Many of us today have bought into the school of positive thinking as the answer to our problems. Positive thinking is for sure desired over negative thinking. Per Marcus Aurelius, "Our life is what our thoughts make it." I believe that the problem is we are taught in that school that by our thoughts we can will mud into money...or something into nothing, as needed.
No. According to me, true positive thinking is accepting as irresistible whatever our mind's eyes are perceiving...and giving thanks to God for it just as it is appearing.
My life improved dramatically when I discovered (accepted really) "love and laugh" as my life's directions. Those three words, usable for every situation in life, if followed can and will change our life for the better. Simply love and laugh. Which boils down to: Resist nothing that comes to us and laugh at our struggle to let it be.
My reasoning mind has slung darts, arrows and knives at my every attempt to accept that premise, but since I know that my ego Lucy is the driver of that well-padded limousine, I keep smiling as I turn to God in thanks.
I have never had mud turned into money but I have found peace in the moment. Staying in that non-resistant place has, can and will stretch that peace in the moment into a lifetime of positive thinking, i.e., peace of mind. And there it is...the pearl beyond price.
Thank you.
