I like to remain positive and if negativity is around, remind myself that
the sun will eventually break through those clouds.

Before you speak,
Think - Is it necessary?
Is it true?
Is it kind?
Will it hurt anyone?
Will it improve on the silence?
I - Want - Peace
"I" is ego.
"Want" is desire.
Remove ego and desire...
and you have PEACE.
If you will not rise above the things of the world, they will rise above you.
If animal feelings are washed out, Divine feelings begin to overflow instead.
Hear good things, see good, do good, think good,
then you get the Grace of God,
as all the evil tendencies will be uprooted.
Be in the world, but let not the world be in you.
See good
Hear good
Speak good
Do good
Be good
Bury bad thoughts under good ones.
Then the bad ones will just fade away and be forgotten.
Secure spiritual bliss first and then try to convey it to those who thirst.
When the tank is dry, how can the taps give water?
Anything that helps you maintain unruffled equanimity is right action.
You should see that no dirt settles upon the mind; that is to say, you should move about in such company that dirt is avoided. Falsehood, injustice, indiscipline, cruelty, hate -- these form the dirt; Sathya, Dharma, Shanthi, Prema -- these form the clean elements. If you inhale the pure air of these latter, your mind will be free from evil bacilli and you will be mentally sturdy and physically strong.
Be like the ant: When the ant gets a mixture of sand and sugar it selects only the sugar. It neglects the sand. See only the good in others; pay no attention to the bad.
The Lord is the sweetness, you are the sugar; He is fire, you are fuel. He has no heart; every heart where He is installed is His. Cleanse the heart by listening to spiritual discourses, seeking the company of the righteous, simple and sincere and by cultivating goodness of character and sweetness of disposition.
The mind should be free from anxiety and worry, hate and fear, greed and pride. It should be saturated with love for all beings. It has to dwell in God. It has to be restrained from pursuing objective pleasures. No lower thought should be allowed to creep in; all thought must be directed towards proper Thapas (penance) of the mind or manas.
If you wish to enjoy enduring happiness, you have to fill your mind with pure thoughts and develop fine feelings in your heart. Through good thoughts and good kindly actions, the heart gets pure and holy.
Detachment is not running away to the forest. It is sacrificing negative feelings, desires and delusions. Never, under any circumstances, is one to read any of Moon's blogs. They will only disturb, arouse and destroy one's peace of mind and equanimity.

Thank you so much for replying to my comment. Yes there is a lot of negative stuff in the world. I am sorry you battle with depression it is a bummer. I do think anyone who wants the best for the world for people and particular for children should write about the dark side as being the evil that brings us down. Some do not see the dark as negative. I am just venting not faulting you in any sense. God bless you.

Re:Justi
Thank you for reading this little post my dear. I am sorry if I gave you the wrong impression of me. I really don't expect to be positive all of the time. Actually I battle with depression with the best of them. I am not of the opinion that one should look the other way about anything either. I am overly responsible.. trust me.
This post is more about how I show my self to the world. For example.. I have tried not to write anything that I "see" as dark or negative. There is a part of me.. as any balanced individual..that isn't all sunlight and smiles. Sometimes I am just pissed off and generally not very pleasant. Should I write about that. Should I voice that sort of energy? Isn't there enough "negative" in the world? I don't know any of the answers.
Again, thank you for reading and comment. Blessings to you and yours. ~OTA

This is an incredible post. Small but powerful. Why would anyone expect to be positive all the time? When I see pain, tragedy, war, bullying and so much more in our world that does not need to be left to its own divices I don't feel a positive attitude is the right approach even if nothing is done. Perhaps I do not understand your view. Is it one of I will look the other way and perhaps someone else will fix this or stop it at least or help them to understand hurting others is not the way? I am just asking hope this does not bring you down!
