Peace joy and the power of negative thinking

PEACE, JOY, & THE POWER OF NEGATIVE THINKING 

We are flooded with “the power of positive thinking and positive psychology” these days.  Generally, I agree with most of  this type of thinking because it leads to creativity and expansion of possible solutions to the perplexing problems of daily life.  

On the other hand there is this thing called “balance” and there is a use for “negative” thinking when exercised in a productive way.  

How does  one do this you ask?  Well since it’s Sunday and  I can never get too serious on Sunday I have this little rhyme to suggest when negative thinking is just okay.  

The Power of  Negative Thinking

Always saying yes to everything well that is not okay

And following the crowd is a  “no” when your values aren’t that way

Sometimes you must say nada to your fears of yesterday 

And sometimes leave a stone unturned when you’ve had enough today

You have to cheer for cloudy skies for there’s a purpose for the rain

Sometimes  you say no thanks to the pills and  learn to understand  your pain

Sometimes you  should stay quiet when you would love to complain

And sometimess say no way to rushing and just catch the next train

Some times  you need to stand. And say I do not agree

What you’re selling I’m not buying so please. Just let me be

Sometimes you just must leave a fight when no learning can take place

Many times refusing requires lots of grace

To sum up there will be some times when you’ve got to stop the flow

Put some some of your  burdens down and  let your ego go

You simply can’t let every.weed in. Your garden growIn short say  yes a lot but now and then peace and joy means no
