I am a HUGE fan of the power of positive energy and thinking. Jack's favorite artist of all time is Collbie Caillat or as he calls her "Bobo". We have been subjected to countless hours in the car with the same 2 cds repeating non-stop. While it gets annoying, hearing the same songs again and again... There is one song that never gets old. "Think good thoughts" That is the soundtrack that I want my brain to be programmed with. We have heard it time after time...but that's it...that's the message I want to think, practice, and remember always. I don't have time now, but I will post more on the power of positive thinking later.
"Think Good Thoughts"
"Think Good Thoughts"
I'm just gonna say it,
There's no using in delaying,
I'm tired of the angry hanging out inside me,
So I'll quiet down the devil,
I'm gonna knock him with a shovel,
And I'll burry all my troubles underneath the rubble
When I'm alone in my dark dark room,
I have to tell myself to,
Think good thoughts,
Think good thoughts,
Imagine what the world would be if we would just,
Think good thoughts,
Stop the bad from feeding,
I won't let the negativity turn me into my enemy,
Promise to myself that I won't let it get the best of me,
That's how I want to be
Na, na, na, na
I'm not saying that it's easy,
Especially when I'm moody,
I might be cursing like a sailor till I remind myself I'm better,
Cause words can be like weapons,
Oh and you use them, you regret them,
Oh but I'm not gonna let them take away my heaven
And when I start feeling blue,
I remember to tell myself to,
Think good thoughts,
Think good thoughts,
Imagine what the world would be if we would just,
Think good thoughts,
Stop the bad from feeding,
I won't let the negativity turn me into my enemy,
Promise to myself that I won't let it get the best of me,
That's how I want to be
I just think rain on a summer night,
Stars filling up the sky,
Sunshining on my face,
Making a secret wish,
Finding my happiness,
That always makes me hold my head up high,
I wanna hold my head up high,
I wanna think good thoughts (Imagine what the world would be if we would just think good thoughts)
I wanna think good thoughts (wouldn't that be something?)
I won't let the negativity turn me into my enemy,
Promise to myself that I won't let it get the best of me,
That's how I want to be
Na, na, na, na

I've learned from Buddhism that people often prolong their own suffering by choosing to focus on negative thoughts. We can make a painful incident torture us for years.
