Harvey Mackey, columnist, addresses the subject of “turning adversity to advantage with right attitude”. “In life (he goes on to say) things happen to us, but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.” (suggesting why, from time to time, I feel need to say ‘May the force be within you and me.’
Whenever I feel my spirit’s positively focused force field begin to sag under a heavy weight, the intuitive portion of my intelligence emerges (ever more naturally, over time) so as to offer the dark side of my nature another pep talk in hopes of maintaining a realistic, rather than pessimistic, well balanced outlook leaning toward optimism concerning every unknown with which the fickle finger of fate may influence the direction of my choices as the immediacy of my future, which is always a mystery, continues to unfold ...
BTW—My horoscope—no kidding—today:
Silence will be the social skill you’ll find most useful, right now
Gotta love it when a natural sense of intuition is validated as being proactively on target (rather than discovering that my current need of more solitude than usual is based in a defensive attitude, which has erected a wall of denial behind which a deeper truth is being held captive within a mental block that causes my perception of my self worth to remain stuck within a negatively distorted stage of being, as had proved true in times past.). In short, I’m not giving myself a hard time, struggling with inner conflict while loved ones are doing their heartfelt best to take good care of me during this trying time.

Deeper truth:
Need I say that giving myself pep talks encouraging my spirit to focus on the positive, during trying times, is necessary, because this revolting development really sucks?
My spirit is like my cell phone in that both need to be plugged into a powerful positively focused energy source in order for their connective signals to remain strong, and just as we’d feel lost if our cell phones were not juiced up on a regular basis, the same reasoning holds true of a spirit in need of re-juicing with positive energy, too. Otherwise, a defensive stance of negativity may distort our perceptions, and once a negativity focused mindset reigns supreme, clarity grows so fuzzy that we may forget to offer our loved ones the benefit of the doubt, most especially when certain aspects of life get to feeling so dark that our connection to clarity is no where to be seen.
As tension is a by product of fear and anger, my family’s well practiced training calls forth our Line of Self Control, during trying times, saving all of us from biting off each other’s heads whenever fate drops a smoking hot mountain into our laps, which threatens to release molten lava bound to harden into self protective shells, which would cover the depths of our love for one another with angst at times when smooth sailing transforms, unexpectedly, into uncharted rapids, directly ahead. And thus am I deeply appreciative of how naturally our well practiced lines of self control protect our love for each other from falling overboard until emotional rapids have passed and calm waters are within our collective reach, once again.
Considering today’s train of thought, would you like to take an educated guess at what keeps emotional rapids within from bursting out loud, drowning our family’s mutually supportive, well balanced outlook, which persists realistically from moment to moment while each of us looks beyond fear and anger toward a peaceful tomorrow?
If you guessed love, your processor is on its way to understanding that which empowers our family to hold itself together, but due to human nature being two sided, love does not stand alone to defeat negativity from seeping in, so please offer your processor time to percolate, over night, and we’ll see what pops out of your noggin upon arising feeling refreshed, tomorrow ...
