So Be Ye

So Be Ye
I think therefore I am whatever I happen to be.
It behooves us to think thoughts that will empower, encourage, and inspire us to be our best and better than our previous best whenever we can.
Those of us who espouse the idea of positive thinking may grouse at the negativity we see around us and wish everyone would think and express themselves more positively.
Efforts to change the world leave us sorely taxed, and although it’s virtually impossible to initiate changes in the status quo, fortunately, a few valiant souls dedicate their lives to their singular causes.
The rest of us can change the world, by changing our own thinking. The ripple effect will eventually influence others and make a difference in the world consciousness.
Some great thinkers and leaders have a far-reaching, significant and publicly recognized impact and value. Just as no one is an island unto themselves, one small effort to smile and be happy can start an epidemic that can cheer up another individual, a family, a neighborhood, a city, a nation, the world.
It’s virtually impossible to change a lifetime of negative pessimism and bitterness in an instance unless you possess some magical power that is practically unheard of. However, every little drop of enthusiastic optimism expressed with faithful expectation will eventually wear down mountains of misery.
