Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Life is sexually transmitted. Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection make him a sandwich. Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks. Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs... Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again. All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism. Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents? |

Many people go through life without examining their
thoughts, but not Jedi! Jedi are always examining and evaluating everything - especially their own thoughts and motives and feelings. We need to examine our thoughts because of the negative tendencies of the mind. The mind seems to have a negative focus in most people. For example, a couple can have a thousand wonderful experiences together, but it will be that negative argument where unkind words were exchanged that will be remembered the most. That negative experience will stick, and all the positive experiences will fade into the background. Do 100 good things for someone and only one bad thing, and be sure that they will remember the bad thing! We watch the evening news to learn what went wrong today, how many people died, where did the disaster happen, etc… These are all examples of the negative tendencies of the mind or the 'negative focus'. This negative mental tendency is why Jedi are always mindful of their thoughts. Jedi are aware that our thoughts can be influenced by the thoughts of others, locations, negative and positive energy, electro-magnetic energy, drugs, books, films, and even the food we eat. We need to be mindful of these outer influences, be on the look-out for them. We also need to be mindful of our thought patterns. Negative thought patterns caused by poor habits can be reversed, if we work on it. We can become more positive in our attitude if we examine our thoughts and set a positive focus instead of a negative focus. If we look for the good and positive in things and try to find the light, instead of the darkness, it will help. If we focus on the present moment, and not drag the negative past into the present moment, we will be more positive. If we don't worry about the future we will be more positive too. There are many ways to become more positive, and we can change if we work on it. |
