Don't avoid the negative, confront it, deal with it and move on!

Don't think you can just positive think your way through life. Life is, and always will be about dynamic balance. Balance that is foundational to our Universe, Ying and Yang, light and dark, good and evil, male and female and the list goes on and on.
I have a few friends who believe in this positive mind think and their lives have been a train wreck. I have always remained skeptical of the positive thinking mentality and here is some validation of my skepticism.

Here is a paragraph, but you will need to check out the link for the whole story.

"If a "positive thinker," as opposed to (theoretically) King Solomon, had written Ecclesiastes, here is what we might have gotten:

A time to be born, but you never have to die if you see the glass as "half-full."

A time to laugh, but weeping is not necessary because nothing in life is sad if you have a positive mental attitude.

A time to search, and never give up regardless of the evidence.

A time to love, but we're not comfortable mentioning that other word.

A time for peace, so let's pretend there are no bad guys in the world.

A time to heal, but we're not comfortable admitting there is such a thing as killing, or even suffering.

If we are going to deal with the negative before it swallows us, we need to learn to focus on it, intentionally. This involves learning how it operates in our own psyche. We need to face it productively, rather than ignore it. Facing negativity can change your life for the better in ways you have never imagined."

Holistic thinking mimics the Universes duality. To ignore the darkness is to diminish the power and force of the light.
Life is our current reality, it ain't always pretty.
