Because life is brief and we should be living in the present. If you're looking to install changes to the future by planting the seed now, you're essentially gambling on the hope that your time now will be valued tenfold later.

The only reliable constant is what you do for yourself now. Maybe your future will benefit from your choices but that's not something for you to be concerned about. If you do things right right now then that's how you win.

The most empathetic people, the people who have lived and can understand your pain, don't tell you to turn your pain into a positive.

That's why toxic positivity is so crap. It's always maintained by sheltered young people who cannot truly understand this deep pain. I would be toxic positive too if I had a trust fund and believe everything I read on LinkedIn.
