The prompt this week at
GBE2 is - pick a line from a book and write from there.
I thought this would be quite easy - how wrong was I. Finding a line was easy, writing from there - major mental block!
Each nifty line that I picked, drew a complete blank. So eventually I just opened a page from one of my favourite books - The Tao of Pooh - and found this line:
So quite often, the easiest way to get rid of a minus is to change it into a plus
How apt was that!
So how do you change a minus into a plus?
Mathematically you can:
- multiply by another negative number or
- divide by another negative number or
- add a higher positive number (than the negative integer)
But how do you do it in life?
I have no idea how you do it, but here are some ways in which I do it.
When things aren't going my way and I start to despair, I simply go with the flow. I've learned over the years that the Universe has a plan all of it's own and going against that flow makes things so much harder. Eventually I end up where the Universe wants me, to not where I want to, so it's just infinitely easier to
go with the flow.
"This too shall pass" is one of my favourite quotes. Whenever I'm going through a rough patch, I know that eventually there will be light at the end of a dark tunnel. I can't get away from going through the tunnel, I need to travel through it and focussing on that darkness isn't productive. So I find it best to accept the situation and focus on other things while I ride the storm because I know that
this too shall pass.
Not saying that I can do these every time but they help to keep me sane most times.
And there are other ways too, but I think these two have been most effective for me.
Would love to know your methods, so please share. Thanks.
Wish you all an awesome day.
Warm Regards
