So what's the big answer, the big truth? I am feeling a bit prolific right now. Earlier today, I wrote about the world being a big "natural" machine, a processing plant and that we were the rocks and our pain and suffering is the gravel and water polishing us up smooth and shiny. I talked about the negative side of life and briefly mentioned the positive. I will get to that part again.
What are we being polished for is the next question? So I was thinking about this. I think that earth being the natural processing plant is prepping us for our next life, whether you believe in heaven or hell or reincarnation, you have to admit that there IS a next level or step to life. Something or someone lived before us and died so we could have this life we're living. We live off the effort and energy and momentum of THEIR lives....... So how do we enjoy their gift?
Some, by drinking down a 12 pack of cold ones, followed by a carton of smokes and shooting up the next greatest drug of choice? Oh how grateful us humans are.....Leather shoes, plush soft furs and fried chicken and dead soldiers are only a tragedy it seems by how we act. How would YOU show their birth and death meant something? If we can forgive what's been done to us, maybe we can forgive what we done to others?
We need to leave our sad luck stories behind and stop playing the victims or villains, only then can we "maybe" rescue the world from it's state of disarray and chaos. But, lets face it. We still sit here on our pity potty's, waiting to be saved, while we are playing the victims, hoping to be discovered while we are suffering. We are stupid fools sometimes.
So, I am saying, and this is just my theory, is that once we leave our earthen bodies, we go onto a higher level of being, until we are perfect. Humans are far from perfect, but that is why we have the pain and suffering, to teach us and cleanse us. To get us ready for the next life, or plane or level or existence. We are going through a purification process. Or maybe we just like to suffer? Maybe suffering and misery are the whole point in life. It makes us feel alive. We feel something..... we have emotion.... if we can take that energy and generate a more positive spin on it, maybe we can love more, have less pain and suffering and truly be happy? So starting today, I think we should all be Anti-Negative Superhero's? I mean we all got a lot going on in our lives right now, especially with Christmas coming up. Let's try to step out of our comfort zones and do something nice for others. I think I'm a fairly positive person on MOST days. I also believe that it's my positivity that led me to where I am at this point in my life. Being positive doesn't mean plastering on a fake smile and living in denial that everything is A-OK all the time. That is why I blog about the shit I blog about, to get it off my chest or otherwise, I'd go crazy. But being positive means different things to different people.
So, let's focus on WHAT WE GOT and NOT WHAT WE DON'T!!! Granted there is a lot of stuff that would be nice to have. When we focus on what we don't have we feel deficient and that maybe we are losing out in some way. Then we start to concur. This can generate feelings of abundance despite what you think you are lacking.
BE GRATEFUL! This kind of ties in with the focusing on what you have. If you can express gratitude for everything you have and all that is good in your life you leave little room for negativity or bad thoughts. Since I've been practicing this, I'm a lot more patient with everyone around me., my perspective has changed and I'm actually a little less stressed. (except for today and the worrying about my surgery tomorrow) When you focus on what matters, what REALLY matters, so much of the other bullshit we fret about melts away. It works, my friends.
DON'T DWELL ON THE PAST OR CLING TO THE FUTURE!! Well, the past has already happened and the future may never come. If you dwell on the mistakes and missed opportunities from the past you probably find you beat yourself up a bit to hard over it. If you are stuck deep into the past, you likely feel bad about where you are at right now, longing for the way things used to be. The thing with the past is that it is OVER, it's DONE, and there is NO CHANGING it no matter how hard you try. Hindsight is always 20/20. Just learn!!! But clinging to the future is just as bad. It really and truly may never happen. The more attached we are to that dream the more devastated we will be if it doesn't happen. Listen to the song: "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw. It changed my life. I cry when I hear it.
SPEAK ABOUT OTHERS AS IF THEY WERE IN FRONT OF YOU!!!! Call it what you want; gossiping, bad mouthing, slander, etc, it doesn't make you feel good and it's definitely not conducive to being a positive person. It always makes me wonder what people are saying about me when I am not around if they talk bad about people in front of me. A benefit of practicing this, apart from just being more positive, is you never have to worry about what you've said getting back to someone, even if it does it doesn't matter because you can stand behind what you said if said to the person's face!!!!
LIGHTEN UP!!!! Certain topics, issues, and events are serious but not everything is, so LIGHTEN THE FUCK UP!!!!! Have fun and embrace your inner child. I am the biggest, "childest" 38 year old person out there because if I learned anything in the bible, Jesus said we have to become like little children to get into heaven but it also has it's OTHER advantages. You feel young at heart, are more happy, you care less about the things that don't matter and care more for the ones that do. Having fun, laughing, smiling and enjoying life does wonders for your positivity. Plus we would be doing the people who came before us justice for laying their lives open for us, their hard work and dedication so that we may benefit from our life, and this world. Think of what our parents and grandparents always wanted for us. What do we want for our children, grandchildren? So, lets stop and think that it's not always about us!!!! Learn to step out of that comfort zone and LIVE!!! The world is a much better place with you, me and everyone in it!!!!! This is how I want to be remembered. Tomorrow I am going under the knife and if people just take a little bit about what I am trying to convey to you, you will have your big answer. Peace!!!
