Kismet means fate/destiny. Some believe fate is predetermined, others believe that we have a measure of freewill, and there are those souls amongst us who see it as one serendipitous event after another with periodic hurricanes thrown in to keep us humble. Regardless of what we believe, one thing is certain: our attitude accompanies us on every path we travel and serves as judge and jury to our actions; we must choose wisely.
As humans, do we have negative and positive thoughts? Sure do.
Do we have a choice which way our thoughts/actions go? Yes.
Do our thoughts influence our actions/attitude? You bet.
Does it take great courage to focus on developing a positive attitude? Yep
If we could focus on a preferred way of thinking and acting, which would we choose?
The point is that some associate positive anything with the airy fairy, la-di-da, delude yourself about life set. Having a positive perspective is about courageous, logical, common sense actions that empower and uplift us and others around us – we are powerful beings in a challenged world. Imagine if Edison believed that we were destined to spend the rest of our lives living by candles and oil lamps instead of the bright lights we enjoy in our homes today? Darkness doesn’t have to be a permanent state or condition.
