Latest Question for Craig “I like to think of my life as being easy. And I even think it is supposed to be. Is this a good idea?”
Craig ‘s answer: As you know my teacher, Mr. Ambrister, used to say “and Craig, its gonna be easy!” And he would say this during the most difficult of times, quite often when things looked impossible. And the crazy thing is, for the most part, that is how things have been. Even the most impossible situations seemed to work out, and not just work out, but work out in ways that were astonishing.
I can still remember, years ago when I was fighting for custody, to be able to have my children half the time. The judge told my lawyer to tell me to give up. But instead, I meditated more, read more positive books, and I did everything my teacher told me to do. And I kept going to court. And to my surprise, everything just worked out. Not only did I get to be with them, and raise them, half the time, but now some 15 plus years later, my first wife (their mother) and I get along great. And even more crazy, It was easy! Sure there were difficult times, but when I look back, it was all quite magical, and even easy. And this is just one of many situations, that looked difficult on the surface, but became easy.
Now here is the trick. When we get centered, meditate, and flood our mind with the positive and spiritual, magical things just happen. Money shows up, ideas come, and people miraculously change their minds. I have seen it happen time and time again, in my life and in my friends lives, in so many ways I could go on for days.
Now I am not saying that life won’t give us great challenges. The challenges make life interesting. (No challenges, no miracles) But when we turn our attention to the higher path, and keep it there as much as possible. We find ourselves at peace, and we see things work out, as if by magic.
On another note… Expect the best and I’ll be the best. “In other words, tell yourself Its gonna be easy!” Believe it, and it will.
Sincerely,
Craig Kimbrough for Positive Guru Blog
We just have to try to believe a little bit!
We are all here for specific reasons. There is much to do. We all have a potential that has us here. It’s just a matter of whether we are going to live up to that potential and be able to see it.
We all have a connection that can give us the energy and direction. Sometimes we don’t have the energy to do the things that our potential life calls for, but we have the potential inside of us. We have the energy. We just have to connect.
We have to determine that we are going to connect. If we determine that we are going to connect, no matter how far off it may seem, if it is important enough to us, we will connect.
We just have to try to believe a little bit, in our goal, our dream, its possibility. A lot of times we say, “if you believe and conceive you will achieve.” We think that we have to believe it. But here is a secret. You don’t have to believe it. You just have to try to believe it. Just believe it a little bit. You don’t have to believe it all the way. So many times I have found, that when I just believed a little bit, and did not believe it all the way, I looked up and I was like wow! The impossible just happened.
But we have to be willing to act on that belief. If you kind of believe your answer will show up in a movie, go see it! act like you expect your answer to be on that screen, bring a pencil and pad, and enjoy.

Be Free!
Moving into a style
that I used long agoThis style that I use
it helped me to be freeAnd freedom is a subject
that I don’t take lightlyOh how much
do we want to be free?In order to be free
I let go of who I amI stand on the mountain
and soon forget my nameI meditate deeply
move with the cosmosso how can I care
about what they think?I trust in the Universe
and I trust in meI move on this trust
every single dayA new way of life
Im happy to move intoOne small step
One small stepFrom the seventh floor
I move back to ground levelAnd I come back here
with a brand new styleI ask the higher place
what to do next?I await like a panther
about to make a leapSo now my next move
is not my next moveBut don’t even trip
because it really isWhat we really want
comes from withinThe question is
do we really know this?Craig Kimbrough
For Positive Guru BlogToday’s Poetry (A Secret of the Ages)
We hold back, afraid it may be taken the wrong way
Thinking we will gain more by playing it safe
We may feel that what we give may not be accepted
How interesting, our grasping, makes our dreams run away
We must shine like the sun, blow like the wind
Let the chips fall where they may, and continue to be free!
What you give may soon be appreciated
The less we are concerned, the more likely it will be
The more we meditate, the less we are concerned
Working without concern is a secret of the ages
You move toward your objective like it means everything
But in your heart of hearts you have already let go

A Positive Conversation Amongst Friends
Ck: I have been feeling sick the past couple days. Sometimes it takes something like this to find out just how good you normally have it. In the next couple of days when I am back to normal, I am going to be so thankful. The trivial things that normally get me, won’t even be able to touch me. I’ll just remind myself that I am so fortunate to be able to function without so much pain.
Tr: Why don’t you start doing that now, be so thankful for all that you have right now?
Ck: Man I knew you were going to say that! but that’s ok when you are going through something I can’t wait to say the same thing to you. (Ha ha ha.)
Tr: I hope you do. I will probably need to hear it. Actually, that is what you do. You are always reminding me of what I have, and how good things are. And many times right when I am complaining! You won’t even let me get into it good.
Ck: Touche. Time to practice my positivity now. Be thankful right now.
Tr: I agree,
Ck: I am thankful that all my tires have air and I will make it to my destination. I am thankful that my children are all healthy and happy. I am thankful that my business is still maintaining well in spite of things being a little slower than usual. I am thankful that I have good friends in my world to laugh and talk with. I am thankful for this positive philosophy and my meditation teachings. I am thankful for the restored health that is on its way. I am thankful for. . .

Today’s Poetry (Maybe It is Time)
Maybe it’s time to put things to the test
And once again see if the magic is real
It seems it is time for whole new adventures
Sometimes I can tell by the challenges I face
I have done this many times before
And had unbelievable beauty come my way
The Universe has spoken to me so many times
When I have the courage to follow God has shown up
I have found Heaven in the strangest of places
If you have never burst open you ask “What does he mean?”
With this science I have seen rocks turn into gold
When I changed my ways my world transformed
When the tough times come. This is the time to go back to what works. This is the time to ask the Universe for our next move.This is the time to meditate and go within. This is the time to be true to our lessons, and pay attention to the signs that come our way.

Attracting More Wonderful Gifts From The Universe
Yesterday I was talking to my friend Aaron who is an electrician for the union, and fellow positive guru. He was saying that he had been working ten to twelve hours a day on his current job project, but this week, they only have him working eight hours. He said that he was happy to be getting off early. He also said that he would probably be back to having to work the weekends this week too. He then said he was happy for extra time and money on the weekend.
We both concluded that is the way to be in life. “I’ll be happy and thankful for the time off when God and the Universe gives it to me, and be thankful and embrace it when the extra work comes too. I take what the Universe brings my way and work with it.”
This is what we call rolling with the Universe, and being happy for the gifts that come our way. This in turn opens up the way for, and attracts more wonderful gifts in the future. He or she who can adopt this attitude will have many good things come their way, and they will show up as if by magic.
Peace and Blessing

Today’s Poetry (To be one of those men)
I close my eyes and see four men walking
These four men are an incredible sight
As I see them walk, they have a different way of moving
They take each step like the Universe is with them
They move with the ojas of peace and love
They move in a way that is so hard to describe
They move like they are floating on a spiritual quest
When you look at them you think nothing can touch them
As I continue to view all my problems have left me
My way is so clear, I have a brand new sight
Nothing else matters and I am one of them
Like I exist on this other plane and still exist here
As I come out, there is no question, this is the goal of life
To change the world as I live on my spiritual quest
To forget about the other characters, and play my part well
To be one of those men, to be one of those men!

Today’s Poetry (This yoga I practice makes life so easy!)
I awakened this morning and could barely take it
Worried about my loved ones, How could I go on?
I decided to chant my mantra and talk to God
I literally did this with each and every breath
Within a short while I began to feel peace
It came so quickly I could not believe it
It was as though I entered a whole new world
I dare not stop my yoga practice
I kept repeating surprised, I felt no more pain
“What if I did this all day long?
Will you protect my loved ones and transform my world?”
I opened up a book for guidance
“I Dare You To Try It!” is what the page read
I rise to the challenge and now I float on!
This yoga I practice makes life so easy!
But how can you believe what you do not try?
