The danger of living alone going into my 55th year (the old "double-nickel") is that my heart has slowed down enough to pay attention to how I accept the ownership of and feel about my thoughts.  The positive result of this is that I tend to think of things around me in a more cheerful and pleasant manner; not one moment do I wish to waste of the rest of my life on anger, hatred, pain, jealousy, bitterness, suffering, shame, regret... .  To do so would, only, pleasure my enemies and take away from who I "choose" to be.  Negative occurances may happen around my life; however, I control their influence on my self.  All I am and all I have "real" control of is this body, which contains all that is "me."  Everything outside of this flesh is no longer me, but something for me to perceive, as I have learned and am learning to do, in a sane and happy manner.  No longer fearful, but elated to be alive and well; able to feel at all.  Outside of me all will be as it is or what it may become; inside, the same.

I absolutely understand these statement. I am not yet 55 but I am going through a change that allows me to see these behaviors of mine and others. I thing that it comes with being away from the noise of regular life. Stepping back and looking out.

Moving on the Chapter 2...

It's cool you've overcome negativeness and fear and are happy. Fear is a horrible feeling and positiveness is something we need to find or hold onto. Thanks for sharing.

We need to strive to be ourself and do the best we can with what we have. If we keep the negitivity out of our lives and try to stay positive as much as we can and give help to those in need we will live happier lives. Be true to yourself.
