This is so true, can positive and negative emotions just be two facets of the same coin? Like sadness and happiness, sometimes I feel like if I am deeply happy it touches same surface as when I am deeply sad. I am curious to hear your thoughts?

@Jeromy Hrabovecky I did not realize that you could approach an emotion from this perspective, I assume observing feeling an emotion is challenging since one would have to do post-factum, especially if I am consumed with it in the moment. For the rest of actions on emotions I can acknowledge their place.

@Jeromy Hrabovecky thinking about, "What" also seems to me a more difficult question than "How". Thinking about I realize "What" seems like at first is not "What" after having some reflection. Is that because I am quick to judge "What"?

I would say combination of optimism & love has impacted my life in ways I could have never imagined. Optimism allowed to escape Azerbaijan where I always felt like a foreigner. While love made me do things I would not anticipate, such as moving countries & diving into the unknown for sake of love. In difficult times optimism helps me move forward so I always feel like whatever negative we are experiencing, in context of time & space its just a second and will pass away and better days are ahead of me.
