You Can't Always Be Positive, But...

By Evan Sanders


In truth, you can't always be positive.

Being positive all of the time isn't realistic because life is incredibly balanced. Life gives us a dose of negative to really help us appreciate the positives.

To be truly positive you have to be willing to suffer through the negatives. You have to be willing to fight through the dark times in order to see the light. Carl Jung once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow." That statement couldn't be any truer.

Throughout my life and on the journey of all of this personal discovery, I have discovered what it truly means to be out in this world to help other people create lives that they can be passionate about and proud of.

Even if the darkest of times, if we are willing to continue looking for the light, we will grow and grow and grow. But you don't always have to push for life being positive. You don't always have to make things look good. Rather, you should pray for a life that gives you exactly what you need to become who you were meant to be.

We all go through tough times and dark moments. We all suffer and we are all challenged by life. That is what makes each of us similar to one another. But if we can continue to put our hearts on the line and breathe into those challenges, we will always be ok.

So yes, always look for the light in the dark, but you don't have to always push for positivity when it feels inauthentic to you. Some days are going to be very hard and make you want to cry. That's ok.

Throughout the years, I've been taught to express these things through my art and pour myself out through my writing and I'm so lucky to have that. So if you're struggling, just know, I struggle too.

Continue going through the struggle because it will give you access to deep amounts of love.
