Faith & Reason

Positive thinking alone gives you blind spots. Simple, unbiased acceptance of life comes first. If you whitewash over the negatives, you’ll never effectively deal with them.

As cool as positive thinking is, it has it’s place. It can motivate you to change what you can and need to change… but first you need “reality thinking” to recognize the negatives that need to be dealt with. I’m concerned that too many people make positive thinking their religion, only to blame themselves for “not being positive enough” when things go wrong.
