Spread Positivity

Emma's Enlightenments

This Week’s Advice: Spread Positivity. 

We all have bad days. We all have bad weeks. This is normal, but negativity does not help the cause. 

There is so much negativity in the world. Unhappiness is at a high. I feel this is most important to talk about, with everything that has been going on this month. 

Even though it seems like one person being kind won’t change much, if everyone chipped in a little bit, it would turn into a lot.  

Even the smallest amount of positivity can turn someone’s whole week around. If we all turn everyone’s week around, happiness will spread like wildfire. 

Something similar happened to me this week. I was down about a situation that happened and just not feeling good with myself. I was on the way to get food, when someone stopped me and told me I looked pretty.  

A couple days later, the sweetest girl told me I sounded like a Disney princess. This made my heart so full. My voice has always been an insecurity of mine, so hearing that comment made me feel better. 

Two single comments shaped my whole day and fixed how I had been feeling, which shaped my week as a whole. 

I went from being blinded by negativity, to seeing with positivity.  

I put more energy into my step, not only that day, but also that week. I felt so much lighter, and a whole burden was lifted from my shoulders. Every step I took didn’t feel like a drag, I felt happy to walk and have company.

I started to give a kind comment every day because of this. One positive comment can save someone’s whole outlook. You never know what is going on behind the scenes, no matter how good of an actor that person is.  

This relates to this upcoming week because classes, life and situations can start to take a turn; they always do. Things happen. What matters is how we handle them. 

Be upset and feel it.  

But remember that positivity should always be in the mirror. You can handle whatever difficulties come your way, as long as you have the strength to not give up. 

Rejection is redirection. Change negativity to positivity. Not everything is bad, even though it may seem so in the beginning. 

Everything happens for a reason, and you can face all monsters that come your way. Just grab your armor, put a smile on your face and take a step forward. 

Do not give up. Be strong. Be positive.
