You do realize that the super duper happy go lucky chaps and shelas are more prone to suicide, dont you?
I prefer to be a pessimist
Optomists are always dissapointed.
Pessimists can only be pleasantly suprised
Continually being upbeat may be just a mask you hide behind.
Deep down you just wish it was better..........dont you
When I read the horseshit horseboy posts I get this vision of some dystopia where everybody smiles all the time because bad things happen if you stop smiling. Horrible.
Not so horrible when you realise horseboy is just trying to make himself seem better than he is by denigrating other people.
I used to manage this little guy who was always upbeat, happy go lucky and always joking around.
But when anything upset the norm, he went into depression.
It was so sad, we had to hide things rather than run the risk of him becoming depressed and doing something stupid.
On the other hand there was John
Moan, moan, moan
But he was the go to guy when anything happened.
He assessed, adressed and fixed it without pain or suffering.
The little guy had to have councelling when our factory shut.
John got a job in three weeks.
I think horse poo is like the little guy.
Always trying to see the positive, because to see the negative terrifies him here's how i would explain it.
(and remember , you must understand paradox).
its SO EASY to slip into low vibration energy.
we all do it.
i was driving to work a few weeks ago and i was late and i got 4 red lights in a row.
i banged on the steering wheel and snarled and felt my BP rising.
THAT is pure low vibration energy.
do you know how "silly" it is to feel that the world is victimising you by making the lights go red.
do you know how absolutely stupid it is to go into resistance about a series of red lights, how futile it is?
and because i am constantly challenging myself to "raise the vibration" i was able to laugh about it and feel good that, yet again, i had mastered my emotions.
the example of your smiley guy is a the example of a guy who has built his emotional state on quicksand.
there is no solid foundation.
if you want to move up, you are going to have to do it very slowly.
there can be no faking it til you make it.
it is the little .000001 % things you do, mindfully and with presence, every day that slowly move you up.
i do know this, negative thought loops and success barriers will stop 95 % of people from ever trying to move up.
its just too hard and its getting harder.
people are in an emotional soup and social media and modern social conditioning and bad food are making this much worse.
if you dont make a conscious effort to "retrain your brain and master your emotions, you will go down"
failure is the default
mediocrity is the norm
we all have a set point for happiness and we will return to it again and again and again.
this isnt just true of poor people, this is just as true of rich people.
if you work your ass off, full of cortisol and adrenaline to get that first million, it will make you happy for about 10 minutes.
you have trained your brain and built synaptic pathways to scarcity and not having enough and thats you now.
if you cant be grateful for the little things, you are never going to flip it and be grateful for the big things.
if you get the series of red lights and you get all butt hurt, you need to retrain your brain to be happy about the fact you have a car, the sun is shining and you have a job to go to .
Terrified?
possibly i would be terrified of going into that horrible low vibration energy. it sucks big time.
i dont think terrified is the right word. maybe "motivated"
