Advanced Members Popular Post Fori Posted May 28, 2018 Advanced Members Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2018 I'd say "we're alive and healthy the way problems are white". Your problems create them with our thinking, with the exception of health. So don't get mad too much, that trouble may come and health issues. Smile to life, to smile upon him. Everyone has a different problem, which has a different answer. But when a healthy person and his family and loved ones are healthy and are up to it and with less may be happy. As a side I'd say "we're born with nothing and nothing will be gone, so let's all live our lives peacefully as good people." and let me put up with things that don't depend on us, that's life. Smile, love, make good stuff and you will feel the happiness. Enjoy what you have, follow your dreams, but not at any price.Think about the good things.

Advanced Members Popular Post Dann Posted June 4, 2018 Advanced Members Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2018 As the first stage of this contest is coming to an end... I would like to give my input. Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for participating in the contest, reading your responses filled myself with positive emotions, and I'm sure it did to others. Now, on to the question: On 5/25/2018 at 9:53 AM, miaa said: QUESTION FOR CONTEST 1: What would you say or do to make a positive impact on yourself or to someone you want to support? This question is a bit tough due to the fact that making any type of impact even on yourself, is something that is not so easy to achieve... But that should never stop you from trying. So with that being said I'd like to first state what is HARD about being positive. To me, the hardest thing about being positive, is understanding the situation. Often times for us to be able to give advice or make a positive impact in someones life you need to understand what the person is going through as you may be stepping into VERY SENSITIVE territory. Giving the appropriate positivity is always a factor, because although we may try to shine light to darkness, we will always need to be sensitive to each persons situation. I usually try to find out the situation at hand (if the person is open or willing to discuss it) and based on that you give the appropriate positive feedback to assist someone in moving forward. tldr; But ultimately to me, the best way to make an impact not only on YOUR life but simultaneously in OTHERS' lives as well, is to always remain positive, always give 'the best you' to anyone and everyone at any given time, and I promise that without you even knowing it... You'll make that positive impact in someones life. And that's my two cents... I hope you guys can stay positive and I hope you're spreading the positivity throughout life and your peers, I am looking forward for the remaining 20 days of positivity! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Members Popular Post miaa Posted June 4, 2018 Author Advanced Members Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) Hola!! I’d also like to thank everyone who participated in this first contest. I really enjoyed reading each and every one of these comments. In fact, I found myself looking back at the comments to use them as daily reminders and to shed some light on my dark moments. As Danns said, they filled me with positive emotions and I hope others felt the same as well. Whenever I felt down or so low to the point of giving up, I tend to ask myself these particular questions: What can I do to not feel this way? How can I remain positive and not give up? Or if I know someone who has similar thoughts as me I ask myself How can I support them? So this is where my question for this contest stemmed from. I’m sure everyone knows by now that life is not easy at all. That’s just reality. We have our good and bad days. As humans we have emotions, so we’re allowed to feel the negative side of life. We’re allowed to feel anger and sadness for the moment. IT IS PERFECTLY FINE TO NOT BE POSITIVE ALL OF THE TIME. For me life is all about balance. YIN AND YANG?! Negativity is used as part of the learning process. Thus, it’s imperative to conquer the negative thoughts at the end of the day before they consume you and you find yourself drowning in a blackhole of despair *cringes*. Overall, make sure your bounce back is special . What do I do to make this positive impact on myself? It’s situational. It could be as simple as going out for a walk/run, going to the gym, writing down my thoughts or writing inspirational quotes down on sticky notes as daily reminders (i.e. When I brush my teeth, I have a sticky note on the bathroom mirror that has a motivational quote). In other words, things that are beneficial for myself yet break the negative train of thought at the same time. But I make sure I take it all as a lesson and learn from it. If my situation is more complex or I have that feeling of drowning, at first I just sit. I take it all in. I remind myself I have to do something. I take a deep breath and I envision my goal. I drink some green tea or juice. I diffuse lavendar/chamomile essential oils as part of aromatherapy to help me focus and de-stress. I set up a plan to execute this vision. I could seek reliable resources to help me i.e friends, family, books, etc. I take it one step at a time. As for someone I want to support, I am actively listening. If it’s in person, my phone is on silent and put away. Through text, I refrain from multitasking and basically ignore any other notification. I keep my personal hardships out of the conversation, unless he or she asks me to do otherwise. I put myself in their shoes (or at least try my best to) to understand the person better. I’d give them a compliment and remind them to count their blessings. I’d also tell them things that work for me (as I discussed above) so they could try them out to see if it works for them too. We both work together to find a plan or a solution. Sometimes, all it takes is a big hug and reassurance. Life is all about the evolution. My favorite quote is from J. Cole’s song “Change”: “I sit in silence and and find whenever I meditate...My fears alleviate, my tears evaporate. My faith don't deviate, ideas don't have a date.” Sorry, this post is extremely long!!! I thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts. Tonight, I will announce the winner(s) of this contest and also post contest 2. Stay tuned my friends!

Advanced Members miaa Posted June 5, 2018 Author Advanced Members Share Posted June 5, 2018 Well, this is officially the end of Contest 1! Again, I thank everyone for participating. All of these comments were very thoughtful, so it was rather difficult for us judges to choose one winner. However, we decided @Lemona wins this one! She provided us with several different ways on how to be supportive and make a positive impact, such as “doing random acts of kindness” and “treating others with respect”. The song was also a very nice touch. Please contact @Sydno to claim your prize! Congratulations Although she won, I believe everyone here are winners. You are the change we wish to see in the world. Remember, this contest is not about winning prizes, it’s about spreading positivity to yourself and the community. One contest down, two to go!! Contest 2 will be live shortly after this post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
