If I could live in my own dream world, it wouldn’t be full of the horrors and fears that I tried to describe in my post yesterday. It wouldn’t be full of jealousy or hate. It wouldn’t be full of some people having everything while others have nothing. It wouldn’t be full of negativity. It wouldn’t be full of unrest, or disease, or war.
Unfortunately, I don’t live in my dream world, and I am well aware that everything I have described above does exist in the world I do live in. The fact that the negativity is there highlights the better feeling positive aspects in everything, but by saying that I am looking at things backwards.
When I concentrate on the negatives, that is what I see. And that is also what I think I see.
Some people describe a person who sees the positives in everything a ‘Pollyanna’ but I would bet a pound to a penny that those who do the calling deep down would like to have half – if not more – of the positivity themselves. I would also like to think that they may feel seeing everything in a positive light is somehow ‘wrong’ and not how they should be seeing it. Again, it’s backwards.
Needing things causes more feelings of need. Fighting things causes more things to fight. Negativity causes negativity. Look at things from a straightforward point of view and it makes sense!
If you feel good about anything, you feel good. Imagine the time when you will feel good about everything! Imagine the opportunities that will always knock at the right time… the doors that will always open just when they are needed… the people who will provide help at the ideal moment… the great health… the wonderful happiness… the perfection of it all.
That’s my dream world. I’m not quite there yet, but I’m working on it.
Everyday, I’m trying to do at least one thing that will make a positive difference to my world. Maybe, the difference I make to my world will be passed on to someone else’s world, and make a difference to them. And this difference may be passed on by them, to someone else’s world. And on and on it goes. Can you imagine each person making just one positive difference to someone else’s world? How quickly would positivity spread then?
It’s not about taking control of situations and saying how things should be (I always think of the example of someone helping an elderly person to cross the road by grabbing hold of their arm and ushering them across… who says they actually wanted to cross in the first place?) or making someone do something ‘for their own good that they’ll enjoy’. We all know our own minds and what we like and don’t like.
One way to make a big difference is to treat others as we would like to be treated ourselves. With respect and courtesy (well, that’s how I like to be treated!) remember, what we give out we get back. A smile will bring a smile. Laughter encourages laughter. Like attracts like.
And I do like the sound of my dream world. There’s nothing really stopping me from living in it either… is there?
