PDC LESSON 1.16 POSITIVY PRINCIPLES

 

The problem is the solution, everything works both ways.

“It is only how we see things that make them advantageous or not (if a wind blows cold, let us use both its strength and its coolness to advantage). A corollary of this principle is that everything is a positive resource: It is just up to us to work out how we may use it as much.

If you have a heat pump for your hot water, direct the cool air into the house. Don’t see weeds as a problem – they are often indicators of soil nutrients and can be used for many purposes including mulch / compost and for food for gazing animals. On a smaller scale many weeds can be thrown to the chooks.

If your life treats problems as elements you need to incorporate into your design and try to see “the positive side” of such situations.

Everything is a positive resource; it is just up to us to work out how we may use it as such.
