You have a purpose.
Every year I live I become more aware, positive, and driven. I realize that life has a meaning, and each and every one of us has a great way to fulfill that meaning.
Ever since practicing kindness to others both mentally in what I think of others, and in interactions with how I treat others, it’s been like a snowball effect. Kindness has impacted my life. I now turn away from negative media and drama, criticizing others, being jealous, and instead reverse these things into the total opposite. I seek out positive things in the world, how I can try to create happiness, and if I find myself envious of someone I say, “What do I like about them? How can I better myself to take on attributes I like about them?” If you notice, it’s almost the same feeling as jealousy, but interpreted and executed in a much different and positive way. I’m being completely honest when I say all of these things have changed my life for the better, and can change yours too.
All of that being said, if you are in a negative cycle or even have room to grow and spread more positivity (which is all of us), then please consider practicing positivity. And please don’t think positivity is impossible, as it starts with the thoughts you’re thinking right now. It’s almost like a diet, you don’t just switch over in a day from eating fast food daily to an organic healthy diet. Likely, you will relapse as your habits aren’t instilled in you. Treat positivity like a diet. It’s baby steps stemming from your thoughts and becomes easier with each waking moment. Soon you’ll go from positive thinking, to positive speaking, to positive giving. When working on your own personal growth, it’s inevitable that you’re also working on positivity with others.
I assume you love crochet since you’re on this site. And if you know absolutely nothing about crochet – good news! That only means you have so many fun things to learn about starting crochet and it’s potentials. Anyways, since you probably love crochet and want to start making a difference, start crocheting.
There are so many ways we can make our hobby into a positive thing for other people. Next time you’re in a crochet slump, fill the void with making a gift to give to someone who needs it.
So I hope you can take something away from this, especially if you’re in a negative mindset. I used to be there too, but you don’t have to look far to realize that our purpose is to help others. It goes a long way and feels good for everyone.

Well said. I try to be positive, but we all can get caught up in negative thinking. Thank you for sharing this and making a difference in people’s lives. Now to get crocheting. 🙂
Trying to be positive is the biggest thing! Negative thinking can get to us all but just trying to be positive is what makes 100% of the difference. Thank you so much for your sweet comment, that means so much to me 🙂 You are amazing! I hope you have a great day Cindy.
