It is as if my life were magically run by two electric currents: joyous positive and despairing negative - whichever is running at the moment dominates my life, floods it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My life is extremely full and wretchedly busy, and I feel that while my life drains energy from my work, my work in turn drains energy from my life. The result is, I am always playing catch-up spiritually. That is my thorn.
What effect am I having on this world? I'm not sure yet. I have my worries, doubts and fears, but the way I'm trying to affect the world is with positive, right action.
Books that change you, even later in life, give you a kind of electrical shock as the world takes a different shape.
I'm taking all the negatives in my life, and turning them into a positive.
I think optimism springs from nature. I'm a gardener. Nature has taught me about rhythm, the essence of every art. With so much that is terrible, nature gives me pleasure.
Everywhere across whatever sorrows of which our life is woven, some radiant joy will gaily flash past.
Since God is the foundation of my life, anything that streams from that can only be positive.
When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It's very simple.
I think my life in general, like that of any human being, has highs and lows, has moments of great light and moments of great darkness.
Just think of any negativity that comes at you as a raindrop falling into the ocean of your bliss.
