Positivity: Expectation

Expectation is a powerful means for positivity. If consciousness creates reality, than it goes to follow that expectation will create positivity or negativity, depending on what outcome you think will occur. A lot of people find the idea of “the power of positive thinking” to be hokey. Pie-in-the-sky absurdity. And if all you do is think positive, but you don’t feel it or act upon it, you cannot generate positivity. That being said, what you expect will often determine whether

Positivity: Lowering the Bar (Without lessening expectation)

Lower the bar without lowering the bar. We often read about or hear about how “the bar has been lowered” and “expectations are less” in regards to merit, to achievement and other things. We make jokes about how easy it is to “hurtle the lowered bar” to accomplish goals and receive accolades. While often times this does in fact mean we get less – just look at the American political landscape – this can be advantageous to our everyday lives.

Positivity: Every Day is a New Day

Every day is a new day. No matter what happened yesterday, or last week, or last year…every single day is new. Every day has the potential to be completely different from the last or the next. Because every day is new, every day has the potential to be a positive day. Every day can be loaded with positivity and good things. It is very easy to fall into the pattern of every day being the same. Get up, shower, drink

Positivity: New Directions

You can always choose a new direction. Whether metaphorically or literally, you always have options and choices as to the directions you choose to take. If life is not where you want it to be, if you are unhappy and feeling stuck – you can examine why you are feeling negative, and you can determine new directions to find positivity. Metaphorically, this might mean a shift in attitude. Are you seeing things in a positive or a negative light? It

Positivity: Originality

It has been argued that there are no original ideas. I disagree. Why? Because each of us as individuals are completely original. Certainly we are the products of recycled genetics, but we are, none-the-less, original. I am the only me that there is. You are the only you in existence. Even if you are a twin, a triplet or an octuplet, you are original. One-of-a-kind. This is an amazingly positive idea. Because we are originals, we have something different to

Positivity: Something to Smile About

What brings a smile to your face? What memories, what images, what sounds, what smells, what touches, what thoughts will make you smile? What brings a smile to your face? These are the things we need to have at our disposal for when we are inundated by negativity. We need to have these tools available to us so that we can give ourselves an easy means to creating positivity instead. Some days it feels like a major struggle to invoke

Positivity: Choice

There are always choices. Sometimes they don’t seem to be ours, and sometimes they are hard to even get a good look at, but there are always choices available to us. No matter how bleak a situation may be, there will be choices available to change it. Some are surprisingly simple while others are immensely complicated. But they exist, none-the-less. People often become mesmerized by what they are told by outside influences. They are told there are limitations, they see

Positivity: Community

Community is an amazing concept. Community can mean so many things. It can be as small as your family and as large as the nation you call home. It can include an identifying factor which can help you explain to others how you view life and the world around you. But community is really all about those whom you are closest to. Community in the sense I write of here is the group of people who have your back, who

Pathwalking 107

We form communities because it is human nature to not want to be alone. What do communities form around?  It is usually a common element – everyone shares a skin color or similar beliefs about nature or a faith in god or a common activity and so forth.  The people find common ground with one another, and form a group that shares that commonality.  Now we are not alone. The trouble is, while this starts off innocuously enough, often communities
