Good Morning,

Every day we start anew. Every day we make choices about where to put our time and energy, how to interpret/be with events, people, circumstances in our lives. Even when we feel stuck in a pattern, in a rut, trapped by past choices we do have options. We always can start anew, wherever we find ourselves. We can always be aware of our thought and choose a better thought.

To remind myself of this I turned to Power vs Force [1] where there is a listing of contrasting pairs of qualities which can help increase awareness of attitudes and thoughts that operate in relationships and all life circumstances. It helps to see the powerful, life affirming patterns contrasted with weak, negative patterns.

Here are some examples of the contrasting patterns:

Appreciative......Envious Balanced............Extreme

Being.................Having Choosing to.......Having to

Generous...........Petty Leading.............Coercing

Optimistic........Pessimistic Serving.............Ambitious

This week as you go about your celebrations, activities, visiting, relaxing take with you the awareness of choosing your thought, where you are coming from. Strive for the more powerful, positive attitude. You get to choose, again and again, every day, in every moment.

Coming to you from the left side of the list,

Judy
