In spite of our genetic programming, we can still dance with the universe!
Genetically Programmed To Be Negative, Paranoid, and Pessimistic —
From the dawn of man, the strong human survival instinct unconsciously prompts everyone to focus on negative things first.
“Hey Ugh, did you see that saber-toothed tiger?”
“No Slag. I was making sure that snake didn’t get close enough to bite us!”
In fact, many studies have shown that most people will attend to negative things 10X more often than positive things.
Fast forward to the present and we see that this ancient survival mechanism is blatantly obsolete, but remains ensconced in the human psyche, and stubbornly prevalent in all but a few cultures.
Sadly, the tendency to key in on negative things before positive things represents a major barrier in accepting the positive nature and ever-present abundance of the universe.
And you cannot force this revelation onto anyone.
It must be self-directed.
If not, when the external impetus (aka: emotional crutch) is no longer around, the motivation quickly dissipates.
They must embrace it for themselves on a deep-down personal plane; not superficially, nor vicariously — and certainly not a moment before they are truly ready.
I invite anyone to take that inner journey.
Why?
Because I get immense joy to observe the influx of self-knowledge, connectiveness and serenity that magically, inevitably occurs in my new friends.
They learn how to honor themselves and to love others courageously and unconditionally.
In short, they become capable of truly celebrating all these precious moments we call life.
And then we all can dance with the universe together.
Imagine that?

About the Author —
Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life — while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.
In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.
After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.
Since then, he’s been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency — plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).
He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
