Theme 159 Today we are thankful for our shoes, and our lives that fill them.

Recently I had the privilege of touring the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. I highly recommend going if you get the chance.  In fact, I really think everyone should go.

It was no small challenge to balance as much of a tasteful presentation as possible under the circumstances.  All graphic pictures were behind a cement wall that adults could look down upon should they choose, or not, but were screened from children.

The museum was balanced with not just the World War II story of the war and the atrocity to Jews, Gypsies, Masons, Handicapped and Jehovah Witness, and also included the important element of Neutral with the story of the Curse Of St. Lois a boat denied entry in both Cuba and the US.

Best of all, it reconized the heroins that risked their lives and made a difference and also made the critical connection with other such genocide in Cechnya and Rwanda with a focus to educate and examine ways for the world to avoid such madness again with the Genocide Prevention Task Force.

Of the many pictures, stories and displays like the railway car in which you could touch the walls and know that this was one of many walls where there were once hands clamoring in desperation.  The one picture locked in my mind will be the room of shoes with the piles of shoes that once barely protected the feet of so many precious lives.

Yet another thing we take for granted each and every day.  The shoes on our feet.

PIQ Positive Imperative Question. What do you take for granted?  Will you try and stop each day and appreciate all that you are given?

Big Hugs!

Yes, you read the title correctly.  Today I want to address the difference between being positive and being positive.

Let me explain.  The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary gives no less than eight major definitions (and 18 sub-definitions) for the adjective “positive” .  I want to focus on two of those:

8 b):  Pos-i-tive (adj) - marked by optimism

and

1 c): Pos-i-tive (adj) - fully assured, confident

Do you ever find yourself avoiding being positive (optimistic) about something until you are positive (confident and fully assured) about it?

The Path of least resistance may be a wise decision if you are proactive and made as a conscious decision for your course of action.  All too often however it is the “Neutral Path”.  Personal Coach and motivational singer/speaker Catherine Graham looks at how that easy path of excuses may find its way into our lives for both children and parents and how it then may create even more obstacles in your life.

Excuses, Excuses

“I can’t do it, Mommy” my three year old daughter cried to me, after many unsuccessful attempts at putting her new boots on.  Tears were running down her face as she threw her boot to the wall…

As you know, the title of this website is the Positive Imperative.  Now we all understand what “positive” means.  And we can all agree that “positive” is a good thing.  We want positivity in our lives.  A positive outlook on life, positive friends, a positive work environment, and a positive bank balance are just a few things that come to mind.  Not too many people would argue against these.

So that covers the “Positive” part - now what about the “Imperative” part?  What is so darned imperative about being positive? Well, you might guess the reason is that… it’s imperative to be positive because the alternative is to be negative. (say THAT three times fast!)

THE CHOICE IS YOURS

Patrick Mathieu, Author, Life Coach, Speaker

When something happens, the outcome is either positive or negative, right? Well, I maintain that outcomes depend entirely on your choice!

We create our realities by virtue of the meanings we assign to the happenings in our lives.  The cliché is that some people see the glass as half full and some see the same glass as half empty.  Even though that metaphor has been used over and over again, it still points to the fact that a half-glass of something has no inherent meaning until someone looks at it and decides whether it will have a positive or a negative impact on their frame of mind. We always have a choice.
