It's A Negative World....

Have you ever noticed how the human mind will always look to the negative in a situation before searching for the positive. Also when a person will give some one a compliment it's always dismissed. You know the phrases, "yeah right" or the ever popular, "you're just trying to be nice", that you hear in response to a genuine compliment. But at the same time, you give a person a negative comment, even when it's clearly a joke, and a person will take it to heart and it will always be in the back of the mind laying in wait to surface at the right, or wrong, time.
They have always said that "opposites attract", so could the human brain actually be working on a positive note therefore more easily attracted to the negative things in the world while rejecting the positive?
I am always talking about the balance in the universe, so if a person, myself included, is always taking in the negative and rejecting the positive they are destroying their own balance. So I believe it's time to start regaining some balance and try to be more open minded to the positive and restore some of my own balance in the universe.
What would the world be like if it were the opposite and people took compliments to heart, dismissed the negative comments and looked for the good in everything instead of the bad? Most people can't even imagine the world that way, can you..........

Out of Balance.....

Things have been busy around here. I've been talking with one of my old instructors and am in the process of joining up with the ELITE Martial Arts Alliance. I'll be able to keep my 2nd Degree ranking, which is good since it took approximately 3 years to get it. I have even been ask if I would be interested in teaching some. Meanwhile at the gym I was finally able to bench 225lb on flat bench and 235lbs on decline, which is the goal I set for myself when I began a year ago.
But, even though things seem to be going well, I can't quite get myself into a good balance. Right now I'm not a very much peace with the world. Things seem to agitate me easily and my patience is not what it used to be. Maybe it's the heat, it has seemed that everyone else has been a little "out of balance" lately, we've been covered up at work for the last two weeks.

I know that soon this feeling will pass, but for now I need to work on my balance and take back my serenity...............

Dreams....

Dream: images occurring during sleep; a visionary concept; something extremely pleasant.

What are dreams? Are they actual thoughts that are never processed until you slip into a state of unconsciousness and the mind has free reign to think and react to things with out the boundaries that has been placed upon it by our mortal beliefs and the beliefs of society as a whole. Ever notice how in a dream you will always react to a situation in a totally different way than you normally would. In dreams there seems to be less restraints on the boundaries of reality, a person will jump higher, run faster and take those chances they would not in real life. So is it that in real life a person couldn't do those things or is it that they have convinced themselves that they can't and so they only do them in their dreams when they don't have those doubts in there mind to stop them.
And then you also have nightmares where you are dreaming, but it is not a pleasant experience. The mind has dwelled into the dark recesses of the brain and has pulled out your worst fears and has placed them upon you.

We will probably never know all the secrets to the human brain, it works 24/7 and most of the time it is doing multiple things without them even being thought about. So for it to be working while you sleep is not uncommon. In which case could dreams just be random thoughts being processed while you rest and your brain is working or could dreams just be the thoughts of the "disturbed mind", as I like to call it, showing you what the world would be like if it were left in charge....

Sleep on it and let me know........
