OMG I so wish I could show this to Tony Robbins self-egoed so-called guru of personal development and Billionaire on the takings of the people he has brainwashed into believing his bullshit. I always felt uncomfortable with his philosophy and thought it was me. And so they sell you the next and the next and the next course infinitum until they’re rolling in money and we are broke, still have sad days and feelings, but struggle to fake it While they sell us on Another of their courses. These people are to be avoided at all costs.

An interesting post indeed. I do believe in the power of positive thinking but never at the expense of denying ones true feelings. Every feeling, every emotion is a representation of how the world around us is affecting us in that moment. To deny these feelings is to not deal with them and that is unhealthy.
For me the positivity comes in to play with how I deal with these emotions. In the past (and sometimes still) I would bottle them up, push them down and suppress them. This, of course would never work in the long run and eventually they would explode out in a fit of rage or something. Dealing with them positively is acknowledging them and the reasons for having them. Not judging them, just accepting them for what they are. Then shifting the energy of the emotion to something positive. Usually for me it is channeling it into something creative rather than punching a wall.
So much great art and poetry comes from pain, sadness, rage, angst. Can you imagine a world without it? Where everyone is positive all of the time? Makes me anxious just thinking about how shit the art and music and should of the world would be.
indeed James. I am not a fan of too much positivity, I think it’s unhealthy.
[…] reduce my debt. This is still a very sore point with me. Thanks to the personal development journey in 2007/2008, and the said guru’s advice on OPM I am still struggling to pay off my debt. But […]
