Grow the Good

by

Why is it you allow yourself to get caught up with the things you say you do not want in your life?  You focus on your problems, knowing full well what you focus on grows and grows and grows…Your blood pressure skyrockets and your stomach bleeds fresh ulcers as you wring your hands in consternation.  What’s up with that?!

Wouldn’t it be better to fix your attention on those things you want?  Whether it’s to Be, Do, Have—whatever it is you desire—shouldn’t you be fixated on that?  Even a little bit?  And, since you’re co-creating your world by putting your conscious and subconscious thoughts in gear, shouldn’t you put more effort into training your brain to lean towards the positive?  If that is the way the Universe works (it is), then why-oh-why are you wasting your time mainlining negative drama?  If you’re going to be addicted to something, then shouldn’t it be something that lets you off at a much brighter place than the spot where you began this ride?

TOSOL #38 – Seizing Opportunity (Guest Starring: Jef “D’Angelo Tortuga” Hall)

by

Life drops all kinds of opportunities in your path.  Sometimes these opportunities are totally different from anything you’ve ever done or dreamed of doing before.  What do YOU do?  Do you stick with the “tried and true”?  Or…do you believe in yourself enough to think outside of your comfort zone and take that chance?

Conversation between Mordant, McFall, caller Shadoe42, and in-studio audience members Jef Hall and Dave Esparza explore these questions and more.
