Every Tuesday, I share snippets of thoughts that I call ‘My Thinking Corner.’
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple.
Each Tuesday, share your very short snippets of positive, inspiring, motivating, health, spiritual, writing advice, clips, posts etc, that can serve as a prop to motivate others and simply add my link to your post.
I call it my thinking corner because, I actually take out a bit of time just to think through things, encapsulate my thoughts as much as possible and detoxify my mind.
It might work for you in a different way, but the idea is to get the positive thoughts flowing.
Please send in your little thoughts. You never know whose life you might inspire.

- Sometimes we stare hard at a closed door for too long that we fail to see the new ones opening for us.
- When we expunge the negative, we must endeavour to fill the space created with the positive, because nature abhors vacuum in our existence.
- As difficult as it might be, hold on to those positive thoughts. It never fails to expand your coast and broaden the possibilities of your impossibilities.
- We must pay conscious mind to how we live each day, so that when we look back, we have lots of reasons to smile.
- We ought to respect ourselves, otherwise, no one else will!

Jackie,
The one thing I have learnt in life is – keep cool- everything passes after some time, if you pretend that nothing has happened, out of the ordinary.
Its something like play acting- act as though nothing has gone wrong and soon the wrong will go away.

Keeping cool is very important in dealing with things life can sometimes throw away. My personal challenge with acting like nothing has gone wrong is that sometimes it is an excuse not to deal with an issue squarely. Somethings won’t go away unless we do something about making it right…not necessarily something drastic but small or baby steps towards a change would eventually do the magic

Sure- I mean when you have to deal with a bad hurt or a time when someone has dealt with you wrongly or things like that.

What I understand from Susie’s comments are that there are some things, we don’t need to sweat over. time takes. It’s like someone insulting you. It’s a choice to walk away or to stay and shout.

Yes, Jackie- you put it much better. I have learnt this from experience. Sometimes we just need to sit back and see where things lead us.

I agree that there are issues that must be dealt with decisively before the resolution can be arrived at. Such issues cannot be ignored and when they are ignored the person bearing them may hardly be able to carry on properly, so baby steps towards reconciliation and healing is key.

Hi. Your quote with the old armchair is standard risk management. Before things go wrong you can often prevent them. After they go wrong, you can reduce the impact. Well, that’s the first 3 lines anyway. I guess you say it more succinctly!

Such thought went into these tidbits. I wondered if I could even come up with something to participate. Off the top of my head -I don’t think I can, without much contemplation through the day. I love it -and can’t wait to see what you write next Tuesday.

I want to try -but the work must be profound in order to stay within the quality of your thought. It may just take a while, and for sure not weekly, although this make me disappointed because it is up my alley of preferences.

I totally understand. Just do so when you can. Please never discount your thoughts as not within the quality. That’s not the basis of the challenge. They are just simple thoughts that can be impactful on someone’s life and you never know what yours can do. Just pop in whenever you can.
