Bottoms Up

A Lady of wealth and abundance gets together for coffee with an old friend, this is what was said.

Lady:  "Oh my house, my house there is such terrible lighting in there.  I can hardly ever see, the lights are so dim.  It really tends to hurt my eyes".

     To this her friend smiled and said.

"Oh I would give anything for a home to call my own, as I use the glow of the Sun to see in the day and the light of the moon to see at night".

     The lady did not pay attention and said.

"Oh I made this tuna casserole yesterday and it did not turn out right, I was so disappointed with it that I ended up throwing it out in the trash".

     To this her friend smiled and said.

"It sounds so tasty, I would give anything for a hot meal.  I have to search high and low for any amount of food and drink."

     The lady did not pay much attention and said.

"My gardener is the worst, my lawn is always in shambles, my garden is an embarrassment, I don't know what to do with her."

     To this her friend smiled and said.

"My flowers are of the wild variation, they grow far and wide, although they are not really mine, but mine to see.  I would do anything for a garden of my own."

     The lady did not pay much attention and said.

"Oh don't get me started on Television, there is nothing worth watching on TV these days."

     To this her friend smiled and said.

"Oh I don't really watch any Television, my entertainment is watching the birds fly over head, watching the Sun rise and set, watching the clouds and the trees blowing in the wind and the crashing of the Lake at the shore.

     The lady did not pay much attention and said.

"Oh these shoes are so old, I don't even know why I still have them or why I even wear them".

     To this her friend smiled and said.

"I have only one pair of shoes and yes they are old too."

     The lady did not pay attention and said.

"My hydro bill was through the roof, these hydro companies are making a killing off of us.

     To this her friend smiled and said.

"I have not had any bills to pay in many years, my warmth comes from the leaves on the ground, the trees that surround me, the Earth from the days Sun, The warm breezes on warm days, when it is cold I bundle up and build a fire, I wrap myself in my blanket.

     The lady did not pay attention and said.

"Oh I wish I knew someone who needed a mattress, mine is so warn, it's too floppy and old, I can never get a good nights sleep"

     To this her friend smiled and said.

"I am sure I can use your beat up old mattress.

     The lady did not pay attention, then she said.

"We will have to do this again, I will pay for our drinks this time, you can pay next time."

     To this her friend smiled.

   

A Positive Equation

A positive frame of mind is a learned trait, as to is a negative frame of mind.  We are born with the sense of all curiosities in life.  We ask questions, we look at the world around us in delight, we begin to make friends and steer our course in life.  When we ask questions we listen to the answers of our parents, then family, and peers.  Then there comes a time to make our own decisions, to form answers and to draw on our own conclusions.  The mind is a wonderful thing, it is a muscle that needs tender workings in all aspects and in all capacities.  It is a great thing to work and rework your mind, learning and relearning.  What goes in, comes out.  It forms opinions and has unique thoughts, it stretches also onto others where what you say will penetrate into the mind of all who draw near. Your mind can reminisce about days long gone, and holds tight to the best memories in your life.  It makes decisions daily.  When you are able to "choose" what goes in and are taking in only the positive, and then breathing out that positive is a case in learning.

It is an equation.  Having a good sense of math skills is much like being a positive being.  Learning math whether it was easy for you or not, is just as difficult as learning to become positive.  It is a daily practice and the more you do practice it the easier it becomes.  The equation is simple, but is also tested and re-tested in order for you to come up with the proper formation and as well, the most correct answer for a happy life.  Sometimes, like math, you make a mistake where the answer does not seem to be correct.  Quickly, we go over that question, until the final answer is shown to us using that tested formula.  We re-worked that question, until we got to our answer.  The positivity in our lives is everywhere, it can be seen easily.  As soon as we think, feel and act in a positive manner-the simpler our lives become.  The simpler our families lives become, the happier we are and then it radiates outwardly.  It is a test in skills of humanity and compassion, love and abundance, faith and free will.  Sometimes though, we slip up, where it is not as simple as 1+1=2  or 2+2=4.  Sometimes we step away from ourselves and come up with a conclusion that does not fit, it just does not sit well.  We say something ill hearted, we scowl at something because we seem to be in a bad mood.  Then we start anew and re-work the equation, using the formula of Thinking Positive, Feeling Positive and Behaving in a positive light.  Then yes, we past-and will be retested in due time.

Positivity, is contagious and can be spread in rapid amounts of growth.  The old saying; if you cant say anything nice don't say it at all-can be used fabulously in this formula.  It is a choice and I would say a must in order to live a vibrant and healthy minded life.  Just like using your math skills is a daily occurance at the grocery store or when filling up on gas.  So to is using your positivity skills.  It will reflect on your home, who you accompany yourself with, and everyone who ever crosses your path.  Then once the formula is mastered you become a radiant light of beauty that can be seen vividly.  If your in a rotten mood which we all get into feelings of a rut sometimes, reflect on the beauty all around you, the little things, the big things and try to re-evaluate your thoughts.  Your thoughts are the threshold to a fruitful of happiness. 

Smile, even through the pain, cry through the pain, feel the pain, love the pain then say thank you, you can leave now and move on and away from the pain as you drop it by your side leaving it behind, to never to hurt you again.  As harbouring this pain, can unleash a creature that can be stirred into a tyrant of trouble.  I had this happen a few times, then when nothing was left-all I could do was look in the mirror as I was the ONLY one left.  The pain and anger caused so much negativity that everyone HAD to walk away.  I had to learn to let go of many traumas, drama's and mud puddles, I had to look within, knowing that holding on to the negativity was cause for upset in others-and I was going nowhere.  I had to re-evaluate, re-focus, and re-vamp my whole attitude in to a Positive Equation.
