Two Views Of Life
There are two views of life's difficulty, pain, and darkness. There
is a negative view and there is a positive view.
The negative view of life's difficulty is a view where every bad
occurrence in life is a circumstance you perceive as totally out of your
control. The negative view of life is grounded in the physical nature of
life and a full discounting of the spiritual nature of life. By
essentially negating the use or even the existence of your spirit, your
heart, and your mind, you give up control over your circumstances. The
negative view affirms negative outcomes of life. The negative view
affirms the hopelessness of life because in the physical plain in which
you live, there is no hope in your physical world for your physical
survival into eternity. The negative view always embraces the idea there
is either no way to fix or constructively deal with life's difficulties
or the ways available to you are deficient. The negative view of life is
a view where the path of life has a definite end. The negative view of
life provides no meaning and no purpose in day to day living. The
negative view of life looks at life as if defeat is certain.
The positive view of life's adversities is a view where every bad
occurrence in your life is considered as an opportunity to take charge
of as much of your life as possible. This positive view of your life is
grounded in life's spiritual, emotional, and intellectual nature.
Through the use of your spirit, your heart, and your mind you can exert
some control over every circumstance. The positive view embraces the
positive possibilities of life. The positive view affirms the hope of
life…the hope burning within your heart. The positive view always
embraces the idea there is a way to fix or constructively deal with
every difficulty. The positive view is a view where the path of one's
life has not only no definite end, but also a new eternal beginning in
the near future. The positive view provides both meaning and purpose
regardless of the day's circumstances. The positive view of life looks
at life as if victory is not only certain but guaranteed regardless of
the dark surroundings in any given moment.
