Proof Positive * 13
    #28448873 - 08/27/23 05:20 PM (4 months, 29 days ago)

In an effort to be a better person and maybe help someone else struggling I thought I'd create this thread. A place to be seen and heard. If you're feeling a little down then come in here. Yes, we're on website for growing illegal substances but WE can here for one another and build  better community around all us. I'm not suggesting anyone to be coddled and mindlessly supported but rather a place for honest and helpful discussions.

Less of me and more of we. Just flip our view from me to we and WE can do so much.

I hope you'll sit a spell and we can grow together.

Yeah, yeah.

If anyone else is lost out there, know that you can be found in my heart.

Today's message:


Forgiveness isn't about changing the other person or their actions. You cannot expect that to happen. Forgiveness is you changing YOURSELF. Every time you are reminded of a situation it is an opportunity for you to forgive and change each time. We don't HAVE to forget but each time they are forgiven is growth for us.

Be good.


--------------------
Yeah, yeah.

As a challenge to myself these days I went out and made it a point to introduce myself to strangers. I walked around a local city lake/park.

I spoke to 2 groups of people which is way out of my comfort zone. I told then they are seen, heard and loved as each of you are. Each time was a positive experience.

Just because we cannot do something ,perform a talent, task, chore or anything you today doesn't mean I can't get better at it. It's ok, but there's no reason to be discouraged over it. Tomorrow we'll better than we today and so on. Build.

Nice try Idalia.

I heard that if we spend 100 a hours a year practicing something we'll be better than 95% of others out there. That's 18 minutes a day.

It's about to get so positive it'll make people uncomfortable

Great idea for a thread :rockon:

So, today I asked my wife to help around the house a little. I gave her a few projects and direction to help while I tackled some more intense projects.

She did well for a bit but eventually she threw in the towel and I began to get frustrated and stewing. Normally I'd fly off the handle and ask why she doesnt help, does she care, her , her, her. I realized this and gave her a pardon.

Rather than asking what's wrong with her, I asked myself how I could explain why I have to do things and how it could motivate her. Instead of pointing out what she didn't accomplish and make her feel bad,  I took her to show her what she had done and how well she did, as she's interrupting me to do something stupid as I'm typing this woosaa, and told her to be proud and take pride in what she had done.

Hope it helps.


I did that stupid task without being an ahole. Progress.


--------------------
Yeah, yeah.

That is good progress brother. Iโ€™ve been laying off drinking at home for the past few months. I feel much better on a daily basis and and much more involved around the house now. Got tired of always being intoxicated and doing it around my children. Steps. Steps in the right direction.

:congrats:

I get that being involved part.  Sometimes we can drift into that roommate zone if not careful. Keep it up HBO that's great.

I heard you're so positive that when you make two wrongs they DO equal a right.

It's been a challenging day. Especially this last few hours. I think some grief and anger is coming to the surface. Kind of struggling to express it properly.

I did have a cool interaction with a homeless gentleman. Johnny the Kid. I've noticed him in the past usually rocking out on the Street corner, he was playing air drums on day that seemed to synch up to what I was listening to. Today he was somewhere I don't usually see him and had a chance to talk with him. Turns out he played drums in the 80-90s and was listening to the same station i do. Spoke with a few minutes. Was a nice genuine human interaction. I'll see him around some more.


--------------------
Yeah, yeah.

Woah what a day. I had a good hour where some deep stuff was processed. My wife stepped up big time and got me right. Wound up having a fantastically productive and rewarding day.

So far ITT:
  • Honest positivity is a choice and not always an easy one.
  • It requires commitment and effort to really get used to.
  • Often brought on by our connection to others and the desire to do right by them via deciding to do right for ourself.
  • Can be amplified & becomes successive/self applicaple more readily once it's noticed & appreciated outside of ourselves.
  • A comfort zone and a rut can be the same thing.
  • Positivity doesn't have to exist as the exclusive state, we can try again to reapply it whenever we need. Even on a minute to minute basis.
  • Johnny the kid shreds.

Personally, I choose to try and enact positivity because I find life more managable & rewarding that way- like that old thing of framing as challenges instead of problems- but am also aware of applying it improperly, cheapening its value and lessening its overall effect.
Objective positivity or discerning compassion seems to be more appropriate and sustainable.

Anyway, nice one NFLProof, rockin thread.
