2012 Summer Anthem

I met with my life coach and on my recent travels heard and saw some good advice to follow. These are a few that I noted down and have put firmly on my radar.

The first might be the encapsulation of all of them – it’s someone else’s refrigerator mantra but I’m borrowing it:
Decide how you want to live and who you want to be then begin to align your thoughts with the self image you hold.

A friend told me recently to take things at face value.

Another friend suggested I look deeper into the zen I’m studying to see the flip side of the coin and to understand that my coin has flipped.

This is a little ditty I came up with – When You Have to Wait, Just Meditate

I’m such a harsh critic of myself and have such high expectations that I’m declaring this my 2012 summer anthem:

Dr. John’s Accentuate the Positive

Gather around me, everybody gather around me
While I testify, I feel the summer coming on me
And the topic will be the same, that’s what I’m against
If you wanna hear my story then just chill out
Don’t be uptight while I review the attitude of doing right

You’ve got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don’t mess with Mr. In Between

You’ve got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to that minimum
Have faith, a pandemonium’s
Liable to walk up on the scene
