Positivity

I received a comment in Chinese to one of my blogs - awesome, I was so chuffed and thanks to Google translate I could read it in English. We English speakers are quite pompous in a way, we assume (rightly I suppose) that the entire world understands what we're saying and because of this we often don't bother to understand their languages. I took French at school but really, outside the classroom what do I know? I used to read a French decor magazine to try to keep up, but eventually it fell away. We are, it seems, positive that the world will hear us.
Most people will have read The Secret, a lesson in belief. I met a young man, about 25 years old, he had uprooted himself and his wife, after reading the book, and left his small town in the Free State because he was positive that all his wishes would come true in Cape Town. Unbeknown to him his mother and siblings had reached the same conclusion and they all met up in Cape Town and by now I have no doubt their lives are fullfilled.
Dale Carnegie brought out the book The Power of Positive Thinking, last century (I love saying that)and the self help has continued from there. It's really rather difficult maintaining so much focus and being Mary Poppins on a daily basis. I have put my message out to the universe and I believe that it will be received and what I have asked will indeed happen. But we become impatient and want to keep sending memos and there are so many things we want (being greedy or needy or whatever). But positive thinking does help, we need to have something to believe in and I do believe that we control our own lives to a great extent by our actions and thoughts.
The love of my life goes into hospital tomorrow for a procedure, more about it next week. In the meantime please send him some positive thoughts and to my good Reiki friends please send some distance Reiki to Rowland, as I will be doing and I know all will be well.
