Today is a day unlike any in the history of the world. We are existing at a moment that has never taken place before. In these moments we breathe, and think, and love, we exhale the past filled with the air of anxiety, doubt, and confliction.
Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a perfect world? Would we know it was perfect if there was nothing to compare? I’m thinking out loud at the moment. I’m not certain how much of this will make it to my clicking on publish, but I like to write out loud. It’s a great time to exist.
One of the first articles I ever shared was about how not to allow others to control you. People took from that, that you shouldn’t let people keep you from your dreams. That’s true on one level. Then there is the internal happiness. One emphasis I’ve had on my blog for quite some time is positivity. With life constantly bombarding us daily with negativity at every turn, especially the media, it’s nice to have a circle of the world that brings you positive influences.
I’ve been fortunate to have a great blog family and group of followers who encourage what I do, support my efforts, even when they come up short of my norm. We all need that. I think if we don’t we end up coloring our world with negativity at every turn.
Taking my deep breaths as one accomplishment has occurred and I set my eyes on the next, I let go of things.
That’s wrong. Letting go is a negative way of looking at things. It’s a form of giving up. Instead of Let It Go, think to “Hold on.”
Hold on to what is important.
Hold on to what you love.
Hold on to what gives you joy.
To what do you hold on?

Except if you keep getting bombarded by negative expression, then walk away. It’s like when you are out in the world, don’t beg or hang on too long because other things can become more important. Know when to fold em. Even if it brings a smile to your face or lightens your heart on some level, the world is so cruel. Sometimes I just hate it but not myself. Then you sleep and start a new day, just like that break it. No loss as we don’t own things anyway, especially love, friendship or items. Think dead, and done.

I often write out loud. It’s a great way to write, even if you do get odd looks because it looks as if you’re talking to yourself. Keep doing it.😀

After a certain age, my view is that every day that I wake up, that’s a positive start.

I like the positive spin on that. I really do like to focus on the positive but it’s a long process to change a lifetime habit of looking at the negatives.

Nice way to look at this Ron. It is too easy to see all that we need to let go of instead of what preciousness we have to hold on to. I also enjoyed the video…a great laugh!
