A minute of positivity
A mile of possibilities

It’s a popular saying that there’s power in positive thinking, truly, there is and the mind knows this. The mind works with what you give it. Considering all the political and socio-economic strife surrounding us, it’s simply easy to get subsumed by the pervasive rancour, pessimism, negativity and division which has far more reaching effects than we can compute. The thing is this: as long as humans walk the earth, there will always be strife. The question therefore is, how do we manage the strife?

Negative energy succeeds in antagonizing and amplifying difficult situations which only leads to further frustrations. We may not be able to hide our heads in the sand, play dead and wish the troubles of today’s world away, we must, however, learn to stay positive in the sight  of these vicissitudes, to hold our peace, to speak our truth without bitterness and virulence and above all things to remember that ‘it’s our choice on how we choose to react.’
