“Make love not war.” Those hippies were on to something.

No one likes war. Although “free love” turns out to not have been the best option, we do have to replace it with something.

It’s not enough to eliminate war, we need to replace it with something else. It’s not enough to eliminate a bad habit, we need to replace it with a good one. It’s not enough to eliminate negative thoughts, we need to replace them with positive ones.

You can try to stop being afraid. Or you can start being grateful. Because it’s impossible to feel fear when you are being grateful.

So what if instead of dropping fear into your mind, you dropped gratitude instead?

Instead of dropping political rants on social media, what if you dropped encouraging words or funny photos onto your timeline instead?

Instead of dropping judgement on one another, what if we dropped compliments instead?

This painting is a reminder that is we truly want to get rid of something bad, we need to replace it with something good.

Drop gummy bears, not bombs.
