Negativity

Negativity sucks your energy.

I'm a huge fan of Rafa Nadal while my brother thinks Roger Federer is the best player of all time. Everytime we watch a tennis match together, he always tries to make me convert. Sometimes he would tell me why Roger is the best but sometimes, after seeing that I'm not gonna lose faith over Rafa in any way, he would tell me why the Manacorian fails big time.

And this is typical. You can influence people's choice by giving them positive points, or you can implant negative thoughts on their mind.

It takes the same effort to blab about both sides, but I always feel that injecting negativity drains more energy.

I think we all should focus on the positive. Always, or at least we should try to. I don't think there is one thing in life that is for everybody. We all have our own thing, to which we commit our thoughts and efforts and sometimes even money. And we do it because we know there's so many good things in it. So no need to point out that other things are bad, just because it's not our thing. Chacun son metier, so the French say. We all have our share in this world and if we focus on the positive, we eliminate distracting energy and get more things done.

"A Man...

...could not always be where he belonged." - Eddard Stark



There's a quote saying that if you want to know where your heart is, look to where your mind goes when it wanders. There are places my mind visits when I daydream and I know that I belong there, but life isn't just about where you stay. I've been in a situation where I stayed in a place I love but I'm not doing things I love, and if I have to choose, I would give up that place again to be where I am now. Here I'm giving my service to the community, I'm making music, and although there are sacrifices to make, I know that I'm happy.

My ideal still is going there, to that place in my dream AND to be able to do things I love. But then in life, you can't always get what you want. Life is compromises you're willing to make to create happiness out of imperfections. As Goethe said, happiness is always there. You just have to learn to grab it.

Right now, I'm so grateful to say that I'm holding my happiness in my hand. Steadfast.
