My thoughts in a nutshell....

it boils down to choices... and sometimes we don't see that we have choices...

Been missing you Wish... and always so grateful to have you here when you can be...

The same goes for anyone who participates in the dialogue (even your thanks is valuable!) ... we all have an opportunity to learn!

Anyways, moods like mistilis do get in the way. I realized this today when I was a bit cranky but then got to work and have been surprisingly "happy" today. Which is a bit new for me and I can't help but wonder how long it will last. And then there are days when I roll out of bed miserable. And how can you train yourself to be in a better mood? How can you change your thoughts to be more positive? How can you change YOURSELF if you are more of a negative thinking person? Thought modifying perhaps, thought regulating, thought changing -all so very hard. What to do.... especially since our days and moods may be biological or determined by chance (or is it, I did get a good nights rest)....

So does this mood/positive thinking effect the outcome and rest of our day - as the Secret suggests. Will my day today be better, more beneficial, more exceptional because my mood is helping me get things done, not scaring away others, "attracting" good things my way? Or is this rubbish?

All I know for certain is to keep hope alive. So to me... today will be a good day. :)

I can only hope you all have such a good day too, especially tied. :hug:

I got this from a dear friend and had to share it with you all...

HANDBOOK 2011

7. Read more books than you did in 2010.
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day
9. Sleep for 7 hours.

Personality:

I dunno. I try not to get caught up too much in ideas that make profits. That's profits, not prophets. I tend to learn more from prophets. ;)

I believe the so-called secret is living this life. I can't see how it can be the same for everyone. We are all on different paths and all affected by different experiences, and we all have different personalities, which obviously will affect how we travel and which direction. I certainly believe that positive thinking can get us through an awful lot, but there's also our genetic makeup and our environment.

Live your life, Wish. You, I know, have dealt with so much in your early years, as did I. Believe me... that is your "secret". You will one day understand that. Believe in yourself. *heart

Yep, living the life is the secret...

although I haven't read or listened to or seen the secret, I've heard about it...

and this is what I've learned - it is a gift to be able to write what we have learned.. to write it in a way so that you can reach and perhaps help someone who is walking a parallel path...

telling our stories is inspiring to others...
and healing to ourselves...

I think this forum is a "secret" :grouphug:
