Decision and Intent are So Important...

It is vitally important to realize the far reaching effects of our very actions and thoughts and emotions.  We can build upon the positive actions and thoughts and emotions of others to reach our goals from worldly success to simply improving the life we live.   In filling our world with the most positive things we can conceive and allowing the wings of those positive things of others to lift us from our own painful and sometimes suffering states we can live better and change the world.  It does, however, take intent and effort.
“The universe holds it’s breath as we choose, instant by instant, which pathway to follow; for the universe, the very essence of life itself, is highly conscious.  Every act, thought, and choice adds to a permanent mosaic;  our decisions ripple through the universe of consciousness to affect the lives of all.  Lest this idea be considered either merely mystical or fanciful, let’s remember the fundamental tenet of the new theoretical physics:  Everything in the universe is connected with everything else.”
Dr David R. Hawkins POWER vs FORCE, The Hidden determinants of Human Behavior.
Remember that not only can you effect the universe but you can make a decision to use the positive choices of others for your own enhancement.   Also we must keep in mind that we also influence and are influenced by the negatives we choose and the ones chosen by others.    This is why decision and intent are so important.    

Isn't it Worth it???

What can we do in a world that appears to have gone mad?  We can make the decision to change how we feel and then watch how it changes things around us.  Often changing how we feel takes a lot of effort because we are so often immediately in the mindset of reaction.  But with a little fore thought and practice we can smile at the person that irritates us, laugh at our own folly, allow a pain or perceived slight to slide off of us.
It has been said that every little thought, emotion, feeling, action, is recorded for all time in the ethers.  If with just a little effort we can add positive vibrations to the energy of the earth instead of negative ones, isn’t it worth it?

Emotions and reactions...

Our emotions are triggered by an experience that we have been conditioned to react to.   For example we find a lump under the skin.  All of the advertising and warnings we have seen on television and billboards tell us to beware of strange lumps because they may be cancer.  Our body mind goes into flight or fight reaction and we think, 'oh no, I have cancer'.  This is only one example and I'm sure you can think of more.  Already we are in fear mode, 'what will I do, I'm going to die, what will my family do' already our body is reacting to all of those thoughts and emotions of fear and anxiety.  This same process also provides us with many of our most positive emotions.  Our loved one tells us how wonderful we are and our emotions go into positive overdrive.  
Learning to neutralize our emotions teaches us how not to be in fear and judgement.   Most of us need to think or rationalize our way out of the emotions that take over us.   'It may not be cancer, I have nothing to fear, even dying is something we all do sometime'.   We may even need to examine the emotion. 
When we get the rush from the positive emotions we learn to love the feeling.  It is possible to get so used to the negative emotions that we don't recognize what they do to us.   Some individuals even feed off of those negative emotions.  This is when drama develops in our lives.
