Superstars And Black Holes

Without Prejudice

Are you a Superstar or a black hole ?

Superstars radiate warmth and energy. Black holes are always unhappy and want to suck the life out of a room.
If we listened only to the nay Sayers we would never get anything done. Never dare to dream, achieve, be happy.

Happiness comes from within. Unhappiness comes from the same place. We choose every day in action and deed to be positive or negative. Negative are the dark days that everyone gets, we are human after all, but bring out the positive days, the days full of light and laughter and love. Make the most of what you have,  not of what you don't have.

Determine today to hang out only with the positive people, the Superstars, the people that make you feel good about yourself and limit your time with the nay Sayers.

I was brought up with both. My Mother was a war wounded depressive that often saw only the negative in people and herself. She was practical down to earth and because of her depression, often the nay sayer. Balanced with her was my Dad, a dreamer, a placid man who radiated warmth and energy. Both had their place in my life.

If I wanted practical help Mum was there, always, but if I wanted to reach for the stars, Dad was there waiting. The ying and yang of my childhood life. Mum taught me determination and the striving for the better, Dad taught me love and positivity.

I remember every word, every saying they came up with, everything they believed in. Both were flawed people. But they produced some of the nicest, kindest successful people I know, my siblings.

They are also some of the most hard working people I know and you all know the saying,

" The harder I work, the luckier I become "

Today determine to think of yourself as lucky. You are here, you are alive and you are lucky. Lucky to be here, lucky to be alive, lucky to be sharing this life experience with billions of people all over the world.

This time comes once, life as it is now is your experience, not yesterday, not tomorrow, but right now. Take moral stock of yourself. Be honest. Are you happy ? Are you loved ? Are you necessary, do you have a role to play ? Are you, just you, happy today ? If you are well, you are lucky, if you are without debt, you are lucky, if you are reading this you are lucky as it means you can read. You get the idea.

Be grateful for who you are, be grateful you are free from constraints in this lucky country of ours. Free to speak up without fear of censorship. Free to enjoy life to the fullest. Free to walk the streets without fear of being shot at or bombed as are others in our world. Free to eat good food when half the world is starving.

Free to love who you love, marry who you love, hang out with who you want, this is your life right now, in this moment. Determine to make it a good time, live a good happy productive life without fear or favour.

Love what you have, celebrate everything in your life, right now, your wisdom, your strength, your intelligence. And then go out and help others to reach the same. If the world was full of happy people there would be no wars, no conflict, less misery. Don't just stand back and let life wash over you. You are the captain of your particular ship.
