Positive thinking isn’t ignoring the bad things happening to you or around you. It’s seeing it, accepting that, yes, it’s bad, but looking at what’s happening and knowing you will get through it. Maybe wading through it will be easy, most times it will be difficult, or the very least uncomfortable. But telling yourself to just get through it makes you more resilient.
At the end of the day, resilience in challenging situations is the most important skill. The ability to sit in the discomfort of it all helps more than you know.
