Phil Sorentino on Staying Positive

3m | Oct 4, 2023

Welcome to another enlightening episode of "Humor: Your 7th Sense." I'm Phil Sorentino and today, we're delving into a universal struggle - staying positive in a world filled with challenges.


You might be surprised to hear that even someone like me, who's been sharing the message that happiness is a choice for years, grapples with staying positive every day. It's a journey we're all on. So, what's the reason behind this constant battle? Well, it's called the reticular activating system, and it's responsible for our innate focus on what's changed, what's different, and what's vital for survival.


Imagine a child on a kitchen floor. They instantly zero in on crumbs, dirt, cat food - what doesn't fit the pattern. Try it yourself - you can't help but look at what stands out. It's just human nature. And let's talk about new car owners - one ding, and for the next two weeks, all they see is that ding. It's hardwired into us.


This system forces us to pay attention to the anomalies. It's an ancient survival instinct that's still hard at work today. So, if you want to be more positive, you must consciously override your human nature and seek out blessings and positives regularly.


We'll explore how health, love, hope, and faith play pivotal roles in our lives and how our existence is a blend of the spiritual and human. Join us as we navigate the complexities of positivity and strive to make every day a little brighter. Remember, happiness is a choice, and together, we'll discover how to embrace it. Thanks for tuning in!
