Worry is the most unproductive state of human existence...(Author: Me)

No one owes you anything. You owe everything to yourself...(Author: Me)

Dear Marilyn!

I complement your "Positive Thoughts” with a positive poem

 

Life

Do you ever wonder?

what life is really about

Birth, love, raising children,

then death, was there any doubt

Some in-betweens we have forgotten,

that make it all worthwhile

Like sharing precious moments,

with someone who can make you smile

We only comprehend what is before us,

never trying to look beyond

And always looking for that special person,

to complete the human bond

Like everything, we are made of molecules,

electrical beings we are

So maybe we should look within ourselves,

and not a shining star

Pain, frustration, and disappointments,

are part of life, and will always be there

But if one can say they love them self,

they will always have someone who cares

Nobody knows the answer to life,

it's a very good question at best

So maybe it should be thought of,

as thee Almighty's ultimate test

We all one time or another,

must conclude on which highway to take

And when we come to the crossroads,

it will be a decision we all have to make

So be happy with what life has already given you,

another road could have been a lot worse

And if you do not believe this to be true,

then seriously think about it after this verse.

Thank you Marilyn for these positive words to live by. Sometimes it is easier said then done. But the more we focus on the positive, the better our days ahead are for us. If we dwell on the bad we stay in the bad.
Have a great evening

Hello Marilyn,

We should always have hope and especially when the going gets tough.
Greeks have a saying " Hope is the sat thing to die "

Hello all,

there are a lot of good ways posted here to keep a positive attitude. Thank you all for sharing. I try to keep a positive attitude, but negative thoughts try to bring me down sometimes.

One positive thought I want to share, one that really helps me but sometimes I forget.

Positive thought: Let go, let god.

To those of you who are not religious, I hope I don't offend you with this.

When I start getting egotistical and try to do everything my way, I seem  to just spin my wheels and get nowhere. When I remember and think: Let go, let god I seem to do better. My success all seems to depend on him.
