Friends, I have been told I am a positive person and that is what people like about me. Here’s a little secret, I am not always a positive person. Some days I have my moments when I am cynical and kind of mad at stuff. Being a genuine person means being genuine about how you feel about things.
There will be times when I will rant and will share some of the negative things brewing in my head. Much of the time I am going to look at the bright side of things but sharing the dark stuff gives some balance and hopefully makes me more relatable to the person who isn’t feeling it today. It’s what you have when you are an idealist like me. Emotions are a strong thing and it requires balance.
Now I have to figure out how to be mad when it comes time to be mad. I am horrible at being mad just like I am horrible at being sick. It’s funny how this all works.

Nobody could ever be positive and upbeat ALL the time, we’re all just humans and we all have our good and bad moments. It’s good to know we’re all alike in this 🙂

If you’re always positive, you’re like living in a bubble. We should always be aware of some of the negative aspects of life.

I don’t think anyone is good at being sick… Except maybe hypochondriacs lol

So true, emotions are a strong thing and do require balance, but not everyone can balance the two. So they remain in a negative state. People ask me all the time how can I be so positive with everything that’s going on in the world today. I am aware of what’s going on around me, but if it’s not in my world I don’t bother, anything out of my control gets set on the back burner 😉
I can’t control hunger in Africa, but can help those in my community. I’ve lost a lot of people in my life, but I can’t control death so I come to terms and hold on to the memories. We can don’t have to be positive all the time, but as you said we need to learn to balance the two.

Hey, story of my life. But you do a good job at just being human. I think that’s the name of the game. Heck, I’m not always a negative person, so you and I balance each other out. I’m reading through your blog, and I feel at ease within myself. You have a wonderful talent, Tony.
