The answers to our biggest questions are always given when we aren't expecting an answer.
A little cryptic I know, but it is my try at a "Great inspirational" quote. All joking aside, it is true we can spend hours and hours reflecting on some of our life's greatest questions to no avail and then one day, "poof" the answer is provided like magic; oftentimes when we stop looking for that answer.
I have spent the past two years really focusing on my 4 P's of Positivity. Just in case you forgot they are, Peace, Perspective, Passion, Purpose. These are so much more than just a way to stay positive, they are a fundamental shift in the way you live and think which can ultimately lead to true happiness.
For me, I was have always been stuck on the last step, Purpose. Sure, I have found small purposes for my life along the way, but since the beginning of my journey with leukemia I have focused my main purpose on just surviving. Simple I know, but I know I have great things in me and I just needed to devote all my focus to fighting and defeating my foe, Leukemia.
We have a big problem that is taking hold around us faster than an epidemic; negative thinking. Before you go off dismissing this, really take a few minutes to sit back and reflect on it. Think of your own day to day. You probably just breeze by all the great things you do without a second thought, but as soon as even the smallest mistake is made you just pile on.
This is what I mean about negative thinking, when we constantly beat ourselves up over errors or mistakes we have made in our lives. Sure it is okay, and even helpful to do this in a controlled manner, but for most as soon as the negative thinking starts it snowballs; eventually consuming us.
Don't worry I have the cure to this epidemic of negative thinking; be positive.
