Day[9]'s Musings - Being Relentlessly Positive
A few people mailed/tweeted this one at me and while it's kinda basic and silly, I thought I'd post it exactly because it is kinda basic and silly. These kinds of simple things can make a difference and sometimes we think too deeply and conceptualize too much about self-development.
Cheerz!

I also hope people don't neglect there depressed friends after watching this video.
Many people couldn't deal with me being sad, so they cut me out or are hard to stay in contact with. I did had some fun during those times when my cousins came over (2 days in the week). That got me through my depression. But finding the right therapist did the job. It took me 2 years. He's black, kind of a weirdo but still a normal guy, used to be a gamer, had a hard time, studied lots of stuff, even hypnoses. He was the first person to understand me. So I continued talking.

when he talks about relationships I still don't understand. Does family count or they an exception? If family are constantly negative towards and about you, don't add anything positive to your life and if anything impede your development and journey through life, should you just try to get them our of your life? Or is there some sort of special rule because whenever I talk about it with friends it's the only subject where people will say "yeah but it's family, you can't just break ties with them". I sometimes feel like I was adopted (I know I wasn't though and sometimes wish I had been).

That video kept me positive while waiting in the waitingqueue of SWTOR, lol. Really great advice there! I already tried the "thanks instead of sorry" thing, and it's just awesome :D

I actually saw this video the 21st. (I'm subscribed to day9, but lost my interest in playing SC2 atm)
I started used this method of his: Not saying sorry all the time and instead saying "Thanks for your understanding." does make things more positive.
Basic is how I like it. Because nobody ever thought me the basics. And you can show this to almost everyone.

Tim Young posted a discussionBeing right
In a sense I want to blow up the words “right” and “wrong”. I want to banish them from my vocabulary.More specifically I do not ever wish to BE right.And I do not ever want to say to someone else “you are WRONG”. What is the purpose of being or proving oneself to be, right? And what is the purpose of proving someone else is wrong?Apart from some sort of ego based sense of satisfaction what is the purpose of these things? Can anyone give me an answer to this question? If someone says something…See More
