Toxic B.S. by Serge ‘Mage’ Cote

What is toxic positivity?

“The overgeneralization of a happy, optimistic state that results in the denial, minimization and invalidation of the authentic human emotional experience.”

Positivity is not about denial. It’s about being strong enough to not let evenement break us. It’s keeping the flame alive against all odds.

“Everything worthwhile in life is won through surmounting the associated negative experience. Any attempt to escape the negative, to avoid it or quash it or silence it, only backfires. The avoidance of suffering is a form of suffering. The avoidance of struggle is a struggle. The denial of failure is a failure. Hiding what is shameful is itself a form of shame.”
– Mark Manson

The people who are using denial are the same thinking they can use any excuses to do whatever they want without taking any responsibility.

When you need to mask your action, you’re not positive, you’re just full of BS.

People who use positivity to justify their bad attitudes are just full of BS.

People who can face their reality without using excuses and keep going on are the real positive people.

You’re not positive in relation with others, you’re positive in relation with yourself and what’s happening to you.

You can’t get anyone to see hope in any situation. If they can’t see it, you can’t change that. You can only listen and hope they’ll find the strength to see a way out.

Positive reality by Serge ‘Mage’ Cote

Reality is all about perception.

Perception is treated by our brain. Doing so, we interpret and change reality according to what we have learned.

When we face reality, we have the power to change the way it is interpreted.

A positive mind choose to look for the good in reality. Doing so, it changed reality in how it is interpreted.

“Positive anything is better than negative nothing.”
– Elbert Hubbard

Positivity is a choice.

“Winners make a habit of manufacturing their own positive expectations in advance of the event.”
– Brian Tracy

Positivity and love goes together. Negativity and hate goes together. It’s a choice, and it’s all in your hands.

Being positive is all about you. Stop imposing yourself to others, if they don’t see reality as you do, it’s ok they don’t have to agree with you.

You Can! by Serge ‘Mage’ Cote

If you are waiting for a sign, this is the signe!

You can do it!

Stop the waiting, and start the doing.

Step up and do what needs to be done. You know what you can do right now, why don’t you do it?

Yes, people will tell you to stop. They’ll tell you that it’s a waste of time. They’ll tell you that you can’t do it. They’ll tell you that they did try and it don’t work. They don’t want you to succeed! Because it will bring back the regrets of doing it themselves.

You can be great!

You can do great things!

Step up and do it!

Yes you can!

Special Gift by Serge ‘Mage’ Cote

You are unique. You have a gift that is not like any others. Find what is your gift and work on it so it will become better and better.

Even if you have a gift that no ones has, you still have to work to make it better.

People around you will start to notice your special gift. They’ll think that you did nothing to sharpen it, that it was easy. You can’t change their view of your gift. It’s ok, keep going on.

You can’t help anyone find their own special gift, it’s a job they have to make themselves.

Get up and start building your dream. You’ll find your special gift in action.

Have the courage to do it.

Don’t wait by Serge ‘Mage’ Cote

Don’t wait to feel like doing something with your dream. Go on and start. The feeling will come as you work toward your dream.

Be the person who’s gonna take action, face the result, adjust and keep going on.

If your dream is great enough (for you), you’ll find the energy to do what need to be done.

Face yourself, no one will do it for you. Don’t wait on anyone to help you. Some will and some won’t. And it’s ok, you won’t get everything at once. Keep going on.

Get up and Hit back!
