I’ve shifted away from associating abundance with time and resources, to associating abundance with infinite possibility. The idea that something good can come from something bad, that someone can turn mistakes into wins, and that a seemingly hopeless situation can resolve into unexpected delight.

  3. It seems to me that how we view the world makes a huge difference to our emotional resilience. We can choose gloom, and we will find it (over and over). Or we can choose optimism and – as you say – find unexpected delight.

    1. Indeed! Scientifically, I also believe it affects our gene expression and psychological ability to perceive positive options.

  8. Short and sweet – yet quite profound. A positive attitude can change so much. Love your term of unexpected delight.

  9. If it helps, Science and spirituality are both suggesting the entire known universe is shaped like a doughnut, and that the Yin-Yang perfectly represents two quantum particles at the moment of “entanglement” ☯️ “Keep it Real” -Realitology

  12. Definitely right
    It’s a big universe out there. Novas are bad news if you are close to them, but lead to the birth of other worlds.
    On the cosmic scale, it’s all neutral.

    1. Yes, I believe the crux of free will is how we polarize that neutrality in our own perception–how we frame our perspective, basically.

      1. Agreed. You use what you can as best you can, how you can, when you can.

      3. I haven’t seen Harrison Ford yet. I hope he does good!

      4. He’s pretty dependable. Just the right role. Thaddeus Ross being Thaddeus Ross.
        Haven’t seen a Red Hulk comic in sometime now.

      5. Seems like it–Harrison Ford already seems like a gruff general. Looking forward to checking it out!

        Be interesting see how they mesh this in with Captain America (Brave New World).

        Then at a project session will someone say ‘Red She Hulk?’

      7. I didn’t even realize they had a red she-hulk, and I grew up reading comics! Well, if they can pull it off, more power to em. Marvel’s done good with smaller character movies. DC needs to get it together and catch up!

      8. How true. They’ve also worked well in balancing the input of ‘lesser’ characters in their blockbusters the ‘Guardians of The Galaxy’ series being a good example, at times Peter Quill was ‘just part of the team’

      9. Definitely a high point for them! I hope DC can pull off a solid Superman movie. I think the execs interfere much more in Warner Bros than Marvel, but I’m not sure.

      10. Agreed. It seems despite some valiant efforts by actors and some directors we are still waiting for one to at least equal Christopher Reeves / Gene Hackman’ Super I & II
        Although we’ll always have have this Wonder Woman entrance and smirk from ‘Dawn of Justice’

      11. If they keep the John Williams theme it’ll go a long way. Not that it saved Superman Returns, but that theme is one of the best things about live-action Superman.

    It’s a positive way to look at life. Abundance isn’t just about what we have but how we see the world.
