"In life, the only difference
between stumbling blocks
and stepping stones is how
you choose to use them."
muses from a mystic
One of my goals for this year
is to be and/or become more
positive. So, I read and collect
memes such as the one above.
Obviously, some are simply
ludicrous whilst others remind
us of time worn wisdom.
Positivity is indeed important.
Still, this doesn't mean we
should put on blinders to the
realities of the life we live in.
War will not diminish because
we have a positive attitude.
Hunger, famine, floods . . . all
part of reality. I'm trying to suss
out what we and our positivity
can actually do to make a
difference.
I fear we are oft overwhelmed
by the horrors of life and thus
do naught. Obviously, this is
not the answer.
If each of us would strive and
commit, to making the space
around us a better place . . .
we would have overlapping
circles of a better place to be.
Depending on age, means and
other factors, some circles will
be small and others larger. But,
we have to start somewhere. I
want to commit to making the
circle in which I live, a better
place to be.
Methinks 'twould require both
consciousness and constancy.
Let's pay attention and act!!!
