Positivity: Your Potential

You have more potential than you realize. I have no doubt you have seen this somewhere before. I think every single self-help concept in existence makes this particular statement. All the new-age teachers and concepts like The Secret and The Law of Attraction say it. This does not make it any less true. This applies to everyone. It is a simple fact. Some days it is just harder to see and recognize and acknowledge than other days. We live in

Consider reality. What we call reality is not the same for everyone. We might believe that it is, but in truth it’s really not. My reality is nothing like yours, or his, or hers, or anyone else’s, really. Even those we are closest to do not share our reality. Oh unquestionably they intersect, but that doesn’t make them the same. Let’s take Thanksgiving for example. For some this is a day where family comes together and eats much tasty food.

Positivity: Compassion

Compassion is something we all crave. We want the people around us to take our hopes and dreams into account in their actions as much as we might consider theirs in ours. What is compassion? Dictionary.com defines it thus: A feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering. When we see people suffering we want to step up and help them. We want to do what we can to better their lot, because that is what we would want them to do for us. Compassion is

As I walk my own path, I do not do so ignoring the paths of others. My path is unique, as is yours, his, hers…everybody’s. However, no path is more important than another, and no one of us is any better than the rest. We are all equal, and we are all one. Society has become utterly obsessed with division. We are split along lines of gender, or sexual orientation, or rich and poor, black and white…take your pick. Scientifically,

Positivity: Build Peace

Positivity is a key to peace. Chaos, disorder, negativity are the weapons terrorists employ. They work to make us fear those who are different from us, to change who we are and what we do, they use terror and fear to sew doubt, discord and disharmony in the world. Peace is possible. When we think, feel and take inspired action to create positivity we keep the fear and terror at bay, and as such we build for ourselves a better

How do I go about taking responsibility for my own empowerment? There are several ways to make this happen, which I would like to share with you this week. The first step is that we need to acknowledge our own accountability. How? By taking responsibility for our thoughts, feelings and actions. Nobody can control anybody else, unless you allow someone else to be in control. As such, you and you alone are the responsible party when it comes to your

Positivity: Be Wacky

Sometimes you just need to be wacky. You need to be unusual. Different. What others might call strange. We all have moments when we do things that are not the norm, and get called out on them. We do things that are unusual, that don’t track the same as what everyone else is doing. We do silly, crazy, bizarre and absurd things from time to time. Rather than deny, disseminate or divert attention from these, we should embrace them. It

Responsibility is not a dirty word. We often look at responsibilities we have with dread. Let’s face it, there are many things that are a must which most of us would prefer not to do. Trips to the DMV, visiting the doctor or dentist, standing in line at movies or concerts, sitting in traffic because we have to get to wherever it is we are going. Responsibility seems to frequently be lumped into negative things. We see this as a

Positivity: Adulting

Adulting does not need to be arduous. There are some major advantages to being an adult. You can come and go as you please, you get to choose your own bed time, you can hang out with any friends at any time in any place and there is nobody but you to tell you no. Yes, I know that with adulthood comes certain responsibilities. We have to work jobs to buy food and clothing and housing and to pay for
