The trend of posting inspirational
pictures and quotes on Facebook (it was email forwards and text
messages before that, it still continues in a small way) and other
social networking sites help most of the times, but, sometimes they
give a ticklish feeling when we see how frivolously the term 'positive attitude' and the word 'hope' are used. These terms are
powerful in their own right.
I feel most of the times the attitude
to change things or hope for better times is already there in the
mind. And, most of the times in our mind we are already working on
the things want or how our future takes shape, however negative or
depressed we maybe feeling or look to the world. The intrinsic value
such positive terms is already in the psyche.
I had thought of writing this post
after coming across one really mushy message of how things will
turnaround once you have hope or positive attitude. But, we all have
it somewhere inside us, whatever the world may make out of us. What
the future holds depends how you think or work (being cheery or
gung-ho outwardly is of little or no consequence).
PS: I'm not against reading such
messages talking about hope and positive attitude, I even share most
of them. It is just sometimes that you get ticklish when the writing
goes overboard.

Perfect. You couldn't have said it better! Interesting post and I fully agree with you. There's a fine line between positive and downright sappy!
