YES, I can

I have been observing how much being positive and optimistic is so very important. In fact, it is more than important, it is necessary to be able to have a good life.
I realise now the sharp contrast between it and thinking negatively.
When you feel good, you can think in a way that frees up so much. When you are negative, you clog up your vision.

The Barack Obama win has done something to me, where I now find myself more mindful of the way that I think and project myself. I am seeing the value of having a goal and going after it. I wake up every day, and incrementally, I see myself moving forward positively.
I was telling my mother a few days ago that I want us to practice every day to see and think the way we want to live and not focus on anything otherwise.
The reason that I am suggesting this, is because, when I think this way, I feel so liberated. When I choose to not take part in negative speculation, I feel as though I am breaking the old molds that life as it was has perpetuated.
Only a few days ago, I saw how distructive it is to worry about money, when what you do in the present is worry for the future that has not been created as yet.
I know that I do not want my child growing up, thniking that her mind is a prison and her life can only go according to limitations set by her surroundings.
Tonight is was brought home again to me, when a friend told me about three people I know who are doing very well on mind alone. These people have very little to show for their success other than pure drive, and that is very admirable indeed.
It is a reminder to nurture your dream.
