Taking the High Road (part 2 of a series)

More about making creative decisions to "take the high road:" IMHO, we need to know ourselves well in order to make the kinds of distinctions and decisions that have an impact on the quality of our lives. For example:

• What are the activities, endeavors, hobbies,ways of thinking, conversations, etc., that get you on the high road. (We might also want to call this the "top line." Or else, give it a name that makes sense to you.)
• What are the distractions that keep us from engaging in top line living, thinking or doing?

Once we have a clearer picture (things never get totally clear, do they?), then we can begin asking ourselves more questions, such as

• Who inspires, encourages, becomes a part of our top line living? 
• Who are the people who serve to keep us stuck on the bottom, or who lead us to the bottom?

Knowing this can help us to opt for the higher way of living.  IMHO, of course.

Creative decisions

   A student writes: Creativity is not only expressed through art and music; it is seen through your daily actions and the decisions you make.  Something to think about.


   When I have a choice to make between x and y, which of the two expresses my "higher self"? Am I free to decide to "take the high road"? Hmmm... which shall it be--watching television or working on my hobby? sending that angry email or not?  I'm sure you can come up with a few of your own choices and decisions?
   Should I end this post now or continue squeezing out a few more lines?
