Acceptance of every kind of energy

楊若涵

Different people in the world have different kinds of energy including positive energy and negative energy， some of which seems that it will bring obstacles and difficulties to your life. But if you choose to accept all the energy you have， you will gain from them whether it is positive or negative.

I. Accept the positive energy in your life

You may say of course I like positive energy， which means happiness and good wishes. Well， what I mean， actually， is the things and people that can bring positive energy to you. They can help you forget your troubles， gain up your courage， renew your view of the world， and inspire you to further efforts. The acceptance of positive energy will make you as positive as a sun to others around you.

However， “l(fā)ife is like a box of chocolates， you can never know what youre going to get”. In the movie Forrest Gump， the heros mother told him like that. The story of Gumps life was full of ordinary and legend. During the movie， we can clearly see how a fool grew up， how he became a football player， a war hero， a billionaire， and the journey in which he finally found his love. Everything he did seem to be stupid and even ridiculous， and he was always blamed by others. With a low IQ， though， he struggled to be a better man and thus to live a better life. He accepted what he was born to have and made it clear that he would try harder to improve himself.

There is not only positive energy in our lives. In some other words， most of the energy we get is not positive， but we have to， and wed better accept them.

II. Accept the unknowns in your life

Just as Gump， we everyone will meet so many difficulties on our way of life. They may be caused by our own decisions or some unexpected adverse circumstances， which may even trap ourselves and trip us up， making us despise ourselves as nothing. We， however， are always of the apple of the Gods eye because we are all unique in this world. The only thing we have to do is to turn the bad things into good ones.

During your life time， every single thing and every day is unknown to you and others， thus you are already a brave man in daily life， because you have to go through all the unknowns and all the different tomorrows， looking for the bright new future. As a brave man， you will hold the agony given by life with your amazing courage and strong will. Through this， the pain will only transform into a kind of wisdom， with which you can know more about life and gain a more casual attitude towards the busy life. So， it is important for us to accept the so called negative energy， and it will be more important for us to take most advantage of it and try to make it useful in our growth. Generally speaking， pain is just a method of growing up and becoming mature， in other words， only we know the pains can we get some gains. It is necessary to experience and accept the pain of life to get to success. And to some extent， pain can get you more than that you get from positive energy.

While we meet the unknown， sometimes we may feel angry， sometimes we may feel frustrated or even sometimes we may give up. These can all make sense. We are human beings， not the super heroes， you must make it clear that sometimes you are capable to do and sometimes are not. What if when you facing something that you cant go through？ Like Jenny once said to Gump：“If you are ever in trouble， dont try to be brave， just run， just run away.” Its not a negative attitude， but to accept another kind of energy that surely exists in your life. There is always something we are not able to conquer， at that time， if we want to achieve something， we should make progress step by step， do it down-to-earth because theres no shortcut in life. People sometimes may feel unhappy， but I believe this unhappiness to be very largely due to mistaken views of the world， mistaken ethics， mistaken habits of life， leading to destruction of positive attitude towards the world. We should know that all great books contain boring portions， and all great lives have contained uninteresting stretches.

III. Accept the loneliness in life

The capacity to endure a more or less monotonous life is one which should be acquired in childhood. Modern parents are greatly to blame in this respect； they provide their children with far too many passive amusements， such as shows and good things to eat， and they do not realize the importance to a child of having one day like another， except， of course， for somewhat rare occasions. Too much travel， too much variety to impressions， are not good for the young， and cause them as they grow up to become incapable of enduring fruitful monotony. I do not mean that monotony has any merits of its own； I mean only that certain good things are not possible except where there is a certain degree of monotony. A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life， for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy can live. Thus， we should accept loneliness， which is a kind of peaceful energy making you know better about yourself.

IV. Accept the negative energy in life

As a successful movie Inside Out told us， it is the “negative energy” in life that gives us strength： sadness makes us experience gains and losses， thus adding different components to our life； fear enables us to plan ahead， just as the proverb goes “Caution is the parent of safety”； anger draw a bottom line for us， warning the enemies off； aversion colors our character， blocking us follow fashion blindly and lost ourselves. Happiness does make us better， but a lot of times， blind optimism is useless. It is like the fleeting meteors or fireworks burning across the sky， but the dark sky is deep， extensive to the everlasting.

Maybe we all start with simple Joy， cannot understand the significance of Sadness. However， losing the ability to be sad cannot make life perfect. Just like watching a humorous film for a thousand times is unable to help people overcome difficult moments in growth， Only if you find a quiet corner to cry to make these sadness out， can you be filled up with positive energy again. Then we will know that negative energy is also the important part of our life.

We are always eager to gain joy and resist sadness， praise optimism and mock pessimism. It may be Social culture encourage us to be lively and outgoing， however when frustrated， not everyone keeps the correct mindset with a confident smile against all odds. In a word， being positive or negative is a momentary sensation； those who deliver different energies are unique human.

Divers energies are like different emotions that shape us. To accept all of them is to truly accept yourself. In our life， we may meet someone that can teach you something； they will teach you a small staff or even teach you how to live. Whoever he is， we should always be thankful to them； its them who make us grow faster and make us know“stupid is as stupid does”.

The movie The Revenant gives us a vivid show on the power of different kinds of energy. The hero， whose son was killed by his companion， struggled to keep alive no matter how dangerous and how hard it was to live on. He managed to take the revenge for his son at last because he took the energy in his heart and that gave him strong power.

We learn to work harder because of failure； learn to deal with embarrassment because of becoming a laugh stock； learn to treasure because of lost； learn to catch the opportunity because of regret. Each kind of experience can give us a sort of energy， which can all make us grow up. Be thankful to life and the energy it gives to you， the energy， including the ones that make you sad， are not punishment， but experience. Dont let yourself down because of the difficulties and setbacks， learn something from them and keep on going. Thus， youll be a better man.
