Colorful Quotes: Being POSITIVE in a Negative World

Even though it's so easy to be negative in the world today,

take a challenge and be POSITIVE. Maybe you'll lead the way.

~Paul Sevillano

I was thinking recently about all the horrible sadness and tragedy in our world today. There is too much of it and it does make being positive a challenge.

I am not one of those brooding artists that creates better when I am blue or depressed. I am definitely just the opposite. Creating for me is about expressing JOY and HAPPINESS, LIGHT and LOVE. When I am feeling sad for myself or others I tend to shut down my creativity and go to a quiet place of suffering, which always leads me to prayer and my personal relationship with God. HE then restores my JOY, HAPPINESS, LIGHT, and LOVE. I have far too much empathy to ignore human suffering, loss, and sadness, but giving more energy to it creates more of it; especially when it is something I cannot personally change or help with. God is the LIGHT. I choose to focus on the LIGHT.

I came across this quote today by Paul Sevillano and knew I needed to create this Colorful Quote. It is just how I feel about the subject of being positive while living in a world with so much negativity. I accept his challenge!
