The Virtuous Circle

Everybody knows the theory of the "vicious circle" : some people are so affraid to be happy because they are conditionned to believe it can't last, (which is true, emotions don't last that's why we must not identify to it, but when we don't feel joy we don't necesary have to feel pain, we can be calm and peaceful), so those people prefer to stay in a constant state of dread, a perpetual uneasiness, and they search for hurtful emotions in everything only to stay in what they consider a safe melancholy state, if you stay depressed at least you can't fall lower and you avoid the fear to lose happiness if ever you try it, this is a vicious reasonning, can you see?!.

So what i'm proposing is : why not do the contrary and consider life on a positive basis, we know that no state, no emotion is lasting, so when we feel a bit low why not thinking : "Ok i'm down for now but i'm sure, and it's a fact, that will shift and i'll experience joy again" ("this too shall pass"), at once you can feel that you don't dwell on your negative thoughts, that the fright you are experiencing right now is not so serious, and already you can feel lighter, and because you are already less tense, you dare more, you are more open to people, and again because of the confident, positive, and natural image you present, good things happen that reinforce your good feeling, people are more inclined to talk with you, you enjoy where you are, wherever it is, your body feels more dynamic and alert, it's a fact that emotions have an impact on the body and many people create their own illness by a mental distress, so, do you see the process, everyone, it's just a matter of point of view, it's easy to choose now to see life in the direction of the virtuous circle.
