Everyday as human beings we ramble on about what seems to be the most meaningless things in our lives, but those small things add up and we find ourselves repeating behaviors learned through past experience, most of the time not even realizing when something is negative or not.

It's only a farce regard for a moment never lived. Creating a negative moment through thought rather than experience creates a negative connotation through your memory effecting future experiences.Rather the opposite if you experience something negative you can, instead, learn through positive thinking.


When we live through negativity this feeling is exerted through our minds and connects to our physical actions. Everything we do everyday is based off of these things we teach ourselves.

We often think about the way we understand life through nature and nurture, but we have to remember that we not only learn from things that happen outside of us, but from things we put ourselves through. We can worry all day about what someone did wrong to us early in the morning, but it's not going to effect them so much as it's going to effect you. Even if you take these feelings out on them, you've spent so much energy trying to find the right ways of expelling this anger upon them that you've only made yourself more upset, this also creates a connection in our neuronet and the more often we decide to react like this, the chances grow exponentially of it happening more and more in the future.

Yet again, this is only really effecting ourselves. Although we can make a very deep impression on someone else, the only person that makes us feel the way we do is ourselves, same goes for everyone, including the person that you may have bitched out for running over your cat (or whatever it is you might have done). If you spend all that energy explaining why they've done such a horrible thing to you, the cat, the cat's family, or cat lovers in general the way that this person reacts towards this is entirely based on the way they feel and the decisions they've made in the past on how to react towards things. So if they always take everything in a positive light and decide that you scolding them was a lesson, and they understand, and they learn from this experience, the only person that is hurting in the end is you! They have gone on to other planes of existence.

Something I've said a lot in the last couple of years is, "It's not WHAT you go through, but HOW you go through it that makes you the person that you are." And another annictode that applies to all of this is something my brother once told me many years back when I was still in grade school, "Life is too short to change everyone else." This is so very true, it's our job to truly make the best out of our own lives, and not let the experiences that we go through around us control us in a negative way. Let us grow up and see with eyes unclouded by hate.

  1. I realize that in a way what I am doing could be considered an attempt to change everyone else, but in all honesty these are more guidelines directed towards myself in living my own life. I post them so that I can read them again, and also in hopes that someone else reads them and understands, or agrees with me.
