     Here is a short story about having a positive philosophy. It's helped me be a better person and enjoy life much more daily.

PHOTO: That's Rocky. He is a model cat who loves many people, including his brother (from another mother), Balboa.

 It's funny how some people become more like we

envision them to be. For example, if I wake up thinking

my wife is an angel and focus on what good things she

has done for me in the past, she usually acts like an

angel the rest of the day. I could also just as easily

focus on the things she did not do for me and think of

her as a negative person. If I chose this road then

somehow she will act in a much more negative manner

the rest of the day. So I have learned that how my mind

chooses to focus about a person's personality

can make or ruin my day.

 

It's hard for a person to be nasty to you when you start

complimenting them about their looks, their talents, or

the way they dress etc.  On the other hand, if you

chose to focus of their negative traits you just may get

that person angry or resentful and a whole different

person comes out of the same shell.

 

 

 

 

 

Try this out and see if it makes a positive diffence in your day.

True John! Whatever we project with our thoughts, be positive seems to follow us. We hold the power of life and death in our tongue and we must watch everything we interpret and go to the living Word where all of life's solutions are all there! Thanks deeply brother-

Yes, indeed, John! It's all in how we choose to react. Your words hold a lot of wisdom, you smart man!

Love ya!

Your article does make a lot of sense. Our perspective on life generally can make our interactions with other people go smoothly or badly. However, I've known individuals in my life, and I can name three offhand, who tended to be quite abrasive, and insulting when they encountered people, both friends and strangers. Yet somehow, those insults turned into positive connections and these individuals usually turned out to be the life of the party because of the way they broke the ice.

This morning while debating whether or not to remove a stump, it revived again in my partner, her anger about shoots from the same old tree roots coming up through our front deck. She flew off the handle and said she didn't have time to deal with all of that when I suggested she just cut off the shoots so they would stop growing eventually. Finally, she had to show me. We went out on the deck where five or six leaves were sticking up through the cracks. She reached down got a hold of them and pulled. Lo and behold, like a weed, about a 12 inch length of tree shoot pulled off and up easily. Job done. And of all that anger and worry was gone. Sometimes it's the small things that can turn into big things. Mountains out of mole hills. Still have to decide whether I'm going to remove that stump or leave it sit there and deteriorate over the next 30 years. At least she could put a pot of flowers on top she has plenty of pots of flowers.
