Post written by Leo Babauta. Before I learned how to change habits, I was stuck.

Positive Thinking

Here is your Monday STORY on: LOVE: There are too many occasions when we give up an opportunity to do a good deed. More often the emotion in existence when we decide against it is normally lethargy; 'For some reason we just can't be bothered.' This emotion of course exists either when we adopt a negative state of mind or when it causes the negativity itself. Being negative is a severe hindrance, but the emotion to nullify its effect is LOVE. The next time you pass the opportunity to do a good deed; begin to love the situation, the object and the person who needs the help and you'll trigger a positive response. Today's story is one of reality, but you'll only recognise its full potential as you grow to love it... THESE THINGS I WISH FOR We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I'd like better. I'd really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I really would. I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated. I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car. And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when you are sixteen. It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born and your old dog put to sleep. I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in. I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother. And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he's scared, I hope you let him. When you want to see a movie and your little brother wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him. I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely. On rainy days, when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen riding with someone as uncool as your Mom. If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying one. I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books. When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract in your head. I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory soap tastes like. May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole. I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it. And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he is not your friend. I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle. May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays. I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your neighbour's window and that she hugs you and kisses you at Christmas time when you give her a plaster mould of your hand. These things I wish for you - tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it's the only way to appreciate life. (Lee Pitts) QUOTE: "I shall pass this way but once. Therefore any good that I can do, or any kindness that I can show, let me do it now for I shall not pass this way again." (William Penn) [[ct]]: Positive Thinking

Can someone give me a bible verse to lift me up from this sorrow?
I need some positive thinking in my life. Depressed lately. Basically, I am different from my school. In a senior class of 50, I am the only one that doesn't drink alcohol. Now I'm from a Christian background, so alcohol is a TABOO. But the sad fact is, I recently found out that Everyone in my youth group (13 students) drinks alcohol, except for my brother and this one middle school girl. This made me sick and I stopped showing up to the youth group. The youth pastor does not know. And any suggestions on what I should do?
