Positivity: Consciousness Creates Reality

Consciousness creates reality. This is an amazingly positive statement. It boils down to one simple notion – you create your own world. It is astounding and somewhat upsetting just how many outside forces work continuously to disprove this notion. We are told that circumstances are beyond our control, and that there are limitations and so on and so forth. We are frequently disempowered, and we wind up disbelieving this idea entirely. Despite all the forces arrayed against this concept, they

Positivity: Failure

For some, failure is the thing they fear the most. For some, there is nothing more awful, more terrifying, more negative than failure. Failure is not a negative, unless you choose for it to be. Failure can be, in fact, quite the positive. Yes, this runs counter to much of the beliefs our society holds. We always hear about the success stories, we are always striving to be successful in our endeavors. As such, we hold up success as an

Positivity: Opposites

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. As such, if you are feeling down, you can bring yourself back up. If you are sad, you can find something to make you happy. If you are feeling uninspired you can find something to light your spark again. When you are feeling negative, you can seek out things that will return your mindset to positive. I know that there are days this seems almost impossible. If you make the

Positivity: Success

How do you measure success? I believe that most people would give fairly broad answers. A great job, a beautiful home, an incredible family, wealth and so forth. But success does not need to be these grand and glorious things. Success can and should be simpler, and more easily attainable. Society loves to hold up pillars of success. Great men and women who have overcome the odds and risen above this and that to achieve success. Whether a business mogul,

Positivity: Knowledge

We have the potential to absorb knowledge like a sponge. Human beings have a unique adaptability that no other creature in the animal kingdom shares. We can make our homes in any climate, any geography, anywhere we would choose. Knowledge is power. That statement has been used to frighten people for a long time now. The truth is, knowledge is not simply power – knowledge is life. There is always something new to explore, something new to be learned. The

Positivity: Respect

There are many people deserving of respect. Status does not matter.  Social standing is unimportant.  It is actions that command respect.  Whether it is a trauma doctor saving a dying patient, a soldier defending her country, a teacher educating children or a plumber keeping your basement dry, the service they perform is deserving of respect. We have become somewhat jaded as a nation when it comes to this.  Discussions about bad pay and overpayment and benefits or a lack thereof

Positivity: Amongst Friends

There is nothing quite like time amongst friends. I got to spend a long weekend with some amazing friends.  There was tons of great conversation, inside jokes, laughter, and camaraderie.  I got to spend quality time with my chosen family, got to build better friendships with others, and even made several new friends along the way. There is nothing quite like friendship to generate positive energy.  I am always pleasantly surprised by how swiftly hanging out with friends makes me

Positivity: Well Done!

Well done! Two powerful words that can change a negative into a positive.  These two words can provide the compliment that tells you what you are doing or have done is appreciated, and that you have worth and value. Everybody wants to feel good about themselves.  As much as our emotions are wholly our own, and we ultimately decide how to feel, no matter the outside influence…we still crave the satisfaction, the validation for whatever thing it is we are

Positivity: No Limits

You are capable of anything. You have the ability to make your own life.  You are empowered with a strength that separates us from the rest of the animals walking this earth.  You can choose who to be, where to live, what sort of job to work, the people you associate with.  Beyond the physical, you can choose to be happy or sad or strong or weak. You have no limitations but those you set upon yourself.  We are amazing

Positivity: Moonlight

If sunlight provides fuel by day, moonlight provides fuel by night. The moon had been personified in song and story in so very many ways.  Sometimes called He, sometimes called She, the moon is more to us than simply an immense rock orbiting the Earth and effecting our tides.  The moon is a quintessential part of the lore of almost every culture in the world. The moon has its many phases, showing us different shapes and faces.  Crescent, half, full
