Move to the Positive
Solving the critical problems in our lives and communities is best approached by visualizing and moving into the positive alternative we wish to create, and by building on the strengths we already have, rather than giving our energy to fighting the negative.

This does not mean we ignore current realities. We need to walk the spiritual path with practical feet.
