Positivity: An Amazing time to be Alive

We live in an amazing time. We have the technology to communicate across the globe instantly.  We have miniature computers we carry around on our persons that began life as portable cellular telephones.  We have cars that can stop themselves, and are equipped with cameras and indicators for blindspots.  We have produce year-round from every climate in our grocery stores. Right now we are being bombarded by fear of all the change that this technology represents.  There are people who

Positivity: Fun

Everybody wants to have fun. What I consider fun you might not, and what you consider fun I might not. But so long as my fun does not interfere with your fun, and vice versa, what’s wrong with anything we are doing in the name of fun? Yes, of course there are exceptions to this.  If you find fun in doing things that hurt other people, or humiliate them, or otherwise hinders their life, that’s not cool.  Fun at the

Positivity: Celebrate our Similarities

We should celebrate our sameness more. The things that make us all similar, our basic humanity and our universal desires for love and happiness, are not something to be ignored.  These things that we all share are amazing, and we should celebrate them. We need to deemphasize our differences and the things that divide us, and make a bigger deal about our commonalities.  There is tremendous positivity in unity and in our sameness. We put too great importance on physical

Positivity: Independence

Everyone desires independence. Certainly there are times when having someone else to make decisions for you might be appealing, but overall I cannot think of anyone who doesn’t want independence. Today is Independence Day in the United States.  While this is a national holiday celebrating our declaration of independence from Great Britain two-hundred and forty years ago, the concept of independence is far broader.  All of us, as individuals, are independent of thought, of action, and of feeling.  No one

Positivity: Living in the Now

In the now we are in control of our own feelings, thoughts and actions. Right now, at this very moment, I can choose how I want to feel.  I get to choose if I want to worry about future events or reminisce about past events.  I get to choose, right now, what I want to think about.  I choose my actions at this moment. Society obsesses with both the past and the future.  We think of the past that times

Positivity: How we approach the things we have to do

Welcome to another Monday.  Yes, the weekend is over.  How do you choose to face the work week? This is so much more within our control than we realize.  Since we are each in control of our own emotional state, as such we each get to choose how we will face the day, and that can totally set the tone for how we face the coming week. I know some of the arguments that can made against this perspective.  It’s

Positivity: Love

Love is the ultimate expression of positivity. We live in a world where love often takes a back seat to fear, to ignorance, to terror, to shame, and ultimately to hate.  Yet love is something every single one of us needs, to the same degree as we need air and food and water. Love is often made out to be this grandiose, monstrous thing, often hard to come by, hard to keep, and hard to maintain.  Nothing could be further

Positivity: Living in the Now

Living in the now can be as positive an experience as you make it. Living in the now allows us to only be focused on our immediate needs, our immediate surroundings, and ourselves.  Living in the now lets us ultimately focus on pretty much anything and everything we want to. What’s the difference?  When you live in the past you can really easily get caught up in all the “what ifs”.  What if I had done ‘x’?  What if I
