If you want to see change in the direction the nation is heading, this is the best way you can DO something about it. Get out there and vote. One of the greatest rights we have in this nation is our ability to vote. Despite all the messages of disempowerment we receive,

For more than four-and-a-half years, I have written about Positivity here, every week, without fail. Over the past week a number of happenings have left me feeling mostly angry, sad, and not positive. A madman shot up a synagogue, and the unsympathetic President blamed the victims. Another madman sent out bombs to prominent opponents

Our unique ability to make our world; to build; invent; evolve; to start from a raw idea and conjure an amazing construct is incredible. While we have observed other creatures on this world capable of building and using tools, none has shown the skills and creativity we have to imagine and create wonders. We take so many aspects of

Yes, there is some pretty awful stuff happening in the world around us. Terrible people are doing terrible things; threatening to take away rights; disempowering and disenfranchising all for their own interests; shredding the very fabric of our society.

They treat you as if you do not matter, and they act as if what you have endured is not important. They are wrong. You do matter, and what you have endured is important. Yes, you have struggled against incredible odds, and continue to fight to do so.
Letting go is frequently challenging. But doing so opens you up to tremendous amounts of positivity. This can present a huge number of issues, however. Sometimes letting go is challenging because deep emotions can be connected to the thing you need to release. No matter how logical you might style yourself as being, nor no matter how hard you try to not hold onto emotions, this can be complicated. Yes, I have written many times that we are all able
Positivity can be found anywhere. How does the game Cards Against Humanity have anything to do with positivity? Believe me when I tell you, it can generate massive positivity. If you’re unfamiliar with the game, you are dealt out a number of white cards with various words and phrases, some benign, some…various degrees of raunchy and/or gross and/or nonsensical. Then, you draw from the black cards, which usually have any range of one to three blank spots you fill in,
There is nobody you need to impress but yourself. I know that this seems like a lie. But it is one of the greatest truths there is. There are always going to be people who dislike you, or disapprove of you. When they are acquaintances it’s a very different thing than when they are close friends or family. Some of the ideas we have, decisions and choices we make, actions we take will not align with other people’s values, beliefs,
This day is the same, but different from yesterday. Despite their similarities, no two days are exactly alike. No two people are alike. Each and every one of us feels things differently.
