Custodians of Positivity

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

Positivity! Time is a strange companion. It moves ahead like an old cassette player locked on “Play” and “Record.” No pause, no rewind, no fast-forward. Just a steady march. Millennials can easily relate to this.

For our Gen Z and Gen Alpha readers, time is like a live stream with no controls. You can’t pause it, you can’t rewind the clip, and there’s no skipping ahead. The only way is to stay in the chat and experience it as it happens.

For now, this is how we live. We record every moment as it comes. But are we really in control? Are we the custodians of positivity?

It’s easy to blame time, fate, or luck for how life turns out. But that’s an excuse. It never builds a good story, and deep down, we know it.

Each day gives us around 20,000 moments. Every one of them is a blank space, waiting for us to decide what to record. A third of those moments vanish in sleep, where dreams stitch together memories and borrowed knowledge. Another third goes into earning a living. The rest? They’re spent with loved ones, or in quiet reflection, if we allow it.

The Real Opportunity

Look at the numbers again. Twenty thousand moments. Every single day. We hold more control than we admit. We don’t need to bend time to change our lives. If anything, giving humans the power to edit time would bring chaos, not clarity.

Throughout history, people have lived fully with the same limits we have. Their lives inspire us as reference points. They remind us that how we live each moment is what matters most.

This is why we are called the custodians of our lives. And if that’s true, we also hold the keys to something far greater: positivity.

What Does It Mean to Be Positive?

People often ask, “What exactly is positivity? How do I build it?”

Positivity is a state of mind. It’s knowing that your abilities have no ceiling, your conscience stays clear, and fear is an illusion. It’s not blind optimism. But a habit feeding your emotions with peace, not anxiety. Treating your past as a teacher, not a prison. Saying to yourself, I can. I will.

Remember, too much of positivity will become toxic, have a balance.

When positivity becomes your practice, your life changes. You stop leaning on others for validation. Your energy rises. Fear fades when facing new situations. Happiness stops depending on external events. Your mind calms down. People around you start to notice and mirror your outlook.

The Power of Will

Positivity isn’t magic. It’s willpower at work. The first step is simple: start today. Practice seeing the good in each moment.

The world is overflowing with knowledge we’ll never fully grasp in one lifetime. Positivity makes us humble enough to keep learning. It helps us let go of the grades, titles, and wealth that feed ego and fear.

Be wise. Be kind. Spread positivity as a way of living. When we do, happiness stops being conditional. Humility stops being rare. And every one of those 20,000 moments becomes a chance to live, not just record.
