We Need To Separate Ourselves From The Situation

We all have parts of our lives that are more difficult than others, and the said parts usually consist of us staring in roles others feel no one else could play. Out of love, a sense of obligation, or guilt we buckle down and do what’s expected of us. But like with all things, doing too much of anything will eventually become unbearable. What may have started as a joy, will begin to seem like a burden. Positive energy will be tested to its core when this happens, so we need to separate ourselves from the situation, if for nothing more than thirty minutes to an hour. Safeguarding our peace of mind should always be priority number one, seeing the thought is the start and end of all things. As we think and believe, so shall our life go. If we think we need to take a break and believe this will help us to maintain our peace of mind, then, by all means, we should follow our first mind.

The following month almost everyone who participated in the beginning, came back, but this time to read what they had written. And those who couldn’t make it back were replaced by people who liked what they saw/heard in the beginning, so again, I had 31 guests. Positive Place was officially a hit, my DM stayed flooded with requests to appear in the place to be. I had created my…
