Slow Rotation: Change Your View

SEE the prosperity before it exists

in order to make it exist

Create It

Accept it

Believe in it

Know your deservingness

Open up Possibilities

Embrace Success

See Improvements

Imagine Transformation

Encourage a Positive Future

Ignore the Bleak

Give Your Own Strokes and Rewards

What you see and believe carries

into everything you do, say, and think.

And the results and repercussions

vary as the input does.

Des'ree - "Life" video

All of Des'ree's work is upbeat, inspirational, and encouraging...but I like this
one especially in video because of the freedom, the simplicity, the sense of flight
and escapism involved. It's just a good fun ride.

Hope you think so too!

It's Not Easy

This may be the best thing I ever got from my high school

education! It was included in a monthly bulletin or

a class calendar or some such.

And while I have grown enough to recognize that not

all of the naive sentiments included are accurate,

a great many still hold value as encouragement.

Passing it on!
(This is from around 1984)

Pushing On

"With a little perseverance

you can get things done...

in spite of blind adherence

that has conquered

some."

Shamelessness & Self Promotion (Good things!)

Today I will focus on the blessings and positive
things in my life and the world around me.

I will not listen to television news or radio
reports of gossip, dread, bad news, fretting,
or fearfulness.

I will speak no ill of another human being;
not to their face, behind their back, or even
in my own head.

I will smile despite disappointment. I will not
allow circumstance the power to dictate my mood.

I will show the real me in my actions.
I am NOT: jealousy, nor anger, nor resentment,
nor sarcasm. These are only surface level responses
I use to disguise pain and create distance.

I will choose to tell myself:
"I love you."
"I am worthwhile."
"I deserve to be happy."
(Even if I do not fully believe these things, nor feel
comfortable saying them, I will indulge. My welfare
is worth a little discomfort.)

I will seek out someone compassionate to talk to
when I need to get some encouragement.

I will concern myself with others' needs, and
ignore my woundedness, hopelessness, and skewed
perception of the world being pointless. Nothing could
be more pointless than continuing to feel sorry for
myself and refusing to do something to positively change
the world around me.
