If you could think of the one most important thing that you can do in your life right now, what would it be? Would you like a hint? In fact I can give you the answer; it is positive thinking. We are bombarded each day with negative thoughts and information, designed to lower our energy level and turn us into consumers of products that can help us raise it back up. It does sound rather silly when you put it that way, but it is not to be taken lightly at all. We transmit our thoughts and receive waves of thoughts from others all day long and even during the night when we sleep, but it is within our power, to a large extent, to determine what we allow in our conscious and unconscious mind. We more or less tune into different stations and are influenced by their broadcast, either positively or not, which have an influence on our emotions and physical body.

If you listen to calm, inspiring music while driving or at home, you can help maintain a high energy level. In addition, if you filter the information coming into your life, you can remain happy and peaceful even when the world around you seems otherwise. It is called being transparent, being in the world, yet deciding in which part of the world you will participate. It is not nobler to be a part of the demise of civilization or to tune into non-life sustaining aspects of our culture and it does not assist others who choose to participate in the lower levels of consciousness that bring them down instead of uplifting them.

Life is a quest for higher levels of consciousness; the human race and the planet are currently changing so rapidly that no one can afford to waste time on negativity. To give you an example of how fast our civilization is evolving, look at the rate that technology progresses. We are evolving faster than that, since we are creating it. Every day some new technological discovery emerges and astounds us. It is non stop, especially considering that when we in the Western hemisphere are sleeping, others are working and discoveries are being made and when we awake the world has changed. These advancements are not the product of negative thought, no; they are born from hopeful visions of those who only see possibilities. The way of the present and the future is to look only at the bright side, the positive aspects, and the desires of your heart and of humanity.

Living this way requires a slight change in the beginning, consisting of monitoring your thoughts and what you allow in your life. First and foremost, do not focus on crime, war and other aspects of our society that are part of the old ways of thinking that have not much longer to exist. This includes entertainment based on negativity. By eliminating these influences from your life, you are removing most mainstream media. Try it for a couple of weeks and see how differently you feel. While you are at it, do not feel compelled to listen to the negativity of others. You can change the subject or just not listen. Many people like to dump negative energy on others, but don’t be one of the dumpees. A friend of mine stopped talking to me after twenty years because I asked him to keep the conversation positive. I didn’t feel compelled to come home in the evening and listen to a phone conversation which included horrors he had read in the paper that day. I asked him to stop a few times, explaining that it was a matter of self-preservation. Finally one evening, ignoring my wishes, he began again and I said, “I don’t want to hear it.” That was the last time he spoke to me. Look on the bright side and fill your life with light.
