The Grand Positivity of Existence

---

We can tap into the optimism of the universe by understanding the notion of a positive and expanding reality even when life swings forward and back (yo-yos).

 

when we develop the right mindset and attitude, we understand that things do get better, especially by keeping abreast of the big picture of events over a considerable period, we preserve an optimism which is not just sentimental, but realistic.

 

The Work towards Positivity

 

It’s not like the forward perspective of life is handed down on a platter. We have to work on it. I consider maintaining this holistic forward thrust to Albert Einstein’s analogy. He said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

 

It is obviously awkward to ride a bicycle backward, but even riding forward it takes skill to balance. The force of propulsion keeps the movement of the bicycle going and to my mind it is the same with life.

 

Experiences repeat in a timeless cycle, but a good experience shrinks the struggles of the Journey Back and expands the blessings of the Journey Forward, as the following diagram suggests.

 

From the diagram above, I aim to show how our goal is to reduce the period of Journey Back (x-1) and increase the Journey Forward (y+1) for our lives.

 

An ideal Journey Forward may ultimately expand to a point where the Journey Back can flow together with the Journey Forward and become a transcendental experience. This itself can agree with the positive dimension of reality.

 

A successful Journey Back breaks loose from a position of friction and into a Journey Forward experience of triumph, confidence, and expertise.

 

During the Journey Back, we mostly experience life within the control of the ‘System’. By System, I mean a governing model or domain for people dealing with each other. The good news is, in the Journey Forward we break loose from the System’s control and become the System ourselves.
