1.: Balance of the Good and the Bad

Today is a good day for me so it's easy to say that we should take each day
as it comes... look beyond the trauma, the stress, the pain and the sorrow
and hold your focus on the horizon for the storms never last forever .. they
move on quickly (tho it may not seem so) just like the weather.

These are easy words today ... because for me at the moment anyway .. the
weather is good. But, I have been through many storms and as I reflect back
on those times... I have to say that it was keeping my focus on the horizon
that got me through each moment of that storm.

In general I am a very positive person.. always looking at the good in
everything. That character trait in me has often been the very thing that
has gotten me mixed right into the middle of some really bad storms. My
eyes, so focused on the positive and the good ... that I completely
overlooked the bad crap that was standing right in front of me.

So, in saying that ... I have to say that we need to find a good balance
between the two.

You can't live your life always looking for that negative aspect of everyone
and everything .. for thats all that your world will become.. one giant heap
of negative CRAP! You also can't just look at the positive in everyone and
everything ... because you will still find yourself deep in the crap. But it
would be unexpected crap and sometimes that can tear your world farther
apart than always expecting the worst.

BALANCE is the key... I'm still working on that, myself.

It's certainly not an easy task.. and I don't have any clever wisdom that
will suddenly make it all come into play.... but what I do know is that as
long as you are aware of your own view of the world (yours and the world
around you) then at least you are working on it and that is the first step
forward.

Remember, you can't just stop at acknowledgement ... it has to be an on
going task within yourself to see the whole picture every moment of every
day.

Sounds exhausting, I know!

But really what we are talking about here is being awake and aware in this
moment.. and this one.. and this one ... and the next ..

Many Blessings and Good Luck on Your Journeys,
Raventalker
