Quote Of The Day By Woody Harrelson: 'You Don't Sit And Look At Your Own Life And Think About The Things You Are Upset About. For Me, I Might...'
Woody Harrelson has a fresh perspective about staying positive.
Woody Harrelson, the actor known for his versatile roles in film and television, recently shared a quote that highlights his approach to dealing with life's challenges. Speaking in a 2018 interview with The Talks, Harrelson suggested that rather than fixating on what makes us upset, we should engage in activities that distract us.
For instance, Harrelson mentioned that he might "just binge watch some show and then by the time I have watched four episodes, I am not even thinking about whatever it was that got me upset before..."
Harrelson's advice comes from his 2018 interview with The Talks, where he was discussing how he maintains his optimism in the face of hardships. He explained that he avoids being cynical, a trait that he believes is also shared by his co-star Matthew McConaughey. Harrelson further elaborated on his method of combating negativity by not dwelling on it.
He admitted that he "tricks" himself out of any negative or depressive moments, a sentiment that might appear to some as escapism. However, Harrelson framed it as a way to maintain a positive outlook, stating, "I think there is a lot to be said for an optimistic viewpoint — just to be positive, that s what helps." While Harrelson acknowledges that ignoring negativity might not be productive for everyone, he views it as a helpful strategy to distract himself from the negative.
