"A cheerful heart 

is good medicine, 

but a crushed spirit 

dries up the bones."

Proverbs 17:22

“Man is affected not by events 

but by the view he takes of them.” 

                  Seneca

Do not conform to 

the pattern of this world, 

but be transformed by the 

renewing of your mind. 

Then you will be able to 

comprehend."  

Romans 12:2

All of us are marinating in a world

or news, ideas, and expectations.

The mind never stops telling us

a story we call: How It Is.

All of this is fed into our subconscious

which uncritically brings more of the 

same into our thoughts, and remarkably

into our experience! Modern psychology

has shown that we see and experience

largely what we believe and 

EXPECT, interpreting

people and situations in ways that 

suit our categories. 

How much nicer it

is to notice the Good, and Beautiful

all day long! But Daily life 

- especially today - 

is set up so that we are basting

 in news, contention, traffic, 

and issues All Day Long. 

And then we

take it to bed with us!

 Too many of us

would rather be right in our negative

expectations and judgements,

get more of a payoff from it,

than to consider a different way.

And more than consider it,

we can put it into action!

How To Do It.

"Be renewed in the spirit of your minds."
