DSC_4410 Electrons make up Atoms. 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 :)
