I needed a hiatus, and I got it...

I haven't added anything to this blog in nearly a month, and it's time to get going again. It wasn't that I was out of ideas; it was more like I was out of motivation. I thought about taking it down. Nobody should feel sorry for me about this, however -- I really don't write it for others. It's a knowledge management tool. A way to organize thoughts and events that I don't want lost. And it's a chance to put new ideas in practice.

During the time I was off the air, I was considering what was going on. (If you do read this, please bear with me just for a minute while i talk about myself -- something I don't do so much in this blog.) I found I was not a very positive person. I found I didn't really believe in the "power of positive thinking," considering it as being something mainly limited to professional positive thinkers like insurance agents and chiropractors.

But whether positive thinking really works for most of us or not, it's clear that negative thinking works for all of us. By assuming the worst motivations in other people, and assuming Murphy's Law to act behind events, I am essentially bringing this negativity into the world. I give it a life of its own. How does that happen? Because people sense it, and if they sense it they don't want the source of it nearby. What's in your heart finds its way out of your mouth. And I think people can sense that even if they don't know what it means.

So it's time for an attitude facelift for me. Whether positive thinking actually "works" or not probably doesn't matter. I must find out how to bring it into existence. And maybe bring a more positive spin to this blog, as it gets going again.
