Revival of thought in The New Year:
You are the Big Power.
Have you noticed: There is an increasing universal attention to very personal (and positive) thoughts about what powers this planet, why we are here, and what we are feeling and thinking while we are here. Just browse through the most popular titles of books, topics of live, traveling seminars and even the names of fan pages and blogs in Social Media that have amassed followers (Positively Positive, Life Intentions, Live Laugh Love, Waves of Gratitude).
The personal and positive fans reflect a growing, forward-looking movement that is reviving the power of our own individual thought. These power thoughts do not envisage us as directed by a Big Power robed in white, way up high and far away, but to thoughts of a very close, internal knowing that we are a living part of the Big Power. The thoughts are whooshing past the traditional suffering-is-a-part-of-life beliefs, and on to skipping-to-freedom-in-thought that you, Ms. or Mr. Big Power, create your life, your reality with your thoughts.
Questions of what powers life and reality are not new: We have argued who is right, how they are right and why, all the while someone else can turn it around and successfully argue from the opposite end. We have pondered deities, laws, evolution, egos and everything in between, and not to our heart’s content.
Choose your shirt!
What has proved strikingly satisfying to many is realizing life's big questions are irrelevant; that the most important part of the equation in your life is acknowledging and allocating your power to choose your thoughts, to choose your answers. It doesn't matter which shirt you wear, it is still a shirt, and you decide which shirt you like or don't like. You might even decide to change shirts and guess what, it is still a shirt! Here's a thought: Is your choice shirt based on what is true to you and what defines joy in your life? Your choices are based on you, not on the question of what the shirt is.
This reverses what we have been taught which is to look at the question and then, after much mental and physical grub work, (sometimes) the answer will come to you. Instead, this revival of thought is believing you already have the power to know the answer, any answer to any question. This isn't a reflection of religion or theology (or denial of them): This power of thought is an energy within each of us, and in tandem with all of life, big and small, on this planet and outside of it.
Bonus thought!
Wait, there is an added bonus! The versatility of the power of thought to be, do or have is only limited by your thoughts. However you want to see this power of thought integrating with your beliefs, you can do it. That is the most beautiful part of this revival of thought: It is an open thought range unlimited by what has been before or even by your current life - your thoughts continually expand and fit like a well-tailored, just made for you shirt.
New Year - New Power Thoughts
Now, can you imagine your New Year, and the difference in how you feel from believing life is what comes at you and your response to it, to thinking thoughts that life is positively powered by you and your thoughts? The difference is an exhilarating and vibrant feeling, knowing there is more than thinking outside the box because there is no box to restrict your thoughts; you have the innate and unconditional freedom to make the choice to feel good, to be happy and to wear the best, brightest, most perfect shirt everyday.

About the Book
When you find yourself in the constant commotion of our world, wouldn’t it be nice to reach back to the "simple" of life? What could be simpler than to love and be loved? If this appeals to you, it is because you are an integral part of a large, growing movement toward a revival of love. This is not the wrenching, candy-hearts love, but a first love of who we are and why we came here to be.
Our lives are so very full and yet, at the end of the day, at the end of a goal, or at the end of a rope, we innately desire to retrace and feel a different fullness, the fullness of love. Fusing inspiration with beautiful, moving and colorful words, Patricia McKeever takes us on a Revival of Love, and reminds us of the original intent of our existence, to love.
