These thoughts I share every week do not have a "mission statement" or goal per se; however, I always aspire to use the privilege of this space (and your time) to inspire, uplift, and to be supportive in whatever way I can. If I am also able to generate a laugh or two in the process, that makes it all the better. However, whatever my topic, I attempt to tie these dispatches into what I consid- er the "big picture;" that each of us possesses the ability to be who we wish to be. Whether we indeed want to drop a few pounds, improve our relationships, or just smile more often; the solutions lie not in our actions but in our thoughts, those sparkling connec- tions firing day in and day out between our synapses. Let's take that concept a little deeper, shall we? Our thoughts — to a large extent — are altered by our feelings. If I am angry or sad, my thoughts will be unlike when I am happy or excited. Upbeat folks are more inclined to venture down new avenues than depressed folks; who will lean toward stagnation; both of these due in large extent to under- lying emotions. Therefore, it makes sense — at least to me — that the more I accentuate the positive, the more I engage in new behaviors. Why don't we do that more often? It's not that difficult really. Underneath these thoughts and their triggering feelings lie beliefs. By example, if I believe that life is painful, it's much more difficult to modify my emotions to find the positive than if I believe life is glorious. Since we are always looking to vali- date our beliefs, we find "proof" of them wher- ever we look. One who believes life stinks will uncover countless examples as evidence. Whereby, one who loves life will find an equal number shoring up her philosophy. In effect, what you seek generates emotional responses, altering your thoughts, leading to dif- ferent actions, adjusting the outcome of your life. Change your obser- vations; change your life. What I have personally observed since my bike accident is a tremen- dous outpouring of love, support, and good wishes from people I do and do not know. Where I live has some drawbacks; I won't deny it. Yet, it is also populated with the most astounding, assorted, diversi- ty of magnificent individuals. Here's where beliefs come home to roost. I trust that people the plan- et over — while not identical — are similar. We rise in the morning hoping to do the best we can, striv- ing to take care of family and to contribute to our communities. We attempt (mostly) to treat others with dignity and respect, and hope Manton celebrates with Trick or Trunk that they will do the same with us. We are all fighting — or embracing — the "human condition," coming from and returning to the same place. We are alike. Scott Q. Marcus So, if that is correct, and the citizens of my commu- nity have been so won- drously caring and com- passionate, my beliefs pro- fess that the people where you live are parallel, and that applies no matter where you're reading this. Logically then, if the world is bursting with people who, at their center, sup- port and assist each other, then this planet is a better place than I gave it credit for being. I cannot prove it of course, but I assure you that it's true. (Besides, it cannot hurt to hold true that belief, can it?) Again, thank you for the con- cern. I'm getting better every day.
