“The most important decision we make is whether we believe
we live in a friendly or hostile universe.” - Albert Einstein
There is a funny way humans have a negativity bias, yet want
good things to happen in their lives. Of course, this is true for
me as well. I observed this in my thinking today & want to
make a choice of hopeful & optimistic views. When I watched
the pessimistic news reports, I believed more in the news story
than the way I want my life to be. Today, I’m making it a
priority to consistently reach for good feeling thoughts about
my life, this world, & others. I was taking this all to an extreme,
while worrying about how the planet is heading toward a
dystopian future. The future is unknown, so if I have a choice of
how I want to think about what will happen in time, I want to
be optimistic. This applies daily, with wanting improvement
rather than situations getting worse. If others think I’m being
naive for not believing the news stories, then that’s okay. Yet,
when listening to either a demon or an angel, I want to be able
to have the confidence & courage to believe the angel & not be
deceived by a demon. I find it ironic when someone calls
themselves religious, yet worship the false god of worry &
discouragement. We are all trying our best; including myself.
