Life-5

Life grows in the crags, the rocky places, the desolate. Life is determined to live!

Even in the dark, mushrooms grow, the depths of the sea have fish with their own light bulbs that live, survive and make more life way down there….6-7 miles deep, as high as a mountain is tall.

God makes life, man makes death…what is the problem?

Man doesn’t think he can live or make things better so he creates what he is familiar with…despair, defeat, destruction.

But, there is a lightbulb which is always left on for us to see through the darkness of life if we look. Life wants to grow and thrive anywhere it is allowed. Weeds are the first to break up dry hard ground so better plants can grow. Moss and ferns take root in craggy walls and slippery slopes gradually breaking down the clefts with their roots to make dirt for more life to grow and survive.

Life is all about beauty and meaning and purpose and making more life wherever we are. That’s because God is life and makes and gives life all over. That’s why we can breathe and walk and see and enjoy our gorgeous earth.

To try and stop life, however mankind may try… is to thwart God and He cannot be thwarted. He is for us, He is for life. He is for you! and your life!!!

Just stop focusing on the death and destruction being loud-mouthed all over the airwaves and begin to focus on how you can start and continue bringing life to your area, your rocky crag, your below sea-level domicile, your parched ground and see things begin to grow and change.

You can be a catalyst for life right where you are!

How can I be a life-bringer today?

Let’s keep the lightbulbs of life glowing so others can find their way with us.

Life-4

The other day we mentioned the commonality of negative talk. What if instead we bond in commonality with positive talk.

Basically, we all want to belong, we like to be in agreement with others; what if we use positive, helpful, good ideas and plans to be our common ground. This gives us something to build instead of tear down.

We are made to think and create and build. When we do we feel better. There is a satisfaction that cannot be attained any other way than by accomplishing something worthwhile…not only in the building, but later looking back and remembering the process and progress as we built whatever it was.  This building can be a relationship, a business, a project, an idea… Let your mind dream up whatever it wants to that can be developed to further the good of you, of humanity, of the world.

We want the freedom to think our own thoughts and do what we are inclined to instead of being told what we should like and do. We seek that personal empowerment. There is plenty of space for each person to have their own ways and means for advancing life for their and another’s good.

The first step is believing you can. Then that you are able. Then talk about it and begin.

It all starts with a positive idea mixed with other people thinking in common to produce something good and perhaps uncommon!

Let the good talk flow….

Life-3

Whose side are you on? That question is enough to make you lose your happiness and peace.

So many are clamoring for you to pick a side, to join in with them, to get on a (their) bandwagon. I have not been called to solve the worlds problems. There are tooooo many. That’s why we have a God and that’s why he says bring all your problems, concerns and worries to him.

To live, to really live, I have to fill my mind with good and beautiful and helpful thoughts. After I get me in line, then I can share the good and beautiful and be helpful to others.

Remember, we magnify what we think about, we magnify what we talk about. We have a wonderful country, wonderful minds, strong bodies…let’s see what we can do to increase these qualities.

If I devote my time, mind and eyes to be on the lookout for doing good, improving myself, taking good care of me…then I will see opportunities (there will be plenty) to help improve others lives so they can live better too.

I am all for solving problems, but some (most) problems are not mine to solve and that is when we get frustrated…trying to solve what is not in our power to work out.

Say what you will, but today, I’m choosing to live my life well. I will look for and advance goodness and beauty, I will keep myself at peace and not allow the clamor of others to get me off path. Then I know I will bring my best self to be an example and help others find peace in their world.

Let’s advance towards better living together today!
