Eliminating the negative

We all feel negative sometimes, think about how many of these are related to
- things not going quite as planned
- stuff happening that is out of our control
- being unfairly criticized about something
- feeling scared about the future
- others being negative around us, seeing the down side..

the interesting thing is that we all have the opportunity to see things exactly as we wish. It is our choice. There really is no excuse to be negative. Turning the negative into positive is simple, if you can sit back and look at things in a different light. Everything happens for a reason...and there is nothing wrong with that, is there..

Practising tolerance helps too, as sometimes people will be shifting from one state of mind to another - rather than being negative, that can sometimes be the impression, rather than the reality..

Those decisions keep us moving, either in the same direction or in another. Like travelling along a road, we sometimes know our way, we recognise the road - it's a well travelled road as they say - we know where we are going because we have been there before. At other times we see signposts and respond to what they are telling us - we react to them and alter our direction based on what they say. At other times, we register signposts to give us confidence that we are on the right track, we experience 'deja vu' or coincidences we just get that intuitive feeling that we are moving in exactly the right direction. I think this simple little topic is going into my book. Have a gre...

The value of time

This is a quote by Thomas Oxley in November 1830, from a book on Planispheres and astronomy. Oxley was a reknowned pioneer and spent a lifetime writing his book. Humanity's passion for saving time dates back centuries.. more recently, in the 1970's the internet and PCs were heralded as a means of saving us time and allowing us all to work less and accomplish more - has new technology lived up to this expectation? We certainly accomplish a lot more, although do we work less? If not, is it because in reality we all live to work?
