Are You Fake Positive?
You open some magazines, you see happy faces everywhere... You turn on the television, and on commercials, everyone is smiling (with perfect teeth... lol), and everyone is happy... And then news starts and there is fear everywhere, how many cases more today, how many deaths, who killed who, domestic violence, etc... What a contrast?
And, in the end, you come to Hive, to this great community, and everyone is talking about positivity, positive thinking, and attitude, reaching new highs, personal growth, investing in yourself... How the heck can I do that when there is so much contradiction in the world? How can I reach that when I'm scared about my closest ones when I live in fear? How can I think about myself, when the whole world is in danger?
Despite all those questions, you try... You put the smile on your face, and dive in... Trying to be like others... Trying to help everyone, please everyone... Answer on every single question... Trying to be good with everyone... But, it still doesn't come... You feel that something isn't right, you feel that you are doing something wrong... But you don't know what...
Then you realize... This is not the feeling that I want to reach... This is not the real positivity and positive attitude that I want to build... This is just me, pretending to be positive, desperately wanting other's approval and attention...
Than everything bad starts to coming back... Hey, I have done that wrong... and the other thing also... I was rude to that person... I was negative... Embrace that, and change it... When you hit that rock bottom, then you can build on the healthy ground... Then you can be positive...
Don't forget to check out the video...
In the end, I would like to make an update of my current numbers (October 9th, 2020 - monthly target 90%) on #MyHiveGoals:
HIVE POWER - 17,943 / 20,000 89.71%
CTP POWER - 129,183 / 150,000 86.12%
HIVE Followers - 352 / 400 88.00% --> GOAL REACHED (333)! Bumped to 400
LBRY Followers - 1074 / 1,500 71.60%
Not too much happened in the last 10 days, numbers are slowly going up and there is still hope of getting these goals accomplished until the end of this crazy year... Maybe except that one for LBRY followers, but who knows...

No, because I have always been, I am and will continue to be a realistic person.
That's good to hear! I like to call myself a realistic person, but my own mom told me that I'm materialistic... I'm doing something wrong... 🤣 🤣 🤣
Pretending is an art
Helps in leading your vay

This sounds like haiku poetry.... :) There was a haiku bot on the old chain, but I didn't see it here on Hive :)
And yes, doing things consistently helps a lot to be more positive, as a feeling of accomplishment grows... Focus and smile can help :)
haiku my favorite

This really resonated for me on several levels....
Personally speaking, my life hasn't been an easy one (as many others as well, I am sure) but I always kept a positive attitude to help get me through. I believed it was a power within itself, which it was in a lot of ways...however, as time went on, people saw me happy "all the time" & expected that so I became conditioned to believe I had to be just that. I felt I couldn't show my other emotions because I would either be letting others down or even burdening them....
Over time, I realized I couldn't be like that. No one is meant to be happy or positive ALL the time. We are human & are here to experience all different types of emotions...I am now feeling more comfortable to express them. Sometimes I may not always be great at it & still retreat into the old patterns but I am learning now....:) I realized denying how you feel is denying yourself...
Positivity is something you can maintain even when you're at a lower vibration. It means hope...even when you are in a negative mood, you know it will pass. You still know things will work out as they should...you still trust...
Thanks for this video, Zoltan. This hits home in a much more personal level for me & is nice to know I am not alone in this. You inspire me. 💚
Firstly, thanks for the tip... Appreciate it!
You have described perfectly what should mean to be positive... Deep inside, it the roots, it means hope... If we don't have it, we can't be positive... Sometimes, it gets pushed down by negative things, but it is still there... If we are keeping it alive, struggling with negative thoughts and negativity, in general, is a sign that our positive spark is alive... and kicking! :)
There is no dark without light, and vice versa... It's just a continuous battle of day and night... I like daylight more, and you? :)
Thanks for your continuous support!
I prefer the light out of the two ... :) We are the lighthouse into the world...
Great Vlog Zoltan @ph1102 you are completely right about faking positivity and dealing with problems. I spent years pretending everything was great and ignoring the issues and problems that were happening because i would not let people know.
This worked for a long time but eventually it all came crashing in like a house made of cards and i had to be not only more real with myself but also the people around me as well as complete strangers as the stress of holding everything together got too much.
Fake positivity is a flimsy mask, problems and issues if not dealt with only increase over time, if you do not lift the fake posivity to let people know no one can help you. If you do not address problems and issues they will consume you as they build.
It is ok to be a flawed human as long as your honest about it and working on improving.
Placing a fake positive mask on and not dealing with the problems and issues will always catch up to you eventually.
Have a blessed weekend bro
You said it here perfectly... Fake positivity will not solve issues if we don't take action and do the hard work... and also, noone will help us if we don't let them in...
Thanks for an awesome comment! A great addition to the topic... Appreciate it!
