13 Mar Idealism
Is it good or bad to be idealistic?
Being idealistic, like everything else in life, has positives and negatives.
There are various ways you can perceive the thought of idealism. The most common way is through our ideas and beliefs. Most of us see things as they are, the reality of life. Then we visualise, in our mind, what we’d like things to be like – something different, something better.
According to the Law of Attraction, what you imagine in your mind can become your reality.
Whether we focus on positive or negative stuff, that becomes our reality. So when you realise you are focusing on the negative, change those thoughts to positive ones.
It’s like seeing a problem and then contemplating the solution. You go from the negative to the positive. Every problem has a solution, so the saying goes.
As a parent, it’s vital to help your child explore the positive as this impacts their mental health and emotional well-being.
As an individual, you know how helpful focusing on the solution rather than the problem is. You know it helps you move forward and make progress in whatever it is you want to achieve. We are opposed to dwelling on the negative aspect of things and allowing that to impact you mentally, emotionally and physically.
When you take the time to sit and reflect on various issues, you learn to trust yourself, knowing that the answer is within you. A solution or idea will pop into your head will inspire action.
While some may view being idealistic as not living in ‘the real world’ being idealistic is about imaging a better world, an improvement somehow. It’s a hopeful thought that things will change for the better.
Having a vision of how you want things to be, rather than how it is, is the start of progress when you search for, and find, a solution to a problem.
We all have ideas of positive changes we want to see in our world. While we don’t have the solution for all issues, there might be one that we feel passionate about that will inspire us to do what we can to contribute to making the world a better place.
This morning I was reading about how a woman debuted her role as presenter for a long running TV show and interviewed a victim of domestic violence. The perpetrator went to jail for a few years and is out. The victim is now anxious, lives in fear, suffers PTSD, and so much more.
There seems to be a lack of justice in our justice system. Despite being sentenced to six years in prison, the perpetrator only served four years. Has the perpetrator been rehabilitated? Will he destroy someone else’s life as well? Are there limits to how many lives can be destroyed before stronger sentences are imposed?
I recently watched a documentary called ‘RBG’ about Ruth Baden Ginsberg. An inspiring woman who did much to bring equality into the world for women and men. Women’s rights was a topic she was passionate about and made a positive contribution towards.
I’m passionate about parents helping their children become confident, happy, resilient children who grow-up to become self-sufficient, morally responsible adults.
If you’d like to know more, I run a free one hour masterclass each month. Contact me if you’d like me to share the date of the next one. You’ll come away with an understanding of the Conscious Communication Formula.
