Positivity

One of the hardest things to do in life is to stay positive. It’s just hard. Since we aren’t perfect, we can easily point out our flaws. In fact, we find faults in ourselves too easily. It seems easier to do than to point out our strengths.

With all of the challenges that come with life, it is a much easier option to want to shrivel up, become a recluse, and not want to do anything. Hiding from our problems seems like an easy way to go. But ultimately, it benefits us nothing.

While we all naturally have the Light of Christ in us, we often forget about how natural being good can be. We become so polluted from the influences of the world that we think choosing the negative, bad choices is the easier route. The more natural route.

I guess that being good is so much harder because it means we are reaching perfection––something we don’t naturally do as mortals. God knows we struggle with this on a daily basis. So naturally he gives us more challenges. More challenges to bring out our natural goodness that is inside of us all. It’s just hard to realize who we really are as spirit sons and daughters of God. But through these earthly trials, we come to better know who we and God are, breaking the cycle of the natural man and realizing our potential in achieving perfection.
