in your way of thinking.

In their highest boughs the world rustles, their roots rest

in infinity; but they do not lose themselves there.

Emotions are not predicated by others' actions but by perception. Choose your perception and illicit your emotion.

E. Rodriguez y Nogueras

Within our minutes, days, years, lives, we can choose to focus on what is missing or what is available. We can then choose how to feel about either one. If there is a perception of something missing, we can be hopeful that there is something to fill the gap or frustrated that the component is not there. If the perception is of having something available, we can choose to feel grateful about the abundance or frustrated that it's not enough. We choose

all the levels of sentience and attitude about our

minutes, days, years, lives.

I have found that if you love life, life will

Thought is deed. It has ramifications, a reaction, a result. Affirm thought through physical deed but do not underestimate

the power of thought.

Fear. Perceived loss of power is fear. Perceived loss of territory is fear. Perceived loss of 'standing' (aka ego) is fear. The basis of anger is fear. The basis of depression is anger which is fear. Fear. The root of so much that is wrong with this world.

The law of attraction is really the law of reflective resonance. Universe absorbs your resonance

and reflects back the people and situations

you resonate.

Too many don't understand that minutes are gone once lived.

They falsely believe those minutes are repeated.
