Good Vibrations

I think Marky Mark was on to something back in 1991. Life has to be more than the day to day struggles we face. There has to be an attitude towards one's life, the fight for life! Perhaps I am giving him more credit than is due to him, considering that he didn't even write the song himself, but still he was the face. There is value in 'good vibrations' that I am really starting to inherit into my life. For some reason I have made it so easy for myself to focus on the negative aspects surrounding me. When I think about it though it should be just has easy to focus on the positives as well. It's all in how I choose to approach things in my life. I need to remember what Sartre says about being free; that I am condemned to choose. Granted this is debated by most non-scholars of Sartre but once you understand where he is coming from it makes perfect sense. Condemnation isn't a negative aspect of existence or a positive one, it is what it is, simple as that. And it is this motto which has inspired me in such a significant way but on the other hand it is these words that I somehow seem to allow to slip through the cracks of my mind first when I am feeling a little depressed or start focusing on those "negative" aspects of my life.
So can good vibrations be felt by others than? I completely think that YES when I have good vibrations others around me can feel them and I think it takes a total lack of care or understanding in a person to answer no to this question. We live in a world surrounded by other people, of course my attitude will at some point become confronted by another person's and it is in that confrontation that I choose to send good or not good vibrations. Keeping myself to this action is difficult but what I keep telling myself is take it one day at a time and the more you practice at it the easier it will become.
