Positive or Negative?

January 2021

“You be, YOU” is more positive than negative. The use of “You be, YOU 😊” in an online forum may seem as if you are hurling an insult at someone: YOU are not. The goal is to find what makes YOU happy and to pursue Happiness without regard to the negative triggers that surround YOU. Therefore, “You be, YOU 😊” is about taking control of YOUR life and shedding the negativity around YOU to achieve a neutral or mostly positive existence.

To prove the phrase is mostly positive. Here is an example of where “You be, YOU 😊” may be used to boost someone’s spirit.

A person seems to have quite a bit of negativity surrounding them. Their online posts are mostly negative, they complain often, they just seem to be having a bad day, week, month, year, etc. “You be, YOU 😊” may be directed at this person in order for them to shed the negativity that surrounds them and for THEM to focus on being THEMSELVES. They should find what makes THEM happy and pursue Happiness without regard to the negative triggers that surround THEM.

Of course, the phrase is most often used to boost YOUR OWN spirit by mentally volleying the triggering negativity back to the source. In some ways, the above use of “You be, YOU 😊” has a dual effect: (1) Hopefully, it will boost the spirit of the individual in which it is directed; and, (2) It will boost YOUR spirit by not allowing YOU to succumb to their negative energy and it will also boost YOUR spirit because YOU may have helped another take a step toward Happiness.

You be, YOU 😊. Find Your Happiness and Smile. Ultimately, the Positive or Negative connotation is up to YOU.
