Do Not Despise the Past

Jennifred Jones

Do not despise the past, your past or any past!

Without the past there would be no present and certainly no future!

Many, many things in the past have been upsetting, grievous or seemingly unfair. Many have been downright awful or even evil. But it happened and it cannot be eradicated. Burning and destroying things and people and people’s reputations will not compensate for what happened in the past. We must decide to learn from it and create or recreate a better today and tomorrow. And it starts with us on an individual basis.

Here again comes the phrase, ‘overcome evil with good’. This is how individuals on a personal level can begin. We must become builders of good – behavior, morals, conduct, charity, relationships, ideas of how to improve our landscape whether on the home front or at work or down the street, in our local government etc. etc. etc.

As we become bearers of truth – shining light on what is good and wholesome (what does that word mean?) we will shine light on the dark ways, see them for what they were, learn from them and continue building from the past the way to a better future.

Our Need to Create

Jennifred Jones

Everyone wants to create something. We want to make something. It’s in our DNA!

Yes, we all have the need to create!

What are we creating? What am I making today…right now?

Am I creating good or creating trouble? I don’t mean necessarily creating bad things, but are the actions and words of my life making it harder for other people to live their life?

Am I an impediment by my actions, thoughts, words…or am I helping pave the way for others to excel.

Let me be a stepping stone up, not a stumbling block down.

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….
