A​ trend, says a friend of mine that I haven’t seen in a long time. What’s trending now, what is popular right now, what everyone wants to hear is talk about positivity, he says to me. A trend, I ask.

I​ have seen so much new activity on social media about business opportunities, ways to make money, travel as much as you, love as much as you can, do what pleases you. It has all been great to see, and not enough time to really study all these new ideas on social medias. Not necessary new in the world, but much newer when speaking of popular culture, I guess.

W​hen you first enter into this realm of realization that thoughts are energy so powerful to be able to create anything you desire, you are filled with excitement. Some might have fear, doubt and with so much thought on what to do first, where to start. I could compare that excitement to the excitement of the day when I went skydiving. What a thrill! The moment that I was about to jump, it seems I turned a little pale, but I enjoyed that moment when I had no choice but to jump, while I was at the edge of the plane. No hesitation for me. I jumped! I had someone on my back, so there was not much of a choice at that time, and I could do no wrong with a guide literally strapped on my back.

I​t is the experience of a lifetime at that moment in time. After that it is a wonderful memory to look back at and the knowledge that I am going to do it again. Maybe for my birthday, seems like quite a present. I am not sure, though. I still need to take my first flight. That Is right.

W​ith my birthday money, and I will jiggle it if I have to, to earn it, lol, I will take my first flight. It is the cheapest ride in flight training, since it is only a thirty minute preview of what flying feelsl like. Honestly, I am quite sure that anyone could take that first flight with no training at all and no desire to fly afterwards, just to try out something completely new. Obviously like skydiving, before you go on flight, you will have to go through a training on the do’s and don’t while you are on your flight. This is not a simulation in a room that doesn’t move at all. The pilot school at the airport that I had been taking my ground classes at was offering that first flight for like a hundred bucks.

I​ am sure that quite a few will say that is too much or that with a hundred buck you could get a lot of this or a lot of that, or something that you have really been wanting or maybe just a downpayment on something you really want. That is true. One hundred is an amount to really make a decision on for most of us.

B​ut for someoone desiring to try something new, a hundred dollars is not a lot. You can spend almost $80 to get into a theme park or a water slide park here in Houston, Texas. I’ve done that a few times in my life. Point is, there are hundreds of activities that can be done with a hundred dollars. But that bill is all worth it, when I think about, for my first flight. Especially when considering that every other flight after that is estimated at about $350 to $500 per hour, give or take. And in order to have the necessary hours needed to complete your pilot training, you are required to have 40 hours total. Add that up. Nice change.

I​t is all possible, though, especially for me in my mind. So this is how I feel about life I say. It has been this way for quite sometime and I choose not to go astray. Especially now that many people are on the positive vibe. It defiinitely brings me quite a joy inside. Except, my friend, trying to be on this life is positive vibe, and telling me how he has always (not) been a positive person, starts telling me that I need not worry about staying home “fixing” all these problems that I am telling him I need to tend to. He is telling me that I need to go do it. Go for it and get started, he says. Okay.

I​ have been studing the pilot information, taking free courses, looking up at the sky and explaining flight and air and space concepts that I have learned recently, proving to myself that I am learning the lessons I have learned up to date. It took about a year to feel this comfortable with learning the information, analyzing and applying it in theory. I still have about 8 more ground lessons to go, in order to pass the ground classes, but I am comfotable where I am at in this moment in time. There has been so many things to correct before I go. As the saying goes, tie up those loose ends.

B​ut my friend, just tuning in on this positive vibe, that is trending, as he so put it, insists that I just get up and start flying. The many things I can accomplish that easy, it would not be hard to go fly today for that one hundred dollars. But I told my friends that there are quite a few things I have to finish up, master and manage before fully diving into this flying project of mine. He says stop talking negative, just go out and do it. This friend of mine, whom has many wishes himself, including now being my co-pilot on this mission he does not even clearly understands that I am in, is hoping to push me off the edge so I can prove I can fly .

I​n the simplest sense possible, I tried to explain to him that I am at a different state of being on this positive vibe concept. I feel in order for me to continue feeling this excitement of life and doing things that I desire, I need to also enjoy the little moments filled with tideous tasks that are necessary for me to accomplish, so I am not in mid-flight getting an aweful thought of something that will go wrong because I have not fixed some problem or tended to an issue before it becomes a problem. I would rather be in the full moment of flying and knowing this is what I have earned with dedication to my desire, and with my accomplishments to situations that I either ignored or delayed but finally completed in life. My daughter is turning eighteen in Novemeber, and she will be managing the home, her business and her family. But before her eighteenth birthday, there are quite a few tasks that we have been accomplishing together, so there is a smooth transition for her into adulthood, not a hard slap in the face by reality. I think we had our hard lessons these last few months that we all experienced and figured out how to fix as a family.

T​here are a few more tasks that I feel I need to cater to before fully jump into my flying project. Once I am in that mode, my mind will be completely focused on learning how to fly. I am excited and I can wait, but look forward to it very much. So no, my friends, I am not being negative at all. I know I can accomplish anything and so can you. Manifesting what you desire is fun. Thinking positive is great. Living a full life that makes you happy is wonderful. I am just letting you know, that from the knowledge I hold, I feel I, and maybe each one of us, needs to tie some loose ends, so this positive vibes continues throughout our lives, and not just a trend that will soon end.

Y​ou don’t want to lose momentum now that you are excited about life going great and having a much more positive view of it. So keep thinkining positive, planning a positive outcome in life, write down details of what you want in your present and future. Just remember, if you have wronged someone, stole from someone, or hurt someone in your past, there are times in your positive journery that you will have to pay back for some of those faults. Recognizing that you have wronged someone, forgiving yourself and them for any wrong doing, but sometimes it takes more than that. Sometimes we have to pay it forward, or help someone in a similar situation to the one you put someone else. Sometimes you have to take a loss or several losses, to balance with the universe those negative energies you had given. True manifestation is being able to see the ying and yang.

I​f I may recommend for a second, and hope it reaches those who might need to read this. You can’t manifest at your truest potential and have those positive outcomes come to you in the millions if you are leaving destruction behind you and you knowingly leave the mess you have made. Then wake up in the morning and tell yourself if you just forget what you did yesterday and think it is all sunny and clear skies for you, then I can tell you that the satisfaction of thinking positive will only be temporary because there is much to do to be at one with the universe and you. If you went and ransacked your friend’s stuff looking for something else, and you helped your friend take down a wall but you were all in a rush to do it just so you can tell your friend that you helped, then you wonder why your friend won’t answer you but you say to yourself, “well I won’t let his negative energy affect me,” well then….you finish that sentence for me.

I​f you got some or all that I said, then you are doing great. If it is all a mumble jumble to you, then you are doing great. I can be confusing at times but I understand what I do and that is in order for me to fly, I have some things to resolve, and some tasks to complete, before I go on that flight. But when I am ready, I will just jump, full of excitement and joy, for all that I have accomplished. I am talking about the overall goal to fly though. I do plan on either taking that flight on or around my birthday or go skydiving. Since traveling to Europe this year just does not seem to be in my cards just yet. But I have worked hard lately, and I deserve a treat. This is thinking positive and being realistic about my life, in my eyes. Thank you for reading, my G-Rated friends.

I​ do hope that this positive wave we are all flowing on at the moment, though, does become more like a tattoo then just a trend. Like anytihing else, there is work to be done and pain to be felt sometimes. I mean, isn’t it awesome, when you have really done the work, the research, soul searching and manifesting of the perfect tattoo for you in your skin. Then when you have it set on your mind that it is what you desire on your skin, you go to a tattoo shop and have it done in a matter of minutes to hours. But meanwhile you deal with some pain as you get poked on your skin. At the end, you have something you are proud of.
