Topic: Two Views Of Life

There are two views of life's difficulty, pain, and darkness. There is a negative view and there is a positive view. The negative view of life's difficulty is a view where every bad occurrence in life is a circumstance you perceive as totally out of your control. The negative view of life is grounded in the physical nature of life and a full discounting of the spiritual nature of life. By essentially negating the use or even the existence of your spirit, your heart, and your mind, you give up control over your circumstances. The negative view affirms negative outcomes of life. The negative view affirms the hopelessness of life because in the physical plane in which you live, there is no hope in your physical world for your physical survival into eternity. The negative view always embraces the idea there is either no way to fix or constructively deal with life's difficulties. The negative view of life is a view where the path of life has a definite end. The negative view of life provides no meaning and no purpose in day to day living. The negative view of life looks at life as if defeat is certain. The positive view of life's adversities is a view where every bad occurrence in your life is considered as an opportunity to take charge of as much of your life as possible. This positive view of your life is grounded in life's spiritual, emotional, and intellectual nature. Through the use of your spirit, your heart, and your mind you can exert some control over every circumstance. The positive view embraces the positive possibilities of life. The positive view affirms the hope of life…the hope burning within your heart. The positive view of your life always embraces the idea there is a way to fix or constructively deal with every difficulty. The positive view of life is a view where the path of one's life has not only no definite end, but also a new eternal beginning in the near future. The positive view provides both meaning and purpose regardless of the day's circumstances. The positive view of life looks at life as if victory is not only certain but guaranteed regardless of the dark surroundings in any given moment.
