If we always look for the good side, we will have 2 opposite ways of thinking, positive and negative.

We are often told by our teachers and parents, that we should keep looking for the good side, later you will be successful. Is it true?, on the one hand the point of the statement above, is to ‘revise’ ourselves, because by continuing to look for better ones, over time, we will also be better at ourselves, starting from their mentality, habits, or even behavior.

And the purpose of this statement is to instill and grow the concept of positive thinking. Positive thinking is the way a person sees things in a more positive way. And vice versa, for Negative thinking. We can start building positive thinking from self talk.

Positive thinking has several advantages, such as being able to minimize illness, have much more stable mental health, have more clear and study minds, etc. None the less, always think positively also has disadvantages, such as the characteristics of who have less openness, having overthink and unstable nature, and loss of valuable lessons (support, emotions, care).

What about negative thinking? It’s the same, some of its advantages are training us on hard times, making us aware and careful about a choice or thing, being able to expect something in the worst situation, improving our problem solving skills, etc. And, the drawbacks are: low self-esteem, feel blue or black to the world wherever, whenever, and whatever it is, our minds will not enjoy and have fun with this life, etc.

So, which one should we choose?, always think positive, or always think negatively?, Better both (adjusted to the time), when we are feeling weak, low, down, then more positive thinking is the way out to make us wake up again, whereas when we are strong, settled, above, we think more negatively, because we can be aware and careful about our descision.
