Balance Hope & Realism

 

To be happy and successful at the 

same time, a balance between hope 

and realism has to be attained such 

that hope wins over pessimism. To 

ensure expansion of positivity over 

destructive tendencies in self, it is 

necessary to ensure that the soul 

remains optimistic about attaining its 

desires in the future, as a soul who 

becomes too negative while 

overcoming problems loses interest in 

learning the art of creation of 

happiness and seeks to leave Earth by 

developing diseases in the body which 

lead to death. The soul who has no 

desire would not co-create anything 

positive. Hence, giving up desires of 

happiness or peacefulness is not 

emotional management. 

For example, human civilization 

developed from a desire to build 

houses. If man had given up the 

struggle of converting nonsensical 

barren land to sensible existentialism, 

we would still be animals living 

without houses in jungles. 

Therefore, difficulties have to be 

overcome such that desires continue 

to motivate the person to create a 

better life, which is possible only when 

positive emotions dominate over 

negative emotions through learning 

how to apply emotional management
