I was watching a talk show where the following was said. So, I don't claim credit for any of these, I just agree with the speaker. Apologies for the crude language.
Let's say, I take a glass of water, and piss into it.
Then, I add some sugar to it.
If I hand the glass to you, would you drink it? No !!
Just because I added sugar to the water, it may become sweet. That does not take away the piss from the water and make it potable (drinkable)
If I want the water to be drinkable, I must remove the piss from the water. No amount of adding sugar can replace it.
The piss is the negative things in us or our life. The sugar is the positive things in us or our life.
To overcome the negative things, we must work to remove the negative things. Just adding positive things, affirmations or positive thinking cannot take away the negative things. One must address the negative things specifically and then, the positive things can truly make life sweet.
