The problem with positive-thinking ...
First off, I ‘love’ positive-thinking gurus, well, to a point,
Some do get nauseating past that point, though...,
They certainly pose many valid, logical, unarguable tenets,
They quote all the ‘holy’ scriptures and the gurus gone before them to corroborate their philosophies,
And, I have tremendously benefitted from applying their advice,
Not always, though, not always...
You see, in the final analysis,
You can only really criticise them after 50 long years of applying yourself,
I mean, you can’t give up before then,
“C’mon, its just that one more step that will fill your bank account...”, goes the tired old litany...,
But, but, but,
If after 50 long years you still have not ‘reached-your-dream’,
Well then, carry on dreamin’ in ‘the-other-side’ sucker, who are you going to complain to now anyway?
They’re all long gone by now...,
God bless the gurus...

"It is the desire of the ego mind to continue to dig in the same hole, year after year, and not truly want to find an answer. The spirit mind knows that the true answer – love – is outside the game. The name of that game is Chaos. What our true selves want is Peace."
I believe each is his or her own best guru, true wisdom comes from within.
Nice job, unusual philosophical prose.
