Stop Negative Thoughts

All the things that I don’t like take over my mind
In a big way. I’m unable to concentrate
On anything else but my bad situation
Which I know by now is of my own creation.
My life as I know it is in such a sad state
That relief from my negative thoughts I can’t find.

When I find myself in negative emotion
It tells me that I’ve got some resistance going
On within me. It also lets me know that I
And my inner being don’t agree. This is why
I feel badly. How can I get good thoughts flowing?
To how I feel I must give utmost devotion.

I’ve decided that I’m going to render this
Vibration inactive. By my writing it down
And then placing it in the ‘inactive’ box I
Put myself in the driver’s seat. When I apply
Simple rules of alignment I can’t wear a frown.
In not trying this trick out I would be remiss.

I can vibrate deliberately. When I do
I always get measurable responses from
This vibrating universe. This is a sure thing.
It’s not iffy or chancy. Indeed it will bring
Everything that I want. All the good that will come
Through my change in perspective will render me new.

About Gratitude

Jul30

Accustomed to the pavement and looks of disdain
From each passerby, one must compartmentalize
Feelings of desperation, shame, and hopelessness
From the art of the sale, as the face must express
Sincere need. One must hope people will sympathize
With their circumstance. This is what drives one insane.

Homelessness of the body, like that of the soul
That has lost its connection to reality,
Is a problem that people encounter each day.
People wish that the issue would just go away
But it won’t. It’s a part of our society
That in some basic ways is way out of control.

At some nook on the freeway the human billboard
Holds the message that cannot be well understood.
We don’t want to be interrupted from our own
Many issues. We won’t throw the poor dog a bone.
Trying to stuff the guilt doesn’t do any good
Because we’re not as practiced at being ignored.

Yet there are success stories. There are people who
Have reached out in a big way. Anyone can be
Faced with hard times. People who deal with homelessness
Work for others’ compassion. They are nonetheless
Worthy of being happy. Those who don’t agree
Have some gratitude issues they should attend to.

Gratitude

May23

Sometimes in life we pass over the simple things
That surround us that are wonderful to behold.
We shift our focus to the things that chip away
At our spirits, yet we can be thankful each day
For the little things. Don’t let your life be controlled
By the world and its most chaotic happenings.

Once a woman was walking down a busy street
When she spotted a beggar with an empty bowl
And a cardboard sign that read, ‘Blind Please Help,’ so she
Took the sign, turned it over, and wrote caringly.
What she wrote must have come directly from her soul.
Having put change in the bowl her task was complete.

Pretty soon the old beggar heard lots of change fall
Into his bowl. He’d wondered what the woman wrote
On his sign. He asked someone to read it to him.
The delighted passerby was filled to the brim
With compassion and read the beggar’s humble note.
What was written there indeed was not something small.

‘Today is a beautiful day, and I am so
Happy you have the privilege to be able
To see it,’ wrote the woman. Your gratitude brings
True fulfillment and many wonderful blessings.
Gratitude need not always be demonstrable
To others. It’s one way that the spirit can grow.

Believe In Yourself

May22

From a textbook you can’t learn everything that you
Need to know to be healthy and happy. Some say
That when you’re in the trenches of life, you will know
That this world is a tough place. Is this really so?
It may be true for those programmed in such a way
That they can’t escape from what they believe is true.

Getting what you want and making the most of the
Time you have here requires that you put yourself in
The position to succeed. It means you see a
Finish line before one exists. If you can stay
Focused on your fulfillment, then you will begin
To see proof that what you want is coming to be.

You either accomplish something or you do not
In a binary system. Results people see –
Not the hard work and long hours you’ve dedicated.
If you’re satisfied with what you have created,
Then you are living your life most successfully.
Your belief in yourself really matters a lot.

True ambition means that you’re cloaked in confidence.
When you look in the mirror, you believe in who
Stares back at you. You see the unseen. You’re willing
To choose for yourself a life that is fulfilling.
Life has failures and setbacks, but you make it through
By the power that guides your very existence.

The Beauty Of Nothingness

Dec23

Go the whole way in theory to see how you feel
At the prospect of your achievements vanishing.
All your dreams and hard efforts have turned into dust.
How does such a thing strike you? Could you learn to trust
A condition of nothingness? What’s the feeling?
Perhaps thinking about it holds not much appeal.

For some reason or other people are supposed
To find this notion morbid and too depressing
For any mind to deal with. There’s no need to fear.
Nothingness is a blessing. When this is made clear
Then there’s nothing to fret about – not a damned thing!
Many things become transparent and well disclosed.

What if the most real state is that of nothingness
And it was the fundamental reality?
It could not be contaminated by a thing,
Negative are the feelings that too often bring
Misery to your nothingness. It’s best to see
That all that there is comes from nothing through process.

Deepest space contains nothing. The whole universe
Is engulfed in a vastness that cannot be known.
Everything comes from nothing – the good and the bad…
The ugly and pathetic who make people sad.
If you feel you are stranded here you’re not alone.
Consciousness is a dream infinitely diverse.

Feel Good

Oct30

I’ll Feel Good! That decision is easy to make.
If I made it my mantra, would I live life well?
I can’t muddy the waters by things that I say
That create a vibration that gets in the way
Of the way that I want things. The story I tell
Is the one that makes living bliss or a headache.

If I reach for the very best I ever thought
And then try to sustain it, indeed I will fail.
But as I move through my day, the best thoughts I find
I can manage to maintain, I’ll be more aligned
With the life that I dream of in every detail.
I’ll add bliss to my story to thicken its plot.

On subject after subject I can reach that state
Where the clearest of insight comes most easily.
I can feel life within me wanting to take shape.
Wholesome manifestations I cannot escape,
And in such a condition, I’m totally free
To allow the momentum to help me create.

All I need do is sharpen my signal a bit.
I’ve become a bright, clear one to the universe.
My innate incandescence or dimness acquired
Is my conscious decision. All that I’ve desired
Is at stake, and it’s foolish to go for the worse.
My work is on the energy that I emit.
