OUR SEARCH FOR MEASURE- NOT MEANING

In his book, MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING, Victor Frankl comes to the conclusion-as do I- that the bottom line, in life, is that life's meaning for each individual is as unique as each man and woman's mind- your mind is your own or it is not! Your attitude (attitudes) are as uniquely individualistic as your thinking- or your thinking belongs to someone else!

In his book, REINVENTING YOURSELF, Steve Chandler comes to this conclusion, also. We either own our thinking- or are allowing ourselves to be owned by our thinking...

I find that in the ownership of my thinking, I don't have time for bad attitudes. I don't have time to waste, in the living of life, to be negative or to be mean, or sarcastic or pessimistic.

That doesn't mean that I am not human and never have "bad days" or "bad attitudes". It just means that my life's focus is on elevating my mind and my life by elevating my thinking!

"With a pessimist, possibilities disappear." Which pretty well sums it up, in all the other negative categories for mental health and it's different levels of living.

Whether you are a christian or not, you find that as you search for the meaning to life or it's many meanings, or think you know the meaning of life, there is something more to learn and there are more places in your intellectual quest, to go to, for exploring and discovery.

May your ultimate discovery be that Jesus is Lord and God is Love and that the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth!

But even if you are not a believer- you can surely agree that the key to living a more productive and happy life depends on your thinking! Which you can either elevate by effort and practicing better attitudes- or just plain not want to and not care.

Most of us care.

Many are, however, looking for help and looking for someone to guide them and encourage them.

Allow me to direct you towards higher thinking!

Towards intentionally looking for the inspiring... the encouraging... the hoping... elevating your thinking means thinking with optimism, with cheerfulness, with hopefulness, and actually working your own intelletual mechanisms by intentional effort. Nothing ever works without some working toward it. Elevating your thinking isn't just going to happen all of a sudden- it takes work!

See you up there!
