The only problem with appreciating the positives is that it ignores those actions, beliefs and thought habits, usually unconscious, that stand in the way of spiritual evolution. In fact, since this action may well serve to enhance self importance it would actually be counter productive. It seems to me the "work" generally involves the discovery and dealing with the more uncomfortable personal issues resulting often in reflexive behaviors. Perhaps it would be more appropriate for this notion to be promoted in a forum dedicated to social hobnobbing rather than the nasty work of recapitulation and dealing with the ugly items of the tonal.
