It has been written that we are all in 100% control of our reality. So true – I believe that. Taken further, we can also say we are 100% responsible for our own reality. Again, I can support that.

So, when we are constantly bombarded with images, information, opinion, drama and what ever else the world can throw at us that is negative, how can we ever keep a sunny disposition for any significant period? How can we grow the positive and good that we so desperately seek, when we are inundated with such crap on an ongoing basis?

It’s tough, isn’t it?

I am (for the most part) a very positive person. I continue to be positive, as I have been looking for another job in this new world of new media, instant communication, Google, Twitter, e-mail, texting and such. It has made it challenging to be positive and smiling, when – for all intents and purposes – I may be communicating with a computer. The “information super-highway” has really done more to build walls between human beings than ever before.

If you’ve read any of my previous posts, you might be familiar with my frustrations along these lines. Children are growing up without the brain chemistry to carry on actual face-to-face conversations – they would much rather text someone standing right in front of them than speak to them. I find this to be a sad commentary on our society.

I am struggling a bit lately. Mostly from the exhaustion from working to engage actual warm-blooded humans in conversation regarding potential employment. It begins to feel as if one is a cast-off from society, set adrift in the sea of new media and instant communication. Having an actual personality or a passion for what you do seems not to be a point in favor of consideration any more. I have always said that I am not going to give up – I’ll keep banging my head against the wall.  Sooner or later, one of them has to give.   😉

But I must admit, I have been lax in honing my vision and goals to keep a laser focus on what I need as a person to keep my spirits up. Meditation, visualization, creativity – things that feed my soul are lacking and I need to replenish the reservoir. No more “news” that purports to “keep me informed”  by trumpeting the gory details of man’s inhumanity to itself. What good does that serve?

I need to clean out the remnants of the old life and make room for the new successes coming my way. Clearing the mechanism is something I haven’t done in quite a while – I am behind. Only that which serves my better self is what I need and want in my life now. I think the most challenging thing I face is maintaining my motivation to keep moving ahead.  And that’s where you come in.

Please send me your comments, views, words, ideas. Thus far (still being a relative newbie at this blogging thing) I have not written with any thought of anyone responding. But, if we’re going to be in the digital age, I think I want to encourage as much interaction as I can that is as close as possible to us sitting down to chat over a cup of coffee.

And I am open to that, too.

Talk to me.
