Who are you!? …and where did you think up this short but informative and practical paragraph(s)? It was just what I need to read, and right to the point.

hi davey. composed a reply, but it was very long, and i didn’t want to clutter up your comments section with a reply that, especially in such a narrow column, would dominate this page. so, i blogged it on my own blog, and if you want to read my reply, you can read it there. i’ve also linked to this (your) blog post so anyone at my blog can see who i’m responding to and why.

the URL to my blog is the one i put into the “website” field above. if you get to my blog on another day, it won’t be at the top anymore, so scroll to the entry on 12/3/09 to find it.

Interesting, and I agree with you. Question to propose: is it worth creating bad days for yourself for an extended period of time, if there is hope that the payoff will be much greater in the long run? For example, being a mine technician, an armed forces soldier on the front lines of conflict, mining an oil field in Siberia. How many bad days will you have? Probably very many. While it feels good to take care of your family, for example, there is still the self to consider. You create bad days with a hope that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. And unfortunately that may not always be the case. And trust, you are looking at (or rather reading at) Positive Patsy. I take responsibility probably more than most people, but at the same time know and own my own bad days.

PS- Thank you for your blog.

The cage songbird sings because it is its nature to sing and also because it does not know it is caged. Humans and animals have an astounding ability to accept the circumstance under which they were raised as base reality. We continue to compare all other circumstances to this base reality and we keep trying to recreate this base reality in our lives. Its only when we become more aware or if we suffer huge trauma due to our fixation on “base reality” that we try to move past this. Looking past our conditioned “good/bad” base reality responses/judgements is the key to the REAL.

i love you.
it’s trrue we must take complete responsibility for every action we take.

to quote aristotle, The first principle of all action is leisure.” Leisure is happiness, and every action WE take, key word being “we,” is a step toward happiness. i read your post on your enlightening AWARE episode in the doctor’s office, and i am quite envious.

Your right Davey, everyone “creates” their day. You can have a horriable break up but and if you mope around the rest of the day then it will be a “bad” day.

But if you accept that it happened and hold your head high and find something fun to do then you can create a good day ^^

You create your own reality. (So the question is, what kind of reality are you creating, Blog Buddies?)

Thinking Positive or Negative when Dead?
Really doesn’t matter at that point does it?

What I love about you other than your hot looks is you speak what I believe. I was told once that I had taken 3 hurts that happened at the same time and turned that negative energy into 1 big positive. A relationship break-up, loss of my house because of it and the death of my very close grandmother. That was 20 yrs ago, and now I’m in a big transition again in my life and am working the creative forces to take the impact of this year (bankruptcy due to the economy) and making into a positive new life. Thanks Davey for keeping me on track.

Agreed, Davey!

It’s like when people say they’re having a “case of the Mondays,” I actually kinda like Mondays… it’s a fresh start at a brand new week! What could be bad about that?

It’s like Christmas all the time!

A word to the wise: Stop eating the crap you are shown eating and start putting as much energy into your diet as you do into your workout and other persuits. No wonder you are having trouble with your gut.

I had a similar day. I was rushing about and felt “stressed”. But when I told myself to relax and think positively, my mood changed. Miraculous, no? =)

What a great way of demonstrating how a shift in perspective permits us to realize that the world we live in is the world we create. I also enjoyed the fact that in all three pictures your water glass is definitely more than half full.
