A Novel Concept

A Novel Concept “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” ~Winston Churchill Lately, I've stumbled upon several blogs that appear to be antagonistic or perpetuating drama. Here is a word for you: Optimism. It can turn a situation that looks negative or bleak into an opportunity or something to learn from. It can replace the draining thoughts of pessimism with something that will give you more energy and enthusiasm again. And it can help you to jump over obstacles, to keep moving when you fall or stumble and to not give up just because of temporary setbacks. Lately I've found myself drawn to blogs that are positive and have been shying away (and considering removing myself from watching any blog) thats appears to be outwardly negative or antagonistic. I have enough drama with my and blogging (whether it be reading others or posting) offers me a means to escape. I sure as heck don't want to come here to read more drama! Here's a novel thought: perhaps we should all focus on injecting more optimism into our own blogs rather than attacking others. Because we tend to reap what we put forth the long run. And in the short run, well, we get an added benefit of giving smiles to others when we spread our own optimism. Not to mention our self-esteem will receive a boost when we rise above the pettiness. Here's a challenge: let's see how many bloggers can make a commitment to inject more positivity and less pessimism into their blogs.  |

Works for me, myelin. I have noticed some of what you point out too. I have a preference to read rather than write blogs but that's me. Regardless, I agree it is nicer to read those that are more positive, or informative or entertaining than those that "piss in the wind." I'll happily keep watching yours. Hope your recent dates have been awesome!

Challenge accepted! I believe that I have never posted a single negative thought to my blog, but just in case this challenge goes for future posts only. Thank you for you positivity and loving energy, Myelin! My featured post this week: Pulling Fantasy Sex Out of My Ass.

I can handle a good rant once in a while but a steady diet of it...my mind starts to wander. If I let it wander too far one of these days it might not come back, and I'm still gonna need it for a couple more years. I have mixed feelings about this. Two of my favorite political writers are Hunter S. Thompson and Matt Taibbi. You'll find some positivity in there but you're gonna have to look for it. On the other end are Thich Nhat Hanh and the Dalai Lama. You'd need a lice comb to find any negativity in those two. I can certainly understand the need to look for balance in your personal life, and why you'd need to weed out negativity when you're confronted with it in your working life daily. But I can also remember the positivity that prompted Englishmen to say of Mussolini that " By Jove, the man made the trains run on time!" Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I used to read a blog that was a train wreck every post...kind of like slowing down to see an accident. Every time I would read it, I would think - why do I do this to myself??? Thankfully the blogger stopped posting. It's weird since I'm quite positive and am allergic to drama. I tend to abide by the rule my mama taught me - keep your mouth shut if you have nothing nice to say. But mess with my people and I can't guarantee your safety. I'm still figuring out how that translates in blogland. xoxo Always tell the truth Use kind words Keep your promises Giggle and laugh Be positive Love one another Always be grateful Forgiveness is mandatory Try new things Say please and thank you Say your prayers Smile ~Author unknown

I don't post to inspire people but I do get inspiration from other blogs. I've been here a while and have read a few train wrecks in my time.

That is pretty much my philosophy, and I have found some really great blogs (too many, in fact). Some people seem to like controversy and can deal with it, but it doesn't do anything for me.
