Thank you, Zuzanna

I think indeed that we need this little dips to recognize the nice things in life. At least as long as the dips are not too deep.
The picture was fun to make.

Have a nice day!

Hello Mario~

I like the question about positive attitude in a human life.
Do not think that we are a miracle people, all of us, there might be some days that we are a bit down so the positive can be suppress. I loved the blog and your fabulous picture!

That picture speaks more then a thousand words ~ thank you!

Great blog,
Zuzanna

You are right, Ulrich and it’s not strange actually. Because, if you don’t know the opposite how can you know how it feels? It would be as authentic as telling somebody about a beautiful place to go on holiday, without having been there oneself. That would be strange.

Mario,
This is an interesting question. I think that people need to be negative sometimes to tell others how to become positive. This may sound strange, but I mean, if you are always positive you will forget how you became positive, you will forget how it felt being negative. But you need this knowledge in order to find solutions for the problems of other people (and you, of course). It’s also about being authentic.

Wise words, Ilaria!

Beware for what you wish for. That is soooo true.

Shea,
This sounds funny, but your right, not as a blog’s name.

The foto: I mounted my camera on a tripod and made three different pictures. In Photoshop I loaded them each on different layer. The next step was removing all the differences between picture 1 and 2. The second step was removing the differences between picture 2 and 3. After that I flattened the layers and I was done. I find it pretty amusing to do.

The hair: One of the things I wanted to try before I die, was growing my hair. Normally I was always the short haired guy. Once I had a bald head for a week (another thing I wanted to try before I die). My hair is growing fast. However, at some point it seems to stop growing and that means that you have a bad hair day for a couple of weeks or even month. Usually that was the point for me to give up the long hair project. But not this time. Finally I came over the urge to cut it and now I let it grow. It’s possible that I’m going to cut again one day. When the time has come I make sure to video tape it and put it on this blog.

Mario,
I however do like the sound of Mario Live Guru, although not as a name for your blog, maybe a title for your book that you are writing.
I really like the picture. How did you do that?
Also, since I had to have my hair cut very short today, I was noticing your hair and I think it looks great, especially with the pony tail.
Rock on, Mario, Rock on.

Mario, this is very true. Everyone has negative feelings and it’s also true that negative feelings can lead to positive outcomes. The most important lesson to lean here, perhaps, is that it is important to be able to take a step back from oneself and ask: why am I having these feelings, and what can I do to change them? And that is the beginning of fixing the problem or healing the feelings. Sometimes it’s as simple as letting go of something you wanted to be different but have no power to change. If you have no power to change it, accept it and move on. If you do, then change it. And otherwise, ask yourself if you really wanted it. Sometimes we think we want things and it turns out we’re better off without them. Listen to yourself and what your mind and body are telling you, and you’ll always land on your feet…
Thanks for this great post! And I LOVE THE PICTURE!
