Dealing With Pain and Tragedy
When something painful or tragic happens, having a positive attitude is crucial.
Tell yourself, āI can handle this.ā āIām not the only one who is going through this.ā Pain and tragedy are natural parts of life that happen to everyone.
Experiencing pain and tragedy give me strength and empathy.
Empathy means that I understand and care about what others are going through. Positivity does not take away pain or tragedy.
It helps me deal with and work through it, so I can continue forward.
The Principle of Positivity
When I choose positivity I experience success and happiness.
When I evaluate my āWhat it isā compared to something worse, I feel better.
When I evaluate my āWhat it isā compared to something better, I feel worse.
When I imagine (create) my āWhat it isā getting better, I feel better.
When I imagine (create) my āWhat it isā getting worse, I feel worse.
I donāt always get to choose āWhat it isā, but I do get to choose how I evaluate and create (imagine).
