We Have the Power

One of the truly positive aspects of growing older is the wisdom and serenity it can bring to our lives. And with that wisdom and serenity comes the power and knowledge to ensure that the choices we make have our best interests at heart. When we are young we are reckless, taking our health for granted, burning the candle at both ends, and making decisions that we later come to regret. We also feel that we have all the time in the world. When we reach our thirties, forties, and beyond, we realize that time is both precious and finite.We are now ready to take better control of our lives and focus on meaningful goals that are beneficial and for the long term.
Stress is very physical in its many manifestations, and what is described here is no doubt just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.We have learned just how “wholistic” stress and negative emotion are—leaving no part of the body untouched. But we are not helpless, defenseless beings, subject to the whims and caprices of the world, slaves to mental and emotional stress.We have many teachers willing to provide the tools we need to maximize our physical and mental potential. Most of all, we need to realize and accept that we are powerful entities with great abilities to both create and destroy ourselves, our realities, and our universe. If the negative states of mind can do this much harm, might not learning how to destress and concentrate on positive thoughts and emotions be capable of producing even greater benefits? If this is true, and it is, then it stands to reason that reducing stress and learning to focus on positive emotions must hold the key to a brighter, happier, and healthier future for us all. It is up to us to light the way for the generations following in our footsteps.
