It only matters what you put out there
This one is for all my fellow cynics, trying to cut back on the cynicism. What you didn’t know I was a cynic?
You might not think of me as a cynic because I always focus on the good, and I have some pretty wacky beliefs. Rest assured, I’m a cynic at heart, I am just so positively charged that most people don't realize it.
I have a bad habit of getting sucked into intellectual debates and analysis. It’s good to use your brain sometimes. But I want to play. I think that’s what matters most, our capacity to enjoy.
Even though I know this, I constantly forget. My brain likes being busy and solving problems and that’s not a bad thing, but sometimes I lose the broader perspective.
Life isn’t a puzzle to think our way out of. It’s a canvas to paint on and a mystery to explore.
I have to smack myself sometimes and remind myself…
Remember to have fun
Why didn’t my date like me? It’s probably not cause she didn’t like my ideas or face or personality. I just didn’t make it fun enough.
Why wasn’t I popular at work? It has nothing to do with my ability or the bosses problems (even if he was a dick sometimes). Nobody saw the fun side of me because you are nervous or negative and I didn’t believe them capable of enjoying.
Energy is everything.
You can make the best movie script in the world but if the actors don’t have the right energy, it’s garbage. You could have a plan to change the world but without the right energy, nobody believes in it. You can do a great job but with the wrong energy, nobody notices.
This is one of my most useful meditations, a constant self reminder to have fun.
If you really get good at this, the magic is undeniable.
I’ve taught students who everyone else said would never learn.
I’ve become a legend in neighborhoods that I lived in.
I’ve even been granted visas that aren’t supposed to exist.
I’ve had people break down and tell me their deepest secrets.
I’ve turned the most mundane experiences into a blast for everyone involved.
This is a super power we all possess. We just need to practice it. Getting into the flow and just sharing that good energy with others. We find the energy within ourselves, a playful creative force, and then we let it loose, while Aso benign aware of where others are at.
This is not a power to be abused. It doesn’t work all the time and it’ll work even less if you try to use it just to get what you want. You need to have a sincere desire to bring others up with you, otherwise you’ll end up falling flat on your face and getting into more trouble than you can imagine.
You can’t play favorites. Just because you like that person sitting over there, you can reserve all your fun for them. You have to give it freely.
But if you do, the universe and everything in it responds.
You don’t have control over everything that happens, but you always have control over what energy you put out there.

Nice one buddy... Have you noticed that a lot of negativity is taking over our world?
It's like a bunch of incurable disease and it's eating deep into different places. I've also noticed that this issue of negativity is making alot of workplaces more boring than it is supposed to be.
Positive Energy and positive mindset needs to be adopted by a whole lot of us. It all starts by putting on a smiling face.
I guess you do the smile thing all the time. Hehe.
I've always looked closely into how things work, and when you find things that don't work but that people go along with anyway, it's frustrating. I was negative before it was cool, but it made me lose my hair.
I think a lot of the negativity now comes from a post-honeymoon stage with the internet. We see so much more than we used to see. The things some of us noticed before are now so obvious and everyone is angry about them, but they are not used to dealing with problems head on and so they get angry.
Being positive is really powerful if it's real!
Hmmm. We all posses super powers and we just have to practice them. I actually got your point
Let's see what you can do :-D
I had to learn this last year because of the pandemic because before it I was a big control freak and when I couldn't control, I was depressed.
It did take some time though.
Letting go of the need to control! My mother learned this and after many decades I think she is finally enjoying her life
I think I am too.
You're right and we also attract the right energies if we stay true to ourselves along with keeping a positive attitude towards ones cynicism. Ideally we would make that choice ours?
Yeah man, the real positive vibes require a kind of digging, we tend to have layers. Positivity on top of negativity and deep under all that is our core child which just wants to play and spread love. Calling the surface coping positivity that is doing the world a misdeed. Slay the dragon!
It's generally a lot more fun to have fun :D
Are you suuuuuuuuuurrrre?
Quite :D
its a wonder how deep the truth is, the way you presented it in a lite manner, am currently going thru depressed state right now...but am planing on channeling that energy into something great thanks for sharing this
There is a lot to struggle with in the world but with a proactive mindset we can always make the situation better, at least in our mind and that can have reverberating effects
