Make peace with where you are.
The midst of a battlefield is no place to find peace
If you don’t have something nice to say — you already know the rest.
We are all connected — collectively (in our groups, tribes, countries, and throughout the world) and individually (the foot bone’s connected to the ankle bone, etc.).
When one part of us is in pain, either physical or psychic, it’s hard to keep the rest of us on an even keel.
We know we’re supposed to focus on what we want and ignore the pain associated with what we don’t want.
That’s hard — that’s why it’s called work.
Most things worthwhile require focus, time, and effort (mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual).
Start right where you are. What will help you feel better right now?
Venting might feel good in the short term, but it won’t take you very far.
Truth, when it’s a truth we don’t want or like, doesn’t take us down the path of feeling good either.
Both collectively and individually, we must find ways to distract ourselves from the pain long enough to find our good and our common ground.
Demonizing or Deifying does us no favors.
Ostrich-like behavior won’t last forever, but if "sticking your head in the sand" helps to you find a calm center, go find a beach and chill out!
Take care of YOU. Do what it takes (speaking to myself too) to feel better.
The paths to happiness, peace, and love all begin with one step and require millions more to follow.
A few steps may stray off the path from time to time; course correction will get us where we want to go.
Be vigilant. Stay focused on what you want. Trust that you are on your way and take one more step.
The pendulum always swings — sometimes it’s got a long arc.
I paint the negative spaces to enhance the positive. Even when I’m focused on the positive, I am aware of the impact the negative spaces have.
We can’t paint one thing without impacting another.
Darker darks create lighter lights.
Go paint! Even if you don’t feel like it or don’t know what to paint, go paint! Go enhance the light.
Attitude follows Action.
What are you waiting for?
