When it comes to emotional states I’m sure most of us have heard the phrase “Perception is truth”. It basically means that for all purposes, if we think that something is not right, if we are unhappy, what other people think of our situation is almost irrelevant. Many friends or even family members try to cheer us up, try to make us try again, but we are stuck in the mud for some reason.

The idea is a little hard to explain but at the same time very common. Our inability to feel hope, to feel a sense of purpose in our day to day, takes away from us the main reason for even trying. I will tell you, that sounds depressing just putting it into words, but is nonetheless very much the truth for many of us, at least at different stages in our lives.
It's because we have these tendencies, because it’s really easy for us to fall into cynical thoughts, that is important that we learn to fight back. When I say fight back, I’m talking of course of the conflict that is happening inside our minds and not a discussion with anyone we could possibly be blaming for our current situation.
If I attempt to go back to the idea of perception is truth, the message I’m trying to convey becomes a lot more clear. If you are convinced that there is nothing that you can say or do to change your emotional state, to be happy, then in fact you are correct, and there lies the problem, the whole problem.
This is precisely why I try to convey positive messages every chance I get, because the world seems to be full of the opposite. We turn on the TV, there it is some tragedy, we are driving somewhere, turn on the radio, yet another tragedy, we even call a friend and sometimes what they have to tell you is tragic too. We seem to be so attracted to negativity is not a surprise we struggle to balance ourselves emotionally.
The question I ask myself every morning is this: Who do I want to be? Do I want to be someone who is positive today, who thinks there are good reasons to live? Or, Do I want to give into the negativity of the world, because I know that message is around every single corner?
And that my friends, that is the good news. We get to make that choice, we get to select between being a happier person filled with good intentions or a bitter person who is just floating through life because he just happened to be born.
That is why I write like this, that Is why I speak like this, because I refuse to add one more drop of poison to the water. There are plenty of those out there already.
Stay positive my friends

best post ever
seriously @chbartist, i keep on telling my student how to be less emotional and positive in life, how to simplify their life with positive thinking and attitude towards other people and the environment.
i think we should all help student and even the older individuals to be positive.
I think if the whales start upvoting massively the answers of the minnow of here will be a lot of positive thinking in steemit.
Self-confidence is a positive understanding of the self and a positive attitude towards life!
I would have to agree with you @zerokun
according to your comment, it is absolutely true that we must help people who need to raise their self-esteem, we can create a lot of good with those helps
Sure.
follow @gamer666
i love you
Thanks
agree.
always stay positive in what you do.
Totally agree✨👌💞🙌 @samthrive
It is a good thing to be positive with others, even if it is a little bit difficult, you get it twice, it's a chain reaction! Try it! Life will be much more beautiful!
Today I just faced some failure in life, I found out I am able to heal myself by eating!!!
It's good that you are able to face failure, so I'm sorry to be blunt: that is a coping mechanism that can lead to serious health issues. Eating "comfort food" or even the excessive consumption of healthful food can have bad consequences. I hope you will learn better ways to handle failures, such as meditation (I wrote an article a few days ago: https://steemit.com/meditation/@reveurgam/meditation-choices), and remember that success is achieved by not giving up. :)
It is incredible how much power a word or positive thinking can exert in our lives, the world needs more to become a better place to live.
Hello, @chbartist, every day we have a check to change, and it's life, so we decided to put it in our pocket, or we go to the bank to make money, that's where I concentrate every day, we all have problems, if I tell you mine will not stop crying, but everything has a solution, the only thing is death, then we have to see the positive side, we have health, we have family, we have home, employment, food at our table, there is that value, bless everything that we have to attract more of that well-being to our days.
That is why we see that the sun and the moon give us light and darkness, then in clarity we do all our activities, and in the darkness we rest, we must learn to live and direct things.
Have a beautiful Sunday of happiness, abundance and ease
Hey @chbartist how's it going? Another great post with a great message. I only take issue with one part. You said, " If you are convinced that there is nothing that you can say or do to change your emotional state, to be happy, then in fact you are correct...". If this was just a misprint than I take no issue with it whatsoever. But, if it was intentional I disagree wholeheartedly. We are the only ones who can change how we feel. Through steps like identification, acknowledgement, and commitment to change (among others), we are all that stands in the way of our happiness and a more positive life. While the road to those may be difficult, they are roads we must travel nonetheless if we want more from our lives. It is unfair for us to expect the world, its people, or its situations to change to better suit our lives. We must be the ones who say, we will not stand for this, we will not accept this, or we want and deserve better, in order to change our lives for the better. Human beings have a profound capability to change the world around us, primarily our own lives, but because, as you said, we are constantly being bombarded with negativity whether it's through fear mongering in the media or depressing ass people in our lives, it may at times seem impossible. Posts like yours and mine and many others on here show that it is not impossible, quite the opposite actually. We all just have to be willing to put in the work and realize that we do deserve happy lives and that it's ok to ask others for help when we need it. I applaud your continuing efforts to spread positivity and help add value to this human experience. Well done. Take care and be well.
Thx @gorillaguru
Thinking positive is a way of life. There are many problems in everyone's life. Infact we can say everyone has his own kind of problems and if we start thinking negative then our moral will go down and motivation level will go down as well. So one has to think positive all the time and no matter what situation it is. Positivity gives us strength to stay calm and have patience to look for the solution rather worrying for the problem. This post is completely related to everyone's life and this thought must be applied in life. Good blog dear @chbartist

Being in negative is nothing good will bring to you. Be in negative and depression you will miss the bigger picture of life .
Most of the time we became depression for not getting one thing(love, promotion etc), and we misses the bigger horizon.
The situation you are telling it is common for every one of us.
As the river is destined to meet the ocean, so every one of us has our own destiny.
You said pretty right. Negativity is never going to help in anyways.

It is a shame that negativity is so prevalent in the world today. If only humanity's strengths were reported instead of its faults, it would hopefully not be that way. But alas, we are being manipulated by the evilest of men. They know fear and apathy make humans far easier to control. So they ensure they sow such seeds every waking moment of the day. I know it can easily overwhelm one's mind. But together we must unite and fight those forces in order to advance our species to new heights.
I admire your courage and hope you stay strong on your path. Keep striving toward enlightenment and it will come. Thank you for writing. Here's to the best of days going forth!
Thank for your words @tepbiankord

Nice creat blog
I always think positive that make me hopeful to live,
Thank you for the message of hope,a lot of people need something like this.A few years ago i thought depression was just something people opted into but after experiencing it myself now I know better.
Your post is instructive as well as informative. You summed it all well when you said 'We seem to be so attracted to negativity is not a surprise we struggle to balance ourselves emotionally.
More importantly, humans need to appreciate the Universe that It simply gives back to you what you give to It. With this knowledge, we ought always to think positive, speak positve, act positive.
Good job @chbartist.

Really I agree. Positive is the key.
Whether we like it or not, the truth is, there are things (even the bad ones) that will come along in our lives inevitably. Forcing ourselves to be positive all the time which is impossible to happen would lead us to seriousness in life. Letting things to happen that cannot be avoided , good or bad and continue with the journey towards the common good would be much more preferable in my own humble opinion.
I agree. Going too far into the "thinking positive" direction can push people into being superficial and avoiding any "dark" aspects of life... It can also make people less sensitive and less compassionate to others who feel bad, regarding them as "being on a low vibration"...
Absolutely right!
I do agree that one needs to stay motivated regardless of the situation confronting us because that's the only way we have a fighting chance against depression and failure. Hope is the only thing that keeps us moving and when we lose it we loss everything.
Although hope doesn't change a bad situation it arms us with the strength to fight back . usually at the end of such emotional batkes we end up triumphant
Yes rightly said @chbartist life is full of struggle so uts very important to stay positive in life . The best decision a person take is ehen he is calm and relaxed.

Amazing thoughts I agree. A friend challenged me to look at life differently this year. Smile at everyone I meet and just look for the more positive aspects of life is it easy? No not all the time, but the funny thing is when you smiling at people and say hi they generally return the smile.
Exactly @draicluc
It is good to be of the people who try to add a drop of crystalline water in life ... there are already many people throwing black drops ..... and it is as you say ... you turn on the television, the news, in the group by WhatsApp; bad news, you go to the supermarket: bad news, complaints ... anyway ... I try to stay positive ... although there are days that are more difficult than others ... But the goal is not to fall completely and if I decrease a little, get up quickly and keep showing and highlighting the positive at the end of the tunnel and not highlight how dark the road is ... see the glass half full and not see the glass half empty ... Thank you for those POSITIVE messages, It is what the world needs!
Have a great day! 😉
thanks for that.. :)
Good se you @blessed-girl
Once again thank you for visiting my blog. You're welcome... 😊
It happens to me very often, I propose something positive and there are more detractors than those who accept the invitation to have some kind of optimism. People here say: "we were happy and we did not know" and I think: and if now you are not able to see the reasons you have to be happy, will you say the same thing later? We must stay on the positive line even if they push us to fall, because the negative side is very sad and difficult to get out of there.
Exactly @charjaim. Regards
I avoid TV news and radio for years now. Better not to hear anything sad and be positive all time.
Yes! Much Better!
Awosame Articale about positive thought ...
m also avoid social media face book,
Instagram,snap chat etc ..
Thanks for share with us youre Positiveness. :)
I needed to see this post today. Thank you for sharing!
Life is a challenge and we are the players in this game of life.We need not to get worry if we are losing in the beginning because it will keep on giving us chances until we win the game and become a master of it.It just need patience and focus on the goal.
All this sounds great, but what does the “power of positive thinking” really mean?
You can outline positive thinking as positive imaging, positive self-talk or general optimism, however these area unit all still general, ambiguous ideas. If you want to be effective in thinking and being more positive, you’ll need concrete examples to help you through the process.
Such as,
. Start the day with positive affirmation.
. Find humor in bad situations.
. Focus on the good things, however small.
. Turn failures into lessons.
. Transform negative self-talk into positive self-talk.
. Find positive friends, mentors and co-workers.
. Focus on the present.
Always stay positive!
Steem on!
Agree
Beautiful post i appreciate your valuable post and you are,a very good writer I like this post is very interesting i appreciate your beautiful creativity thanks for sharing this blog
you are RIGHT ! it doesnt cost anything to think positively, just a mental focus.! everyone can do this!
so much positive vibes . thanks for motivation
Spot on! ...and we all have our own way of being positive. I have mine, you have yours and others has their own as well. It is really about your perception on how you see and perceive every little things happening around you.
If it is hard for you to start practicing to be a positive person, you can surround yourself with positive people. Thus, they influence you to be positive as well. Keeping it real and appreciative is vital to live a meaningful life.
Healthy, happy people think about what they want, and how to get it most of the time. in this way developing a positive attitude can truly change our entire life .
Positive thinking sounds useful on the surface. (Most of us would prefer to be positive rather than negative.) But, “positive thinking” is also a soft and fluffy term that is easy to dismiss. In the real world, it rarely carries the same weight as words like “work ethic” or “persistence.”
@chbartist
The “power of positive thinking” is a popular concept, and sometimes it can feel a little cliché. But the physical and mental advantages of positive thinking are incontestable by multiple scientific studies. Positive thinking will provide you with additional confidence, improve your mood, and even cut back the probability of developing conditions like cardiovascular disease, depression and different stress-related disorders.
Stay positive my friend and keep moving forward.
Coz that's main key.
Steem on!
Correct @steemrobot. All the best!
Really a great article about positivity
With the positive mind v can do everything . If there is positivity in owr mind we can able to achieve our target Positive thinking /reasoning is a psychological and enthusiastic disposition that spotlights on the splendid side of life and expects positive outcomes.
A man with positive reasoning envisions joy, wellbeing and achievement, and trusts that he or she can beat any hindrance and trouble.
Positive reasoning isn't an idea that everybody accepts and takes after. A few, think about it as rubbish, and laugh at individuals who tail it. Notwithstanding, there is a developing number of individuals, who acknowledge positive reasoning as a reality, and have confidence in its viability.
It appears that this subject is picking up prevalence, as confirm by the numerous books, addresses and courses about it.
To utilize it in your life, you require something beyond to know about its reality. You have to embrace the state of mind of positive reasoning in all that you do.
Every buddy know the story of 300 Spartans who fought for there nation. They were only 300 but the other side there was an army of 1 million solder. But they fought with positivity.
Never mind they lost but they never surrender because they have positive thoughts.
We have to think positive always
Thank You @ajsharma333. ALL THE BEST!

We are human, we can not put hapiness on our face every time and also in my opinion positive thinking will destroy us sometimes.
Let me show you by taking an example.Suppose there is a man who have the degree of btech in his hand,somehow he got a job into a company similar to his study. He works hard there and also smartly, but he doesn't able to live his all dreams because the pay he is getting is enough not a large one.He is the man with hidden talent.Now suppose if he keep thinking positive i.e."A day will come when i will live all my dream, i will put more effort here" , then he is only lying with himself.He knows the company is paying him less, there is no fault in his work, then if he remain thinking positively, he is going to destroy himself.
So which thinking we should keep.Well my answer is constructive thinking.If the above man have constructive thinking, then he will think like this way" I am not able to live my dream life, isit fault in my work or in company". After couple of research he will find that the real fault was in company not in his, by this way he get out from the company and will start working there where his work get enough value.
@amansharma555, I understand your words but positive thinking leads us to make changes in our lives and it has nothing to do with free will we have. If you are not satisfied as you said in your example change to pursue your dreams but anyway we have to think positive. I can guarantee that negative thinking in any situation will never be the solution. Think positive always. Regards
I am not offending the positive thinking, i am only telling the some cases where inspite of positive thinking, we should consider constructive thinking
Positive thinking let you to happy all time in sad moment also which is good whereas constructive thinking show you the main reason of sadness and its solution, which is also good.As we have so many problems facing day by day, no one have time to find the solution for such little problems so there constructive thinking will be bad and positive thinking will be best.
Hi @chbartist, I would like to apologise for accusing you of stealing Christopher Bonella's identity. I apologise for persistently attacking your integrity. I apologise for the unkind remarks I have made to some of your followers on this platform.
On another note, I still hope you reconsider the amount of money you spend on bots.
Hey @mightyblueberry, how's it going? Just wanted to say real quick that your apology here to @chbartist was a real stand up thing to do. Not a lot of people will admit when they are wrong especially in the public arena. I think we can all learn a valuable lesson from this and for that I thank you very much.
All good @mightyblueberry, no problem, I accept your apologies, but regarding the money you sent me I'll send it back to you for a simple reason. I'd rather you send this money because we do not need it like other people in the world and I would appreciate it if you did it for someone who has a great project. For example, I sent 31 steems to a project of @onestring, is a great and beautiful projetct. Maybe you can do the same and I really appreciate it. Regarding the other issues, anything you want to discuss with me I understand, but I rather us have those conversations in private, we can disagree about somethings but this is not mean that we can’t be friendly, because respect always above anythings understand? Maybe we can to chat on discord another day. I want you to know that I not have nothing contrary to your person. Everything is fine for me ok? Cheers @chbartist
It's nothing personal, but I am flagging your posts for a few cents as I think they are seriously over promoted by buying votes. You have many thousands of followers. Why not let them decide if your posts trend? I know that's hard without buying votes, but I see it as more 'honest'. Show that it can be done and I may upvote instead. I know my vote is insignificant to what you are making.
@steevc, also what I'm going to say is nothing personal. For me to be honest or honest as you say, is not to steal, kill, deceive people, envy other people among other bad things that exist in the world. Please do not compare this with votes on steem. I help people .. Do you give flags? Regarding what you say about your vote being insignificant, your vote may be insignificant to you but if at the time you sent it to me I would give it to someone else who needs it because to many people who are in the steemit can be the food they need in a day to survive. Think about it. For me this is a closed subject. Do with your blog whatever you want, but do not go into the neighbor's yard just to waste your precious time with small criticisms. I know what I'm doing, I wish all the success in the world for you.
I believe this is the way @chbartist wanted to promote his messages to people around the world, and I admire his messages for they are positive and somehow people like me in the third -world country are learning. If his posts are not on trending I would not bother reading, but since they are because of his vote buying I am reading them and I am learning...This is to encourage him to keep on what he is doing, anyway it is his right and it is his money, what's more important is he is making an impact to other people's lives . So, sir @chbartist keep on sharing positive thoughts and some of your secrets of becoming wealthy. God bless...!
Thank You So...@joshvel
@chbartist: hello!
I've been on Steemit for...a longish while...and I have tried to avoid networks that vote for each other, hoping that the quality and variety of my articles would be sufficient to earn money. It doesn't matter what my topics are - the only topic that earned any real money was on the death of my wife, after which I went on hiatus.
A few months ago, I was trying to add steempower but I accidentally removed it all, causing my voting power to drop significantly even though I put in more than I'd taken out. Now I earn even less.
The volume of users here has only increased. Any chance of trending because of the true value of my posts disappeared a long time ago - I've just been holding onto the illusory hope of success. This is a luxury I can ill afford as an underpaid widower with two young children. It is frustrating to spend so many hours on an article but not even earn enough to get 1 cent per hour. Most of my recent articles took a few hours to up to 3 days to prepare, especially the ones about editing on Steemit. 😭
Therefore, I want to ask for your recommendation on a voting group I can join so that I can actually earn money for my efforts on Steemit. Would you please? I'm looking for a reputable group that is ethical and rewards its members when they do good articles, ignores (and gives guidance to, I'd hope) mediocrity, and punishes bad/illegal articles.
I'm hoping that, this way, I'll be able to earn good money and be at home with my kids instead of being undervalued and underpaid making others rich.
Thank you for your advice!
I give flags where I think they benefit steemit. My votes go to others and I delegate to lots of people. It's not all about self promotion and accumulating wealth. What you pay for votes could help others, but it just makes whales richer.

Great article
I totally agree with this, but you have to really reprogram your brain, it takes time and the creation of new habits, which can be challenging for some people.
Exactly @thatgaby
Healthy mind with positive emotions would not only make us happy, but keeps the society and our environment positive and will embrace good energy
Fuck off with your positive drivel bullshit and vote boting it. Lame!!
I fully agree. We have the choice to think positive and act positive. But it is a fight against negativity and ourselves. So work on it and having friends encouraging you!
I think if you achieve your first goal, which is making up your bed. Then you can do some small tasks of the day.
great job Stay with positive
Always be happy, smile a lot and stay positive
i believe in positive thinking, few of the times i have had it brought expected positive results, but its hard to remove the negative thoughts from one's heart.
Its easy to say..but I know when I was going through depression kind of state..It just does not remains under our control..but ..i have noticed one thing from past 2-3 months..after deeper meditaiton..i have become focused like laser light and some how i am not sensitive towards what does not matters to me..although I am from India..but was not trying meditaion and yoga ..and when I tried..
