“If you wish to get rid of something, do not seek to fight against it.
For by doing so, you only end up making it stronger. Instead, choose
to create a more valuable and compelling alternative. Find a way to
channel your desire for change in a positive direction.
Let go of your need to assign blame and to seek retribution for
destructive behavior. For that usually results in an escalating cycle
of more destruction. Instead, move completely beyond what has happened
and give your energy to the best of what can be for all involved. Fill the situation with so much positive value that there’s no space remaining for the negative influences.
For every negative influence, no matter how powerful, there is something positive and beneficial that can render it irrelevant. Challenge yourself to find and to travel that positive path. Don’t
make the problems worse by giving them the energy of your resistance.
Make the world better by giving the power of your love.”
Here is one song by Rupert Holmes, “Escape” to add more chills and fun:
Escape (The Pina Colada Song)
I was tired of my lady
We’d been together too long
Like a worn-out recording
Of a favorite song
So while she lay there sleeping
I read the paper in bed
And in the personal columns
There was this letter I read
“If you like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
If you’re not into yoga
If you have half a brain
If you’d like making love at midnight
In the dunes on the Cape
Then I’m the love that you’ve looked for
Write to me and escape.”
I didn’t think about my lady
I know that sounds kind of mean
But me and my old lady
Have fallen into the same old dull routine
So I wrote to the paper
Took out a personal ad
And though I’m nobody’s poet
I thought it wasn’t half bad.
“Yes I like Pina Coladas
And getting caught in the rain
I’m not much into health food
I am into champagne
I’ve got to meet you by tomorrow noon
And cut through all this red-tape
At a bar called O’Malley’s
Where we’ll plan our escape.”
So I waited with high hopes
And she walked in the place
I knew her smile in an instant
I knew the curve of her face
It was my own lovely lady
And she said, “Oh it’s you.”
Then we laughed for a moment
And I said, “I never knew.”
That you like Pina Coladas
Getting caught in the rain
And the feel of the ocean
And the taste of champagne
If you’d like making love at midnight
In the dunes of the Cape
You’re the lady I’ve looked for
Come with me and escape
