You cannot Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought

this self-help book I have read more than once, which is rare
I possibly read this one every two years
It makes sense to me

negativity begets negativity
positivity garners positivity
wearing black onyx and blue sapphires is not enough

praying for world peace has not worked
so to do my bit, my meager small itty bitty bit
I do my best to remember and live by this motto

Tossing negative thoughts into the gutter
kicking them down the hill
letting positive thoughts be my super power

So far, so good
