Just a quick thought for today. I think, speak, and preach a lot about the power of positive thinking and visualization. I do believe some people are turned off by these sentiments because they sound too new age, too hippy-dippy.
Today it occurred to me, it's really the power of affirmative thought that brings the action -- it doesn't necessarily have to be positive. Case in point - yesterday I had a gut instinct that what at first seemed like a dream come true was really a nightmare in hiding. My friend even told me he could "hear the anxiety in my voice" as we chatted over this dilemma on the phone. Finally, near the end of the conversation, I told him I wished that the opportunity would just get taken away from me so I wouldn't have to say yes or no, and, lo and behold, that's exactly what happened.
It was a good lesson in affirmative action -- being positive doesn't mean you are walking through life every day humming Kum By Ya with a perma-smile on your face, it means you are making assured decisions, you are sure about your course of thought, and you are positive that is the direction you want to take.
Or in this case, not to take.
