“Love of truth shows itself in this; that a man knows how to find and value the good in everything.”

Yesterday, a new friend of mine remarked that I was the most positive person she had ever met in her entire life. I thanked her and have been pondering her statement since, this being the first time I have ever received that compliment.

Not so many years ago, no one would have said those words to me. No one could have said those words to me.

Above Life's Turmoil

It is true. I am living Above Life’s Turmoil. I have consciously chosen to ignore the negative events in my life and look for the positive in everything. This is something that can be done by any one and everyone. It is a process, and something that doesn’t happen over night. But a process that can and will change your life.

“To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life.”

As I look back on the changes in my life, I see that I have become free of so many things we don’t even realize are keeping us down: Conflict and anger, jealousy and fear, Monday morning blahs and road rage to name a few.

While speaking to my new friend about my outlook on life, she opened up to me about the trials and tribulations she has had and continues to experience. I realized that so many people are living this way and feel there is no escape. This is so untrue. I know. I am living proof.

“The turmoil of the world we cannot avoid, but the disturbances of the mind we can overcome. The duties and difficulties of life claim our attention, but we can rise above all anxiety concerning them. Surrounded by noise we can yet have a quiet mind; involved in responsibilities, the heart can be at rest; in the midst of strife, we can know the abiding peace rising above the turbulence of the world”

My desire is to do my best to help others understand the implications of living this way. To be able to feel and live “”.
