It's Thanksgiving, a time to be grateful for all the good things happening in our lives. But even now, there are literally tens of thousands of blogs, media outlets, and politicians spouting a constant stream of negative predictions and horrific expectations. In many of my seminars over thirty years, I have talked about the little negative voice we all have inside our heads--I call him Stanley--the voice Buddhists call "Monkey Mind." The voice that chatters away, telling us why we can't, shouldn't, and mustn't be hopeful and optimistic. The only way I have found to take away Stanley's power to hold us back: drown out his voice in a crowd of positive voices. This has to be a positive decision followed by positive action.
For example,there are many websites to be found that focus on good things. One of these is:
another is:
and of course there is this blog, and my other blog,
focused on prosperity consciousness and positive self-programming:
So let's get something straight:
If you believe life is a mess, with little hope for the human species, it has more to do with the crap you are paying attention to than reality.
And if you complain about the glass being half empty after drinking half the water and enjoying every drop, you're an idiot.
Feel free to share the above two sentences. I know they don't apply to any of my spiritually evolved, brilliant, and inspired regular readers.
