Aren’t you fed-up of being told to see the glass half-full instead of half-empty to enjoy a fulfilling life? Don’t they know that you’ve tried and that it just doesn’t work?

As charming as it is, all that literature going around about the concept of changing our outlook on life to thrive at last, does most people more harm than good.

Why?

Because it is absolutely impossible to bypass our deep sorrow in order to see everything rosy. Or else, it will come back with a vengeance through situations even more troublesome than those we’re dealing with right now.

The authors of such literature, often famous gurus, may well talk at length about all the misery they went through before their ‘positive thinking’ brought them their ‘perfect lives’, we ought to look for what’s missing in their stories.

Either they were not profoundly affected by the little (or big) traumas each child suffers while growing up, or else they went through years and years of 'releasing' their impact through various healing means.Which is the only reason why they are now able to see the proverbial glass half full, even overflowing.

But what about those of us who are still profoundly affected by some past event that makes it impossible to see the bright side of life, no matter how much we’d like? Don’t they know that it just doesn’t work?

Yes indeed. Telling anyone that they can at will 'think positive' is a big lie.

Or at best, it is forgetting to instruct them to first heal the pain they carry around everywhere they go. Letting them know that once that pain is healed, so will their sad outlook on life.

A healing that will result in a profoundly happy transformation of their existence.
