The Consciousness Switch

not all things that "haven't worked" in your world are necessarily "bad" as they may have served as a backdrop for you in which you could more easily understand things that will "help you" later on

or they were perhaps a chronological "place holder" gently nudging you into the "right place right time"

also helping ensure you had a certain core understanding of "who you are" when that "right place right time" finally showed up :)

however, I think it is always important to look forward, with the most positive attitude possible, with the highest expectations possible

beating yourself up is not in your best interests -- maybe it "served a purpose" but ultimately that purpose can only be realized

once you flip the switch and start doing things and thinking about things

in ways that will lift you up, not tear you down

the pain is purposeful -- but no fun

I choose fun . . . and choose, as much as possible, to learn from past pain

so as to maximize the probability of future "pleasure"

it's a choice -- although not all choices are "conscious"

as your consciousness "expands", so, too, the "control" of your choices

pain was positive if it helps you re-align for later . . . but why live in pain

this is the "switch" we are all seeking to flip

and more than anything, helping people find this switch is what "I do"
