Valentine’s Day and the Positive Viewpoint of Love 42

Valentine’s Day is approach­ing, and in the video below, I talk about the impor­tance of love and how to exem­plify it dur­ing this won­der­ful day.

You see, when you truly under­stand love and you adjust your atti­tude, then the world is your oys­ter. This is sim­ply because when­ever some­thing bad hap­pens, you can eas­ily switch it around and make it some­thing good.

Watch the video as I believe it will help you take a pos­i­tive viewpoint.

I’d love to hear your thoughts so please share them below.

Love,
Burt

Dear hon­or­able Burt,

I am appre­cia­tive of all your price­less words and lessons which should be reg­is­tered on the text book for all humans regard­less of nationality.

Yes, I reck­oned that how the power of pos­i­tive atti­tude is note­wor­thy unques­tioned. It’s my desire that you keep your health eternally…

I can not thank you enough for your email as well as advice.

Cheers and may the lord con­tinue bless you,

Happy Valen­tines

I enjoyed the mes­sage. Keep­ing a pos­i­tive view point is really the key. I have been mar­ried for 14 years and know that when my hus­band and I were first mar­ried we were blind to each other excen­tric­i­ties. But every­day we look for the good things and let the other things go. Time is to short to get caught up in the neg­a­tive. I have learn that in the last year as it was a tough year. But we have come out the other side.

Thanks and God Bless

There is some­thing that I don’t hear about any­where, but has been so pow­er­ful for me. I always tried to be lov­ing and non-judgmental and it didn’t work for 65 years. That’s a long time. The say­ing, “You can be as happy as you want to be.” seemed silly to me, as it didn’t work at all until I found I had some judg­men­tal words in my vocab­u­lary that prej­u­diced all that I saw. So I decided to drop them. The only sub­sti­tute I saw was descrip­tive words. Well, did that work. That objec­tiv­ity turned me into the most objec­tive per­son on the planet. OK, so, that’s only my opin­ion. Sci­en­tists aren’t that open minded. They have all sorts of pre­con­ceived notions, prej­u­dices, ego and grants to bias their view­points. Talk about a spirit of truth. A word change can be so pow­er­ful. When I decided to drop neg­a­tive words then I saw all the love, joy and peace inside. That so seemed like the fruit of the spirit. With fear, I imag­ine some­thing sim­i­lar might work.
The aver­age per­son in devel­op­ing coun­tries is 60% neg­a­tive, so drop­ping neg­a­tive words only helps bring a bal­ance. If you ease of after a while, that is. I didn’t and I had to try to come down to drive, that’s how pow­er­ful a word change is. Why don’t I hear any­thing about this phe­nom­ena that, for some peo­ple, is more pow­er­ful than years of med­i­ta­tion? Oh, well. Hope some­one can use it. Even while you love your love with all your heart, how do we han­dle fear. I have some ideas. I hope now you do too, so it, or other emo­tions, don’t block your love from com­ing through. We either dampen the love going around the world or we give it a good spin and send it on to the next per­son. We really do have more power than we think. One per­son can start an epi­demic or end it.

jean says

Hello Burt,
Thank you so much for this 1st step of learn­ing the true facts of ‘mind con­trol’ yes I fully agree with you that ‘med­i­ta­tion’ does say it all. May God give you abun­dent bless­ings for all your good work in shar­ing with the humen souls. My grate­ful thanks to you and God Bless.
Love to you,
jean (India)/Calcutta.

Thank you Dear Burt
You are Great .Con­tinue with your mis­sion
and bring cheers for every­one who come in con­tect with you.I lis­tened to your videos and found them to be immensely use­ful.
uncon­di­tional and infi­nite love is God.

Marina says

Thank you Burt,
it’s a lovely way to look at life.
Life is Love, Love is Life..
so, if a pos­i­tive view­point build our life, a neg­a­tive view­point can destroy it.
The most good thing I pick up in your mes­sage relates to what we want to express out­side of us, in the world.
And that’s what pops up in my mind in this moment…
what if, every now and then, I won­der to myself: “What do I want to express NOW is love, or what?” I think it would enhance my aware­ness and my rela­tion­ships.
Thank you for the insight!
Bliss & Love

Rick says

Great stuff, Burt!
If you find your car’s been dented, and
you choose to feel bad about it, well…that doesn’t
fix your car, does it? It just cre­ates that your car
is dented ‘and’ you feel bad…probably not what you wanted to cre­ate. As you’ve said, by choos­ing to be always pos­i­tive, no mat­ter what may come your way, there’s good to be had from it. I fig­ure the guy that dented your car increased your abun­dance by a thou­sand bucks! Not such a bad thing after all ;)
Happy Valen­tines Day, Burt! Keep it coming!

Hi, Burt,
Did you see it in the news?

Peter says

Dear Burt,

Thanks for that inspir­ing mes­sage about “love” on Valen­tines Day. I am sin­gle, and have’nt found the right per­son yet…so this is a hol­i­day that can poten­tially get me down a bit. But not with your video reminder !!!

shirey says

love is rel­a­tive. Not always rea­son­able, nor appro­pri­ate, and thrives most often when all our basic needs are met. It sel­dom remains sta­tic with time, or hard times. Ever chang­ing, love is not sim­ply a pos­i­tive atti­tude, or mak­ing the most of a bad sit­u­a­tion. Prob­lem solv­ing for the best pos­si­ble out­come, or using a bad sit­u­a­tion for moti­va­tion is not love. It is just good business.

Linda H says

Hi Burt!

Thank you again! Your words are so full of wis­dom. I wish you the best Valen­tines Day ever! My hus­band is on his way to pur­sue his dreams as a musi­cian and will be gone at least two weeks to do some record­ing. I will miss him, but your words give me strength and I am pos­i­tive he will do GREAT! It seems the more pos­i­tive I am, the more pos­i­tive things come my way. It’s NO coincidence.

Than you for your thought­ful mes­sage! I am a Super Fan of yours! My goal is to be an active, vibrant, pro­duc­tive and pos­i­tive influ­ence like you!

Warmest regards,

Linda

Patricia Ireland says

Amer­i­can Monk,
I appre­ci­ate your words of wis­dom of every­day things. To be able to rise above any given sit­u­a­tion and meet the chal­lenge in cre­ative and pos­i­tive ways is trans­mu­ta­tion. In con­stant change we must flow, liv­ing, learn­ing, trust­ing and then we will know. Thank you for help­ing me remem­ber that every moment in my life is impor­tant and every thought makes a dif­fer­ence toward the next moment! It really is about the lit­tle things that cre­ate my real­ity as a whole. Pres­ence is the key…in the heart, from the heart, for the heart.…..love heals all!

Happy Spring in your step & a smile in your heart

Mike Shambarger says

Burt
I think in the gen­er­al­iza­tion of LOVE it tends to demean the word it self . We tend to use the word so much it looses mean­ing . I love my wife but do I really love my SRT-10NO , I enjoy my toys (mate­r­ial objects) but the word love and mate­r­ial objects should not be mixxed as it only builds ego and low­ers the value of true love . After 38 years together I still very much love my wife but you know most of my mate­r­ial object have changed over the years ‚come and gone and never come close to the feel­ings of true love . Think about it if you loose your true love that will never be replaced ‚if you wreak your cool car it can !
Have A Kind Day

Nancy Fox says

Dear Burt, Thankyou for shar­ing what our true pur­pose is in this human expe­ri­ence, weather it is love for an indi­vid­ual or love of all our broth­ers and sis­ters in the world. This love, to me, is pure in it’s inten­tion; love of our spirit self and the appre­ci­a­tion of the ALL that is part of each of us, that atten­tion to LOVE lifts us to a level unpar­al­leled by any other emo­tion.
The per­sonal love i expe­ri­ence is the love i have for my hus­band of 36yrs., he is my lover, my best friend and my coun­ter­part in life and i in his, it is all one thing, with many faces, that grow and age like a fine wine.
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!! BURT GOLDMAN & FRIENDS, nameste’ NANCY

Rhonda says

Thanks Burt for your Valen­tines Day mes­sage of keep­ing a pos­i­tive atti­tude. It’s some­thing we all know but need to be reminded to prac­tice in our daily lives. Keep it coming.

Bill Henderson says

Burt
Thanks for the nice mes­sage for the day of lovers(Valentines Day). I shared this clip with my wife of 42 years and the mes­sage is so true. We some­times for­get about our jour­ney together but when we get grounded again it all comes back, how very much in love we were and non-judgmental.
Thanks for the reminder and God Bless.

Molly says

Happy Valen­tines Day, Mr. Gold­man. Your mes­sages always seem to come to me when most needed. I recently started lis­ten­ing to your Mind­box, and I am so grate­ful you came into my life. Lots of bless­ings today and always for you and your loved ones. Thank you. Molly

Vince says

Burt,
Thanks for the reminder! If we all had a pos­i­tive view­point toward each other, what a dif­fer­ent world this would be! How dif­fer­ent we would treat those we don’t even know! I hope all of us who are learn­ing this from you, can be the cat­a­lyst of change around us! Happy Valentine’s Day!

Vince

Patrice Morchain says

Dear Burt ! It is sooooooo true. When you change your way to look at things, they seem to change. After all, it is all in our perceptions…Thank you AGAIN.…

zohreh says

every­thing that shows our kind­ness is beautiful.

Patricia says

Hi Burt,

I can not thank you enough for all your kind words of wis­dom.
You are an angel.
May God con­tinue to bring many many bless­ings your way.
Happy Valen­tines Day.

Georgia says

Happy Valentine,s Day Burt,
Thank you for shar­ing your thoughts on love. I really
enjoy being a pos­i­tive per­son. I try to find the good
in every­thing that hap­pens in my life. My friends love
my smile. They ask me, how come I am always smil­ing,
and I tell them that I smile because I love life. I give
every­one a smile when I am shop­ping. Most of the time
they smile back. Isn’t life grand? Georgia

diane abel says

Burt , you never cease to amaze me . you are a genius . your wis­dom is far beyond any one I know . I really enjoyed the video. I enjoy your works very much .Up until you came along I never really under­stood what my Dad was talk­ing about but you have explained what what he was tring to tell me .To give you an exam­ple so you can under­stand what I am say­ing . He told one time that the strongest pow­ers in the world were thought, word and deed .So I thought you think it you say it you do it .But now I under stand that, that is not quite that easy .you are teach­ing me how to use the power of my mind to get any thing I want in life .You see my dad never explained a lot of things he would tell me things and let me fig­ure them out for myself . He never told me how to use them .The mind­box you send tells me how to use what he told me .thank you and may you have a very happy valen­tine day. your friend, diane

Dennis says

Yes, love endures all things. I’ve been mar­ried for 26 years to the most won­der­ful woman in my world. Yes, we have had our rough times, and many chal­lenges. Yes, love is a know­ing that no mat­ter what, all will be okay. One truth that I have learned through the years is this. You can’t give what you don’t have. So, become love, emo­body love, so that what­ever comes your way, there is noth­ing that will shake your love. We have the priv­iledge to embody pos­i­tive energy (love)and emit this love to all we meet. Roman­tic love is beau­ti­ful, which blos­soms into a true love. True love endures all the storms of life, many of these storms we cre­ate our­selves. It stands to rea­son, there­fore, if we cre­ate the storms, we have the same power to cre­ate the calm after the storm. Use this nat­ural abil­ity and turn the tide of the storm into a calm, which can­not be shaken. I know, with­out a doubt, we have this power. It is that some times we for­get to tap into the power of cre­at­ing our own real­ity. Love one another as I have loved you. These were not empty, eso­teric words. They were a reminder that we have the power to roll back the stone that stag­nates love and rise into a new life. We are love; we just have to remem­ber it in every moment. Thank you Burt for remind­ing us of a true love that runs deep and is rooted in our atti­tudes and belief systems.

Sharon says

Happy Valen­tines Day to you Burt. That was so nice. Thank you for being you. You are a national treasure.

Renata says

Burt,

God Love ya!! Thanks for sharing.

I was won­der­ing… do you have a part­ner in your life? A spe­cial some­one to love uncon­di­tion­ally and be uncon­di­tion­ally loved by?

Love and passion,

Renata

Laura says

Thanks Burt,
I love you too.
Laura

Coral says

Hi Burt,
I think it all boils down to “power of pos­i­tive think­ing“
Thanks for shar­ing your thoughts on love..as love in itself is a pow­er­ful positive!!

Katharine says

Dear Burt,

Ter­rifc reminder to put love first and all else will fol­low. Your story about the dent in your car was a per­fect way to describe how to act rather then to react.
Bless you for all you do.

Much love,
Katharine

Carlos says

Thank you. Nice. I love this point of view for love!

Car­los

Ed says

Hi Burt,

Thanks for shar­ing your wis­dom. You reminded me that “Our per­spec­tive cre­ates our perception”.

Lots of love and light
Ed

Cathy says

Love you, Burt. You’ve always got such a great bent on things and espe­cially when I need it most. Thanks and Happy Valentine’s Day to you.

Linda says

Happy Valen­tines All … What great con­cepts.. We learn to be grate­ful for what is going well and we also learn to be grate­ful for what is chal­leng­ing us to grow. If we choose we can find the gifts in all cir­cum­stances. Just takes a lit­tle prac­tice, and reminders like this one … Thanks again Burt.. these are wounder­ful thoughts …

Leila says

Hi Burt, I like this habit of find­ing the good in some­thing that might appear at first glance to be bad. In actual fact there isn’t any­thing wrong in drool­ing a bit! Chil­dren find it funny that in other coun­tries rep­e­ti­tion after a meal is con­sid­ered good man­ners. Thanks again for the timely reminder.

Jack Hovanesian says

Dear Burt,
That was a very appro­pri­ate mes­sage you gave for the occa­sion. Then again, you are always lov­ing and you have become my model. I am 10 years younger then you, and when I feel Old, I tell myself to “look at Burt. He got so much energy!“
I took Silva Mind Con­trol in 1975, I also took the grad­u­ate course in San Fran­cisco. I did very well in heal­ing. I still lis­ten to my old tapes, with dou­ble metronomes. Do you know why they changed it to a sin­gle metronome? That is too sharp for my ears. I like the old tapes much bet­ter.
One of these days, I am going to get me a con­verter and put my tapes on CDs. I think it is ask­ing too much from those tapes to go on more then 34 years.
Take care my friend,
God bless,
Jack

ann says

Excel­lent reminder — turn­ing some­thing neg­a­tive into a pos­i­tive expe­ri­ence. This is a les­son that my mom taught us as we were grow­ing up. It takes a great deal more energy to be angry than to be happy. Also (using your expe­ri­ence of dented car) by turn­ing away from anger with pos­i­tive actions result­ing in increased income, it gave oth­ers a true exam­ple of what they can do. You are a liv­ing role model for us who are still learn­ing.
Thanks!
