Bird on a Wire

This world trains us to think in terms of "losing" - lose weight, lose symptoms, lose debt, lose baggage. Yet we should reject even the consideration of the negative and reprogram our minds to the thought of building: Build healthy cells, build peace, build talent, build relationships, build success. Building is long-term and sustaining. Thinking that we must "lose" means we're not emotionally ready to succeed. The idea of losing and its deference to underlying criticism only serves to substantiate our varying degrees of stasis, therefore further enabling familiar cycles of self-defeat. It blinds us from viable avenues of well-being and innate worthiness. There is no need to offer one whit of attention to the negative since the positive is there waiting to be noticed, waiting to reset our minds so that our actions find actualization in the perfect miracle of God's perception. In all our deeds, we are either actively coping or tending to creating. And whether we have landed, flown to a better perch, or are not quite ready to soar in the sky, hope glides and it carries with it inevitable seasons of change. Creation lives and its pulse is inescapable. Do it. Be it. Live it. Love it.
