"Positive thinking doesn't sound like a very good idea to me. I'm sure it doesn't work. And if it does, it's probably real hard to do." - George Carlin

great for you! i'm quite optimistic, too - it makes life so much easier.

i loved the irony in the quote... god, i love that man!

Yeah, he's funny... and what he says is true. It IS real hard to do, but it's better than being negative... that's the easy thing to do.

It's mo hard to luv than it is to hate, SANG!

George Carlin...

I live by positive thinking...

I think there needn't be any difference between suffering from actual pain and mental pain. However, it does seem harder for people to master their own self-inflicted suffering. This is in that you have to accept responsibility for your mental state in order to end the negative suffering yourself: 'He/she is making me unhappy' or 'She/he is not appreciating me' or 'Society is shitting on me'/ It's much harder to admit that some of our beliefs, hopes and expectations are working against our better interests, and if you're like me, I find it hard to figure out what to do about it! I think however, the only way to end your own negative thoughts is to disown it and think positively. But in order to do that you have to admit to owning it in the first place.

Indeed, perhaps the best thing we can do is to think positively about things and transform that negativity into something useful.

I'm usually good with positive thinking.....(Like most....I've had to be).

Especially dealing with the camels and the House Monster.

But last night got me.....

Imaintained Positive thinking and ran out of Posts!.....

Did I let it get to me?.....No....

I used org notes.....maintained the positive thinking.....

and ran out of them too.....

Positive thinking does work....but there are limits....?

I think I'm thinking positive, but I'm not positive I am
