A neutral mind can be even better than a positive mind, especially when you’re trying to achieve your goals.
Of course, it should go without saying that trying to be positive all of the time is not only unrealistic, but undesirable – sometimes it’s completely appropriate to be negative in certain situations when things go wrong.
But even more important than “positive” or “negative,” it’s important to approach things from a balanced perspective as much as possible.
The unavoidable truth is that life has its inevitable ups and downs. But a successful life isn’t calculated by tallying up all of our life experiences and hoping that the “ups” outweigh the “downs” by the time we reach our deathbeds.
No, life isn’t about the quantity of “ups” and “downs” at all.
What’s most important is how we navigate between those “ups” and “downs” – and that requires the ability to stay balanced, focused, and neutral even in the face of our wins and losses.

The question is: Can you keep the same hustle regardless if you are winning or losing?
No i cant.
I am but human.
But i always get back up when i fall.
I have no choice but to keep going ☺️
Julian,
Thanks for stopping by, Bro.
That is what a tough man do.
With respect…:))
Thank u Murn 😊😊
My pleasure, Bro.
You must be busy as I see you don’t come online that much lately.
Take care…
It’s all about getting up! 🙂
I’m not a happy, go lucky, type of positive, but I am an ‘everything will turn out okay’ type of positive on a daily basis. It’s all about perspective and what you allow to steal your joy. When I lost my mom, I realized that absolutely nothing matters. All of the things she stressed about were no longer relevant. Any long standing grudges, that she may have had or anyone had against her, disappeared in the wind with her soul.
I still struggle with the balance having this knowledge, especially as a parent. If I yell at my son, later I will ask myself that if either of us passed in that moment, is that how you want to spend/waste your precious time?
One can have stratified and diverse frames of reference. My primary frame of reference is in being a natural language visual human bound by the laws of physics in a Darwinian context. I have to survive, eat, drink, and be purposeful and productive.
But I also understand we can transcend these base things. And be creative, inventive, and more organizationally sophisticated. Balancing rights and duties. And tolerance, plurality, and the right to free association.
All good people are welcome to my table across the diversity spectrum. Does that make me neutral? Not sure. I ultimately root for humanity.
I just hope to get as many good meals as I can while being purposeful in this life. In the end, like Tony Bourdain, I’m always looking for a culinary epiphany.
😛
Thoughtful post.
Welcoming everyone to a table across the diversity in humanity.
To me that’s a neutral act that everyone should emulate..:))
I agree. I prefer to focus on quality over quantity.
Me too and that means we are more efficient in using our mind to think what’s necessary.
i love momentary flickering of feelings like mixture of all sorta unknown stuffs at once. And yes i am very good at keeping what i feel to myself and trust me its all super positively funny, i can even laugh looking at ma own shoelaces.
Laughing… It’s so cute how you are expressing is all, it shows how easy person you are..:)))
lol thanks, murn…i don’t know how others deal but things have always been that way with me or maybe that’s what i have learnt( to do) in my journey call life…so far
The more I drop expectations and encounter reality as it actually is, the less disappointed I tend to be.
That is a cool statement that matches best for the topic,
If we keep our mind balance, ready for the highs and lows, we put ourselves in advantages, there won’t be disappointment.
Thanks e_moster….:))
I swiped that from Buddhist teachings. There’s great wisdom to be found there.
Yes, a great wisdom that goes to everyone regardless beliefs.
That was also one of my most important lessons about becoming a man: be alert and prepared to be disappointed by people. Including family, friends, partner, company, country…even the gods.
Lord knows God failed my prayers for a prom date. Or that when I did manage to get a date that it would go well. No, I learned to engage, compete, and deal with the range of outcomes.
If I were in Dungeons and Dragons, I’d be Chaotic Good Half Elven Ranger. Trying to be good, but a loner on the edges. Visiting inns and not being disappointed by the excellence of the beers!
😀
Dropping expectations has been a struggle for me, which includes learning to accept disappointment associated with other people, as you pointed out.
Endurance and hard nosed-persistence in the face of frequent disappointment is a skill I did learn, albeit by brute repetition. lol. 🙂
I think a lot of guys end up in the role of loner, whether by accident or design. I often feel that myself as I age.
Endurance is the term. You just endure the worst social and economic weather. Enjoying when it’s good.
I’m comfortable being that open but alert loner occasionally breaking bread with a few good folks. It is what it is. Life is still beautiful, withstanding our flaws.
Featured,
Simple but hit the point…:))
I think a neutral mind means I can look at the positive and the negative and in the long run make a good decision. A neutral mind looks at both sides of the story and does not close their minds to either side. There will be good and bad in all our lives, it is how you take in stride.
True, it is a balanced mind that is not too caught up in the ups and downs. 🙂
A neutral mind is unemotional/less emotion thus more logical
Yes, keep the cool mind regardless of what is happening in our lifes, no matter if we are wining or losing, our mind stay neutral and it won’t be depressing.

Being objective is indeed a major factor in navigating life. But well channeled and applied emotions are a positive boost in achieving ones aims.
Consider choosing a spouse. There is the emotional and subjective chemistry part. Then there is the more objective part about character, ethics, maturity, and compatibility.
It’s a balance.
a mind that’s logical might not see the subconscious where all sorts could be hiding/brewing.

happy to be tagged, Murn. 🙂
Thank you,
That is the only way to get noticed without the invites anymore.
If I had a nickel for every woman who told me that
Me 2!
Hey you..
See you don’t sleep…=D
i find it’s important to look at/feel the negative for the positive to get a chance.
affirmations can be helpful there.
as in: say/write the positives, see what negative comes p, answer with more positive.
i’ve dug whole syndromes up this way.
THEN the positive can hopefully take effect.
its really important to achieve goals as this thread mentioned
its really important & good for the mind to make short term goals such as what you want to do that day – that week & long term goals that you want to achieve in 1-5 years i already planneed last night that i wanted to handwash 2 vehiclesat home outside & i alrady did 🙂 now im gonna go to supermarket in a few minutes
seems like when its the end of the day & i achieve my goals i feel good inside and feel good about myself ! i still try to do as much as i can when i am disabled now ( multiple sclerosis )
Do you still do volunteer work with teen boys ?
no Mr Higgins
Call me Magnum 🙂
i havnt seen your buddy Mr Arkin around wheres he hangin out at ?
I am sure you can figure that out
i noticed he was banned again recently since he messaged me around a week ago on SWYL and his profile had maybe just 20 comments
keep up the good work
Hi Katie,
Have fun with the shopping.
That is one thing I like the most too. One of my ways to release tension: shopping.
it was nice shopping i even bought dad a birthday cake too this morning ! 🙂
i went shopping voluntarily too
Yours is a strong attitude. Keep fighting on. Live to the fullest.
im a fighter i never say ” i cant do this ” i do as much as i can to accomplish my goals like ever since i was a small SMALL kid i would say ” i want to be a truck driver like dad when i grow up ‘ i still had that dream and goal i was working at a warehouse starting 4 years ago i progressed well there i first got trained to be a certified forklift operator my boss she was cool with me we often talked she knew it was my dream to be a truck driver one day she said ” katie i know youve been wanting to be a truck driver would you like to be trained to get your CDL license “?
and i achieved my goal ! *sigh* ive been disabled with MS since last year 🙁 but its still decent money to me SSI disasbility but i still miss my past life
No,I am happy to be tagged.

Thank you, we do appreciate it.
I’m a bit busy with other things at this moment in time ,but you will see more of me in the future.
Understood,
We will look forward to seeing you more soon.
Please take care.
That’s what she said
You’ll be tagged too from now on.
That’s fine with me Murn.
Thank you for letting me contribute to your very nice blog.
Thanks
And thanks for being nice and behave on here….
I was not sure if you realized who I was …. Now I see that you do.
I will behave and follow your rules.
Thanks for not pre banning me like the guys at many other blogs have 🙂
I will keep it fun and lighthearted here … THis channel is a nice contrast to the other places I post at. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/02e36e7ecbc667646221c136fe923be0fa13d0ac572ed0360d8bf2c1bae616e3.gif
I’ve seen your posts mostly on Jos’s channels and those were definitely NOT the kind of posts I would want to look at or read but I like to give you the chance to have a good side, and your two posts on here have all been good and acceptable to our rules. You can have the two total difference sides now: good on here and bad on other sites, that’s your choice and I will never ban you as long as you stay within the channel policy lines and respectful to our contributors. I may make you a Mod tho, if you are being productive and stay positive…:)) Will see.
I am a horrible moderator ….
I smoke lots of weed and unban people.
LMFAO! Love you, man. Toke it if you got it. 🙂

You’re a saint. Don’t let his manners fool you. Remember, he meant every word he said on those other channels. 🙏💚
No, we watch him 😀
I understand. I’m just saying that even if he does behave, he still believes the same way he did on the channels that didn’t require him to behave.
Hey Lili,
We reminded him bit by bit but so far has been good so I am hoping it will continue that way…:))
I hope you have a good Sunday.
I’m o.k. with it.
Thank you…:))
I’m completely fine with it.😎
Thank you, Arnell.
And thank you for your continues contributions for this channel too…:))
I think I have a “resigned” mind.
Resigned mind, I would take that as equal to freeing your mind….))

Hi Kenneth,

I am glad you wouldn’t mind for being tagged. We’ll happily include you on our future tagging.

And you do the same to me, please.
Thanks Sis.. It will be my pleasure 🙂
Great.Thanks,
I can’t always join the chats, but will always make sure to recommend and upvote.
Btw, I am thinking to turn off the responses. That makes the page looks busy.
I think recommend is good.
What would you think about this?
I kept response.. it a way to see what people think about the article and the topic… Sure, the comments gets upvotes and recommended but response is article level.
Yes, that’s it the article judgement…*Smile
Tag me anytime, Murn. Thankyou. 🙂
Hi Tassieo,
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Thank you for the tag Murn.
That’s awesome.
Thanks so much, Dacnofish…:)
