]]> Comment on Moving Towards The Positive Versus Away From The Negative by Annette [Visitor] http://www.masteringlifesgame.com/blog/2005/03/14/moving-towards-the-positive-versus-away-from-the-negative/#comment-3 Annette [Visitor] Tue, 15 Mar 2005 10:37:46 +0000 http://www.masteringlifesgame.com/blog/2005/03/14/moving-towards-the-positive-versus-away-from-the-negative/#comment-3 This line of thinking also goes along with the idea that when we are searching for peace, many of us confuse relief from pressure (or pain) as peace. Example, deadlines looming either for bills or business - and when you "get through" them, either making the payments or delivering the item(s), we think we are now at peace. What we are experiencing is simply RELIEF, because another bill or assignment, or anything that catches us "off guard" will snatch that false sense of peace away.<br /> <br /> But in that light, there are so many of us that move away from negative influences while keeping our attention on the negative, I'm almost certain this same group also believes the temporary relief of these negatives influences as genuine peace. This creates the mindset that peace is hard to achieve and maintain for any length of time. <br /> <br /> We can choose to be at peace regardless of deadlines and other perceived "pains" of life. It's not what we are conditioned to do, though, so it requires quite a bit of vigilance in being aware of our thoughts. True peace feels different from the relief of pain - there is genuine joy, love and acceptance, regardless of the situations surrounding us. The path to peace may include relief from pain/pressure - as we shift our awareness and release our judgements about our situations. But, truth be told, the negative stuff is illusion and all we need to do is be willing to see past it.<br /> This line of thinking also goes along with the idea that when we are searching for peace, many of us confuse relief from pressure (or pain) as peace.
