Sadness is known to be one of the most common emotional difficulty . Sadness is something very personal and deep. Sadness can be beautiful, the fuel to create art and empathy between people. It is a temporary emotional reaction that is caused by the envionment you are in or the people around you. Imagine if someone or something makes you sad , once they're gone or you totally moved on from it , that feeling of sadness will vanish as well.


People nowadays tend to always think that we must be happy at all times , but it's a fact that too much happiness , if it'll subside , this can bring people to anxiety and worries. In reality we feel sad because of the following reasons : *heartbreaks , family problems , death , failure , disappoinments, stress and depressions. Humans naturally feel happy and dependably get their joy from someone or something, so when this one's gone, sadness starts to cover the whole being.


But did you know that sadness can bring good things to us?



Kindly watch this video clip , courtesy of youtube. If you guys had watched the Disney movie's Inside out , wherein the lead character is a kid named , Riley, and with her are her Joy, Sadness , Fear , Anger and Disgust emotions, you'll be familiar with this video. In that video you just watched Joy realized that Riley needs Sadness to be happy , That her family and friends wuld comfort her because they can see their sad


So what's my point on including that video clip onmy post? . Well, it's simple as telling you that sadness can give us good things bringing us to good situations. Let me show you some of the possibilities others can experience or might have experience already.


✓ It motivates us

When you're feeling sad , the only other way is for you to make yourself happy. You will be eager to do things that will bring your happiness back


✓It will make you realize how lucky you are

Sometimes , when we are feeling down and crying about our life . We tend to throw questions like, why me? why is this happening? and all other doubtful questions, but in the end , you'll come to realize that there more people suffering and in pain more than you are right now, making you feel lucky of your status.


It increase empathy

The feeling of sadness will let and make us empathize with people around us. You'll have a better understanding of what their going through, because you exactly know how it feels . It's like you already have imagined yourself being on someone else's shoes


It's bringing better communication

But if course, when you are feeling sad, you have this tendency to call your closest friends or family members to share what you're going through or to have someone comfort you. It makes your relationship with them grow more


According to Joseph Paul Forgas, Ph.D., sadness reduces two key judgement biases that affect how we view people. The Fundamental Attribution Error: This is the tendency to believe that people are intentional when they make mistakes or say something wrong. When you’re sad, you’re less likely to think the worst of people.
The Halo Effect: On the opposite end of the spectrum, people also believe that certain people–whether it’s because they’re attractive, successful, or family members–can do no wrong. Sadness gives you a less biased view of people so you also don’t exaggerate their goodness.source


And i wanna also give some simple personal tips for you not to be sad always.


•Be grateful for what you have

•Always look on the brighter side of a negative thing

•Think happy thoughts ,if you can make a list and read it repetitively, then go!

•Stay with people whi makes your heart happy

•Don't make life too complicated , just live it simple and enjoy


Hey guys, I am not telling you to be sad , instead , i am just trying to let you see the beauty of sadness. That as humans , it's a normal emotion that we can feel. Sometimes we need to be sad for us to know that we are blessed for whatever is happening with our lives ,making us more motivated to be better everyday and to have that happiness everyone wants to have.




much love,

This is a very productive way to approach sadness :) I find the point: sadness as a road towards motivation a particularly important one. I suppose that the secret is in not victimizing ourselves when we feel sad. It think that it is when victimization occurs that we get stuck.
