The Sunny Side of the Street

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

The Power of Positive Thinking is a great concept but one that we often misunderstand.  Positive thinking isn’t something that you turn on and off when you meet someone face to face.  It’s impossible to be successful if you habitually think and say negative things in private and then do an about face in public.  We need an authentic correspondence between our inner and outer selves.  The practice of thinking positively is just that - a practice - that becomes a habit.   Make it habit to direct your mind to the sunny side of life.

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Byron Katie is a woman who fell on hard times in her life and these lead her to a clearing technique which she calls simply, “The Work.”  Julia and I apply “The Work” to situations in our own lives with mixed results.   We discover that the most troublesome areas of our lives are, almost always, our close personal relationships.  You can apply “The Work” to any area of your life but it helps most in relationships where projection and/or judgement are the most active issues.
