With regards to the celebrity life, Jim Carey said, "I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer"

Cameron Casey

To seek for the good in bad feelings/thoughts and let them be must be positive thinking in a way! We all know the feeling of beating yourself up just because you won’t accept the way you are feeling at that time. You feel like you should feel something else. But the beauty of humanity is that you can’t change what you feel. We should really stop to want to control that and just accept it and learn the lesson the feeling is trying to teach you (like TK was saying). I think mastering life is when you can truly accept your incapability to determine how you want to feel. Also, even though this is a ‘small’ group, thank you Joshua for opening up on such personal thoughts. Wishing you all the best (Dutchie, doing her best :-))
