Using the bad, for the good. Motivational

I dedicate this blog to one of my friends, who has had many moments in her life in which she felt like control and rationality seemed to slip away.

It's about negative events in life, and handling them. It is a fact that everyone in life has his or her own way of processing certain impacting events in their life. Some more effective than others, some more destructive than others.


Now, I won't have to tell you which ones are destructive or not. People who use these methods of handling these negative events in life, even know for their selves, that these methods do more harm than good.

However, using destructive ways of handling these emotions and events, is wasting energy in my opinion. I think you can use all of these experiences and turn them around into positive aspects of life. Yes, every single one of them.

I'm not an optimist, nor a pessimist. I am a realist, that's why I seek balance in between optimism and pessimism. You could refer to it as neutral, I think.

This means that I take everything that happens in, ignore nothing, but simply absorb it all. Let it all be, and use each event as a lesson, that can teach you how to process stuff like that better the next time.

Not only that, I think that experiencing bad events, potentially traumatizing events, can actually benefit everyone. Those events make you value neutral and positive events more. However you can also use your experiences to guide someone else in similar situation.

Yes, of course I would choose not to experience some things I've experienced in the past. But now I've actually already experienced them, why not drag both positivity and negativity out of it, right?

Every big event in my life has taught me a lesson, and each lesson helped me evolve myself in a person that could cope with such events better each time. All of those events made me the person I am today, and such events will change me into a completely different person in 10 years.

That was just a little part of my view on handling stuff in my life, I'm not a psychologist or psychiatrist. I know nothing about the human brain really, I only know a little bit about how mine works!
