Why You Should Let Negative Thoughts Pass By

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

We are human beings. We can’t stop thinking about things. We are going to be thinking about positive things. We are also going to be thinking about negative things. We will never stop thinking. The question is, ‘What are you thinking about?’

When you receive any negative thoughts, don’t fight them, let them go. If you try to fight them, they will never leave. They will keep coming back to you. So to make peace with yourself, just let them go. Do not keep them. If you do, they are not going to add anything to your life. Instead, they are going to make you really unhappy. That is why you see people who are not happy. Their unhappiness has nothing to do with them. It has everything to do with their thoughts.

When you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, turn yourself back to your real self. If it is not what you want to be thinking about at that moment, you have a choice.

Focus on what is positive in your life. It is what is positive that is going to take you back to where you want to be, who you were meant to be.

No matter what is going on in your life, you can be better. Do not accept anything that is not adding value to your life, to your creative life. You need to get back to yourself. You need to do better for yourself. You need to heal your life. You need to get away from your old lies. If not, you are not going to move forward.

Is that what you want?

According to Kenneth R. Ginsburg, ‘Creativity is more than a component of coping; it is a facet of ourselves that enables us to develop perspective and flexibility, both of which help us to be more resilient.’

Creativity is not for some people. It is for all. It is how you interpret the world around you. It is how you live your life, how you do your work, and how you treat other people.

Creativity is good for your growth and development because it focuses on the process, not on the destination.

‘Learning a new process and making many messy attempts can be more exciting than the end product.’

If you want to be more creative, focus on the process, not on the destination.

Another reason why creativity is good for your growth and development is because you are not afraid of failure. And failure is one of the reasons people don’t try new things.

You don’t want to be perfect, but you want to learn. When it comes to creativity, learning is much more important than the destination.

If you want to be more creative, take the chance to make many mistakes. Do not hide in your comfort zone.

Do not be a perfectionist. Be a learner.

‘A perfectionist would never take the chance to fail so often, by shooting roll after roll, before producing the desired result.’

Finally, creativity is good for your growth and development because ‘creative expression also draws on our ability to look at situations from different angles and approach a problem from various perspectives.‘

If you really want to put your creative energy to work for you, you must be your own cheerleader.
