True story: If I could be any character from a book or film I would choose that overgrown furball-wookie Chewbacca.

Why? Well, because through the Star Wars Saga Chewey is the most consistent character outside of R2D2 (a droid). He is a great companion, loyal, trustworthy, and most of all, he submits himself for the good of his friends.

Literally, he could rip everyone’s arms off and beat them to death, but instead submits himself to a war he has no stake in.

This guy right here…Chewbacca, saw do much death and destruction, but remained loyal.

I choose Chewey!

I do that for free.

Well, negative often means something counter to positive or otherwise less than, which therefore entails a state one should not feel.

In truth, negative is still a feeling and is necessary, just as much as a positive feeling. Experience cannot be defined as it’s occurring, it just is. Once you evaluate, you miss the experience. Therefore, a negative is the same as positive in that it’s all just an experience.

Embracing the experience, bathing in it, often leads to a life full of enrichment. When judging the emotion such as sadness as “negative” you can learn to instead experience it as it comes, much like babies do. We are humans, made in God’s image intended to feel as God feels, and to judge or do anything more or less than find gratitude to feel something so pure, destroys the moment. Not to mention is a really bad habit to get into.

My strategy is to embrace and breathe inside the moment.

I am a whole being of many parts. A part of me likes the idea of magic and other-than worldly forces and that some action I do could result in an alteration of material in this world. However, as a Christian (worldview of God-created everything and through His word holds every fiber of being together), I do not rely wholly on science or mystical forces, including karma. Therefore, I am not superstitious nor am I totally rational (as this worldly existence means). My soul and therefore core being cannot believe in anything to alter outcomes that fall out of line with Gods plan coming to fruition.

Though God made man with free will He knows what the outcome is and our life both can be altered by our choices, but more so, all is in a state of already, but not yet.

Again, creatively, super fun to think that the world and humans in it can be completely independent and left to chance happenings or luck, but that removes God and therefore all that is good which, well, would be hell.
