Atoms make up things. Things make up us and our environment. We and our environment are determined by such miniscule things,yet the end product is amazing.
Our physical makeup was influenced by our parents' surroundings, our circumstances, our choices, our thoughts and reactions to our experiences, and it's not over yet.
Have you ever wondered why some people simply LOOK angry, all the time? You get what you give and, if you GIVE animosity, negativity and anger, because you're predisposed to see the negative, your inner thoughts and beliefs will manifest in a slumping, defeated posture, as well as the ever-present frown and distrustful eyes. Even if you're NOT presently angry, you'll LOOK discontented. The result is that people will avoid you because they don't want to be brought down. In turn you'll think there's something wrong, or that people just don't like you. The fact is you've brought on and fueled this vicious circle by maintaining your predilection for negativity. It's a bit like putting another log on the fire and expecting that the fire is going to peter out.
It truly is as easy as deciding to expunge the negativity and embrace the positive. The 7 day mental diet is a wonderful way to do this, but you have to first decide that you're going to be a positive force and commit to killing those negative thoughts the second they enter your mind. If you BRING happiness, you'll GET happiness.
Imagine for just a second if everyone in the world ( I know, I know, but let's live in Wonderland for just a second) decided that they were now part of the solution and that nothing else mattered. Tolerance, acceptance, forgiveness, and harmony would reign.
Imagine again that if it takes ten electrons to create one atom, and it takes a trillion atoms to make up one thing, the chaos that would ensue if only ONE of those ten original electrons decides it's not going to play nice. The whole THING would not exist, or at the very least the THING would be disfigured.
WE are the atoms of this world. It's up to US to build beautiful, peaceful, harmonious environments and THINGS.
I say we can do this. One person at a time. One decision at a time. One thought at a time. I've decided I'll live in a happier world and I'm continuing to evolve into a happier person because I believe that my happiness will influence another and their happiness will influence another and we'll create a disease of happiness that will abolish the negativity with light.  Peace be the journey -- Cool Runnin's :)

Week 13 of the Master Key Master Mind Experience https://kurtskustomphotography.zenfolio.com/blog/2016/12/week-13-of-the-master-key-master-mind-experience Week 12-was an eye opener. Considering that what you’ve BEEN thinking has driven your results and circumstances. Week 13 makes me realize that the birth of those thoughts is brought about by the dreams you entertain. Embrace your dreams, revel in, and engage those thoughts, and you’ll realize your dream! Commit! 

Peace be the journey

Week 12-what were you thinking? https://kurtskustomphotography.zenfolio.com/blog/2016/12/week-12-what-were-you-thinking Continuing my master key mastermind alliance journey in week 12. A pretty interesting week, considering that what you've been thinking in the past has predominantly determined your reality in the future. Your prevalent thought patterns and outlook have everything to do with your present circumstances. Imagine if it were as easy as living the positive ideals you allow to dominate your mind! Be positive, stay positive, receive positive. What a concept!  If we could choose the path that led to our success and happiness instead of stress and disappointment, who among us would CHOOSE stress and disappointment? What harm could possibly come from making a conscious decision to be happy and not allow the negativity and cynicism to reign? How difficult is it really to be positive and allow the sun to shine from within you? No one else controls what you think and feel at any given moment unless YOU decide to allow that to happen. Of course people are predisposed to see the alleged wrongdoings, rather than the good, but that is only because they continue to live in that world instead of committing themselves to the process that can change it for them. A seven day mental diet of replacing negative thoughts with one powerful positive one is something I've been working on, but not yet mastered. It has been fun and challenging to stay on top of it and replace a negative thought with a positive one within seven seconds. The fun of it has been the great positive thoughts I've used. They're of special moments with special people and I'm loving the feeling I get when I recall them. They instantly destroy the negativity, which has  been cathartic and energizing.

Small changes will result in huge strides away from the energy sucking negativity toward energy giving happiness. Living it is the challenge. The reward is happiness and contentment. Peace be the journey!

The master key experience https://kurtskustomphotography.zenfolio.com/blog/2016/12/the-master-key-experience In September of 2016 I stumbled upon an opportunity to take part in a self development program. The program, The master key mastermind program, was introduced to me through a colleague from a previous work situation. He mentioned a bit about what he was doing and how it was expanding his mind and improving his outlook. I was intrigued because he was already someone I respected greatly and I figured if someone like him could improve, then it was something I was interested in as well. The decision to pursue the opportunity came after some serious consideration and it's led to a ton of new ideas, exercises, and beliefs. It's been challenging, exhilarating, and enlightening. Reading the material and implementing the ideas has  led to many instances where I've realized I'd been living the idea, but not completely and in places incorrectly. I've learned that self confidence is terrific, but relying completely on your own self confidence will invariably lead to stagnation. I've also learned that faith, and deciding to let go and trust is the way to success. Your thoughts will lead you to what you want if you trust them and follow them. Staying positive and chasing away the negativity and skepticism in your thoughts is the number one way to ensure that can happen. The law of substitution is a wonderful tool for eliminating those negative thoughts and in turn remembering wonderful times in your life. A two-fold benefit. I do struggle with replacing those negative thoughts quick enough, but it's fun to challenge myself to do it better and quicker. I'm excited for the day it becomes second nature and automatic. I'm looking forward to consistent positivity. The journey continues and the support from my guide and Mark K and Davene are instrumental in keeping me engaged and on track for success.
