Tags: Positive Thinking, Happiness, Thank You, 2020, Mindfulness

2020

It started with Ignorance, moving to Curiousness and now is ending high on Hope. Yes! that is Year — 2020 from stratosphere.

I believe there is no good or bad number and nothing evil about 2020 to be blamed for taking lives and livelihood. Though days are tough and times are testing for most, this year has also proven to bring prosperity and fortune to many in various aspects. So rather than blaming 2020, here’s a message to thank 2020.

As Serenity Prayer goes:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can,

and Wisdom to know the difference

Thank You 2020 for imparting valuable lessons this year, which have been life changing and unforgettable.

Thank you for teaching Acceptance: With absolutely no power to change the situation, acceptance became reality number one. Acceptance to the new normal, to the slow down, to difficulties of lockdown with all its affects. Acceptance to bring the required changes in our homes, surroundings and most importantly within ourselves.

Thank you 2020 for teaching Adaptability: Businesses, offices, schools, parents, children, individuals even animals, all adapted to survive and to thrive efficiently.

Thank you 2020 for building Endurance: Not knowing we would come so far so swiftly with so many adjustments around. World continues its progress and recovery each day inch by inch to fight out this pandemic.

Thank you for the Wisdom: This year has seen maximum number of enrolments for on-line courses & classes, with zeal to learn more and gain more knowledge we made utmost utilisation of extra time in hand to hone new skill, do certifications, start new businesses and make most. Thank you 2020 for making us wiser this year by all means.

Thank you for teaching how to Acknowledge & Appreciate The Abundance of what we have: Seeing the pain of others up close and personal, made us realise how lucky we are with what we have. Counting our blessings and thanking for abundance is one of the most enriching experiences we discovered during these tough times.

Last but not the least, thank you for giving HOPE: While the world is fighting this fierce battle against COVID-19, we are close to making vaccination available for everyone. There is immense hope of a far better tomorrow than our yesterday and today. Hope for better economy, better opportunities, new and progressive avenues. Hope, the world of which we the people will learn from 2020 and continue our journey towards betterment in all aspects and make our planet more beautiful for generations ahead.

THANK YOU 2020, don’t worry its not your fault, this could have happened to any other calendar year.

Wishing everyone a Happier New Year!!
On The Other Side Of The Pandemic
Tags: Positive Thinking, 100 Days Writing, Hope, Pandemic, Covid 19

Day 37/100

This post is inspired by Seth Godin’s write up for today. While many of us have lost a lot during the course of this year, that is not the complete story. There is another side to the pandemic.

A lot of productive work was done this year. People pulled up their individual and collective strength and did a lot of impossible tasks. Migrant labourers were fed, online classes were held, offices shifted to the comforts of the home, frontline workers excelled in their services to the people.

We learnt that we could stay indoors for months together, if need be. We realised that remote work was possible. We could save the environment by choosing not to go out. The earth breathed, the birds sang.

We learnt a huge lesson in compassion by helping our neighbours and friends if they tested positive for COVID. We helped house helps by paying them extra. We wore masks and sanitized ourselves — health took a priority.

Of course, there were aberations; nothing is perfect in this world, isn’t it? Yet, let us not forget that while many lost people, many added a new member to their families this year. Marriages were held, students graduated, milestones were celebrated-- nothing stopped completely. It felt that all was not lost, after all. Of course, this year will go down history where all public celebrations went online for the first time, but people embraced the 'new normal' and tried their best to get innovative to make the best of these celebrations. So along with destruction, in Seth Godin’s words, many new seeds were sown. Seeds, which will bloom after many years to tell the tale of man’s fight with the virus. Ultimately, we didn’t allow the virus to win over us and that is all that matters, isn’t it?
My Goals For 2021
Tags: Positive Thinking, Mindset, Happiness, Goals, 2021

‘New year new me’. Why don’t we just do it?

Image created by Neihmos (Writer)

For the first time in my life (I am 22 years old) I will take the quote ‘New year, new me’ to heart. I have decided to change myself for the better. Next year, around this time I want to look back and not regret a thing. In 2021 I won’t change my goals afraid I might not pursue them. I’d rather fail, make mistakes, and learn from them than not try at all. Here are my goals for 2021:

Graduate my Graphic Design course.

Moving abroad.

Reading 52+ books.

Get on a conversational level with the language I practice.

Forgive, Forget, Move on.

Opening an online webshop.

Grow out my hair.

In 2021 want to become the main character of the story that is my life.

What are your goals?
LAST FEW MAJOR STEPS OF FAILURE
Tags: Positive Thinking, Daily Blog, Brain, Succession Planning, Failure To Success

LAST FEW MAJOR STEPS OF FAILURE

25). POSSESSION OF POWER THAT WAS NOT ACQUIRED THROUGH SELF EFFORT- (Sons and daughter's of wealthy men and others who inherit money which they did not earn). Power in the hands of one who did not acquire it gradually, is often fatal to success. QUICK RICHES are more dangerous than poverty.

26). INTENTIONAL DISHONESTY- There is no substitute for honesty. One may be temporarily dishonest by force of circumstances over which one has no control, without permanent damage. But, there is NO HOPE for the person who is dishonest by choice. Sooner or later, his deeds will catch up with him and he will pay by loss of reputation and perhaps even loss of Liberty.

27). EGOTISM AND VANITY- These qualities serve as red lights which warn others to keep away. THEY ARE FATAL TO SUCCESS.

28). GUESSING THE INSTEAD OF THINKING- Most people are too indifferent or lazy to acquire FACTS with which to "OPINIONS" created by guesswork or snap-judgments.

29). LACK OF CAPITAL- This is a common cause of failure among those who start out in business for the first time, without sufficient reserve of capital to absorb the shock of their mistakes and to carry them over untill they have established a REPUTATION.

30). UNDER THIS, name any particular cause of failure from which you have suffered that has not been included in the foregoing list.

In these thirty major causes of failure is found a description of the tragedy of life, which obtains for practically every person who tries and fails. It will be helpful if you can induced someone who knows you well to go over this list with you and help to analyze you by the thirty causes of failure . It may be beneficial if you try this alone. Most people cannot see themselves as others to see them. You may be one who cannot.

Goodbye 2020

As a freelancer! In twenty years of theatre, I have not been brought to my knees so efficiently and effectively. And I crawled, for survival. Had my creativity on overdrive. Never have I fought to earn every Rupee. Fought to make my existence meaningful. I did all that, and more…! No, the pandemic is not over yet. Maybe it will get worse in ‘21! Maybe it won’t! But it doesn’t really matter. I have learnt to play the game with my eyes closed! So here’s what I did…

Travelled to beautiful beautiful Udaipur in Jan to attend a good friend’s wedding. (That was the only travel I did). Otherwise ‘travelled’ extensively through the collective memories and sharing of others on social media. Theatre thrived — Conducted 15 online Playback Theatre performances, created three new workshops online (Celebrating You, Online Performer’s Playback Theatre workshop & The Courage Series), facilitated 30 online workshop sessions for children with Autism, conducted 25 other workshops, facilitated one online Playback Theatre performance for senior citizens, organized 7 Listening circles & created a pan-Indian online Playback community. Feeding my soul — Rescued a kitten - ‘Hope’ who was stuck in a drainage pipe. Fed & nurtured 2 cats and 8 kittens (Tintin, Snowy, Orange 1, Orange 2, Whitey, Hope, Orange 3, Blacky, Spotty & Swami.) Raised 1 Lakh for an NGO — Diya Ghar, working with children of migrant labourers. Flirted with Yoga, but it didn’t last beyond a point. The terrace became the new playground and I attempted stretching, running and brisk walking there. But despite everything, I stayed healthy. Started cooking…and the journey has just begun! Watched tonnes of movies and web-series. Professionally set off on my journey as a dream interpreter. Worked on myself. Went through therapy, attended contemplation based workshops & continued to practice Reiki. Used art, journaling and other exercises to help find my grounding. As a result, my emotional well-being was good throughout. Received a gift of an ‘Accelerated Learning’ online workshop, conducted by The Learning Gym. I learnt how to integrate technology into my online workshops. My gratitude to Honey, Melanie and Shilpa. Stood up for my values and cut ties with people who didn’t share the same. It was painful, but necessary for my personal growth and the growth of the group. Listened more to my intuition. Didn’t follow daily stories of Corona. Avoided newspapers and the television. Connected extensively to a circle of nourishing, positive and vibrant people through Playback Theatre, conversations and great vibes. Kept my mind positively occupied. Let go of old stories. Healed old wounds. Approached life with more compassion and love. Adapted and aligned with the journey and the times.

Much gratitude…
How I stopped sabotaging myself — for good.

It’s funny how many among us think they are doing the best they can to improve their lives when they actually aren’t.

That was me, before the whole Covid-19 situation, before the lockdown — before I was forced to cohabit with my thoughts and thought I was going crazy by the day.

Do you find yourself in what I’m describing?

Good. Because I’m about to explain to you just how I learned to be at peace with my mind, to shut my brain down, to stop screwing up and — to start doing stuff that matters to me to the core.

With pen in my hand



I was pondering on what to write



Then I thought to first pen



All the blessings



God has bestowed on me.



I thought I will finish in no time.



And set my pen on other topic.



But I am still writing !!

Stop whining and just be it already.

Most Wednesdays, I share a quote that stood out to me and a bite-sized motivational note. However, today’s quote doesn’t need any commentary. It’s straight to the point.

“F*cking hell. Stop whining and just be it already. Be f*cking awesome. Nobody’s going to give you the gift of awesome. Nobody’s going to make you good, or great, or amazing, or epic. Nobody’s going to make you an expert or an authority or a voice anyone should listen to. Nobody’s going to level you up. If you want that next level, take it. Take it for yourself. Grab it. Become it. Claim it,” said Johnny Truant, author of the ebook The Universe Doesn’t Give A Flying F*ck About You.

2020: Through rose-colored glasses
By: Manaswini Das
Tags: Positive Thinking, Open Source, 2020, Optimism

It’s been around 8 months now since we have been working from home. When I started initially, it felt like it would be a few months, and then everything would be back to normal. But we all know what happened at the very end! It wasn’t all blues, don’t you agree? 2020 did unleash a lot of creativity, be it memes or hobbies, and not to forget, the sudden boost to our vocabulary with new terms like quarantine, social distancing, etc. To be honest, I had never come across such creative memes in the past. Sometimes, the boundaries between work and life diminished. While some businesses suffered a hard blow, 2020 gave many impetuses to some companies for whom the future seemed dwindling.

Picture courtesy: Funny.pho.to

As it is rightly said, this is not a year to think about what one didn’t get, but to pause, breathe, and be grateful for all the things we possess. We started to find new ways to be creative and break the drudgery of routine. We started warming up to all the hobbies buried deep within the sands of time, citing “lack of time.” So yes, this emphasized one thing, that we can adjust and thrive despite all circumstances. This year made us realize that being alone doesn’t mean being lonely and sad. Still, it can lead to finding inner peace and reconciling themselves to their lot(the ones who stayed alone all this while can relate).

There were times when some things looked impossible without the presence of humans in the past. Still, as times changed, we were forced to do the same stuff without human existence, of course, in more innovative and creative ways. One of them being conferences. A lot of conferences went online. I attended PyCon India Virtual this October and volunteered at the Pyladies booth. We had a PyCon Diversity and Inclusion track and many women speakers on board. All the speakers were from diverse backgrounds ranging from open source to leadership to research fellows. I was thrilled to have gotten a chance to lend my ears to all those inspiring women from varied spheres. For one, I didn’t know we had so many among us out there who have been in this industry for a long time. Access all PyCon India Virtual talks here.
These 8 Thoughts Disappear When I’m Feeling Confident And At My Best
By: Cal Axe

“Watch your thoughts, they become your words Watch your words, they become your actions, Watch your actions, they become your habits, Watch your habits they become your character, Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.” -Lau Tzu

The saying means our thoughts become our reality.

What does this have to do with confidence? After all, the saying “watch your thoughts, they become your words” is an admission of our shortcomings — that our thoughts aren’t always confident by nature.

That’s the point! No one is perfect. Our minds flip through doubts like super bowl ads while we sit on the couch waiting for the game to start.

I’m most confident when I’m present and engaged in the task at hand — I’m not dwelling on the past, dreaming about the future, or doubting my actions.

I don’t know about you, but the following thoughts disappear when I’m at my best. That doesn’t mean I never have them, but progress means recognizing negative self-talk so we can start to untangle their true meaning.

I untangle each of those thoughts here.
Do you think that changing your lifestyle can result in your productivity?

Tags: Positive Thinking, Rbk

changing my lifestyle can absolutely result in my productivity in a good way, of course only if my change was positive … if i quit doing boring stuff and repeating the same thing each day my lifestyle will change and I will be productive more than ever, staying away from corrupted society and negative minds made me look at life from a different point of view and I love the person that I’m becoming , I used to wake up late ,go out meeting the same faces doing the same activities like I’m trapped in a circle same energy nothing interesting like a robot . now I wake up every day early with a positive mindset doing my best to become a better version of myself for me, and I’m starting to feel productive in a good way learning new stuff and talking about interesting subjects , doing activities that keeps my mind active . so from my perspective I think that changing my lifestyle results in being productive and keeps my brain active all the time even when I’m asleep :) .

It’s Up To You | Note 172
By: Sincerely Tam
Tags: Positive Thinking, Decisions, Personal Development, Self Improvement, Personal Growth

What if I tell you it’s your decision to make?

I was reading a book, and just when I started to dose off, I read the line, “if your life is to mean something, it’s up to YOU.” I immediately perked up right before my head did that all familiar jerk — you know that jerk when you know you should rest your head on the pillow, but you’re trying to stay up.



That one line hit me hard. Not as if I didn’t already know, but it was like that feeling when someone explains something to you, and it’s not until the third time the person repeated themself that you had the aha moment.



It’s up to you, I said out loud. It’s up to you. It’s always been up to you.



I’m thankful that I’m not a person who passes blame. For the most part, I’ve always accepted responsibility for everything that has occurred in my life. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not perfect. My parents weren’t perfect. My life has been full of challenges I’m not sure I will ever share. I’ve done things that I’m not proud of. However, I’m not embarrassed by them either. Why it’s part of life. You do sh*t you don’t have any business doing until you realize you shouldn’t. You realize it’s up to you not to.

Today’s Note: It’s Up To You

What if I tell you it’s your decision to make? Not your parents, not your friends, not your sister, brother, husband, psychiatrist, counselor, or some random stranger you’ve shared your life story with.



It’s up to you. If you like the path your life is on. Good. Good for you. Keep going.



The next move you make is up to you. If you are unhappy with where you are, you can keep going or take a different path. Whatever you decide, it’s up to you.



When you really think about it, all of it, everything, whatever you do, what you’ve done, what you don’t do, it’s up to you.

Today is a rainy day

a cool, gray,

and a beautiful day

why people don’t like

rainy days

I wonder

The sound of the rain

hitting on the roof

raindrops running

down the windows

and running over

the ground like cats and dogs

the scent of wet soil

lightning and thunders

striking from the sky

the dance performed

between the wind and the trees

Today is a rainy day

a day to enjoy

before the manifestation

Why Thinking About Clouds Can Help You Keep Your Head Up

Why Thinking About Clouds Can Help You Keep Your Head Up

Photo by Dominik Dancs on Unsplash

This morning I returned to my freezing flat in London following a three-week trip home to the States for the holidays. As I’ll be quarantining for the next two weeks (or until I can procure one of these ever-elusive Covid tests), it feels like an appropriate time to write about a subject I’ll be resigned to observing exclusively through the windows of my apartment for the time being. Clouds.

“Clouds are an invitation to be awed by something so common, everyday, and mundane. It’s an exercise in bringing to the foreground what is generally in the background.” — Gavin Pretor-Pinney

You see, the thing about nature is that it has the incredible ability to do it all. Thunderous storms that go on for days, with enough sheer force to wipe out power across huge cities and bring down thousand-year-old trees without so much as merciful second-glance.

Summer days so hot and unrelenting that the rubber soles of your shoes begin to merge with the asphalt of the parking lot, and your skin, dewy and damp with trailing beads of forehead sweat, bringing to the forefront of your mind, the unsettling fact that you are, indeed, made of cookable meat.

And then there’s snow, and ice, and hail, and rain — and a cold so bitter your bones ache like a bad tooth after dessert. In all these ways and more, nature can be brutal, terrifying, and often deadly.

But then there’s the other side of things, too. For the chaos of the Yin, there must also be the order of the Yang, and so it goes that it’s also within the capability of nature to be soft, kindly, and forebearing.

The gentle sway of the tree-tops following the trespass of silent breeze, the pale glow of stray sunbeams filtering through the spring canopy, reflecting on the white rocks of a nearby chattering stream.

Salty air that kisses sandy lips, characterized by a humidity that sits heavily in the space above the quietly lapping waves; waves that are controlled by the still and soundless moon, waves that have no ulterior motive than to peacefully submit to the tide.

The buzz of a tiny hummingbird as it floats with wings that flutter 80 times in every second, and flits across an open sky in search for sweet nectar.

These are all ordinary details of nature we have the extraordinary privilege of bearing witness to. Just so long as we care to take the time, that is. This is precisely where looking at the clouds comes in for me, and I’ll tell you why.
Don’t feel sorry for yourself
By: Lara Starcevich
Tags: Positive Thinking, Psychology, Writing, Poetry, Self Improvement

Poetry

Don’t feel sorry for yourself

it’s easy to feel sorry for yourself

what’s harder is to feel sorry for somebody else

and realize that you don’t have it so bad.

that is the mental trick

that you need to repeat over and over

to get through life.

it’s raining

and i’ll probably be spending christmas alone

but

i’m kinda glad

because at least my family is safe

and at least i have my animals

and at least i have a roof over my head

and at least i am alive

and i found a place

where no one can tell me what to do or think or how to behave

it’s my home

and if i want to feel sorry for myself i can

but what i’d rather do with whatever time i have left on this planet

is write

and try to let somebody else know

that they are not the only one with thoughts that don’t always add up to jack squat.

If People Only Knew…

Extreme pleasure filled me this morning while dreaming. So much pleasure I woke and flowed in between stunningly beautiful and fulfilling dreams. Waking from them I felt the joy of them, the camaraderie between me and angels, most of whom were female.

So many dreams I experienced, revealed in, went back into, experienced more, then woke again in peace and clarity. Love, certainty, love, being seen, love, and being known, cared for, attended to, accompanied…so many positive experiences…

Experiences people expect from other people; boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives, pale in comparison to these experiences. If they only knew the real, lasting, unwavering unconditional love of their ongoing now origin!

“Positive” doesn’t capture the richness of experience, emotion or immersion, nor does it approach how delighted I feel right now, feeling this while watching and feeling these words flowing through my fingers, falling short of describing how I feel, what I’ve experienced, what I know.

What’s really cool now is, nearly every day, every morning, this happens. Weeks ago I wanted to savor every ecstatic instance. Scarcity and fear fueled that desire. I thought such experiences wouldn’t last. Several weeks later they still come, their ecstasy overflowing, overwhelming, washing over me like waves crashing upon uninhabited, unexplored treasure islands.

My desire shifted from savoring born of scarcity, to savoring in their abundance while expecting, believing, knowing…such experiences know no end.

Like my life knows no end.

So my delight continues, ever delighting me, leaving me in stupendous awe at life’s paradoxical yet real-as-fuck dual-and-yet-not dual reality. Physical and nonphysical known by me as one continuous reality.
Healthy life stubs

Life is glamorous. Life is the most expensive gift of God. Life is a jewel of ornaments whose worth is immeasurable. Life shows all its colours and shadows which may be dark and bright.

But because of some reasons, we all forget the actual meaning of life.

I always wondered we all need good advice to make our life fascinating and healthy. I am here with some healthy and positive tips which change your life completely.

Positive mindset.

Don’t react to those, who don’t like you.

Respect, those who care for you.

Accept your mistakes.

Crying and feeling distressed is fine.

Always running around with friends is not necessary.

Give time to yourself.

Never disrespect your parents.

Always be kind to others.

Enjoy the way you want.

Pray to God for strength and patience.

One day everything will be fine.

Start working on your weaknesses.

Your career and passion is your main priority.

No matter what others are doing, you don’t need to spoof them.

Believe in miracles.

Stay strong and stay delighted.

Read and watch reasonable stuff.

Make healthy connections.

Carry the learning attitude.

Having a bad day is not fine.

Learn new things because you never get old for learning new things.

Don’t compare yourself to anyone, because you are special too.

It’s your life and makes your own choices.

Believe in yourself, because you are great.

Life is to disregard and free. Move forward with faith and belief then only we can realize our dreams. Life will truly unfold its magic and bring good luck and happiness.

Be happy constantly.

To quote or not to quote, that is the question.

To quote or not to quote, that is the question.

The ability of a quote to both captivate and resonate is priceless and something that can live with you forever.

The definition of Quotation — a group of words taken from a text or speech and repeated by someone other than the original author or speaker.

I’ve previously written about Stoicism and my appreciation for the work of Ryan Holiday. The Stoic philosophers were masters in using the power of words to both captivate and inspire.

For me, the power of quotation has played a massive part of my life this past year. All of us will have suffered our fair share of anguish and grief in 2020 due to a number of factors, including Covid. However, I’ve tried to remain positive and look to the future and maintain an outlook which tries to focus on that which I can control.

I feel this has been made somewhat easier by using the power of quoting others , which has enhanced my thinking and also given me something to resonate with. This year, specifically since March when the pandemic hit, I’ve read more than I ever did in the past. This has brought me tremendous pleasure and also a lot of value. During these months, I’ve kept what I call a productivity journal to write down quotes and sayings from said books, and articles, as a reminder and something I can return to on a regular basis to bring development and growth.

Recently, I’ve seen more people using words as a positive method of communicating when, at times, there has been a lot of negativity and scepticism in the world. I’ve actually found Twitter to be such a place where I’ve removed a lot of the media and current affairs I was following and now follow people who use the power of words to inspire and motivate. A few people/handles I would recommend you check out on Twitter include ‘War of Weakness’, ‘Danny Miranda’, ‘Gal Shipira’ and ‘Mackenzie Smith’. What I’ve enjoyed about following these people is they’re trying to enrich the world and are doing so by using the medium of words and the power of positive reinforcement. I believe we all need some sort of support network which we can lean on and also use in times of difficulty or crisis. For me, this has been using powerful quotes and sayings as such a reminder.
1 thing you need to be happy in your life

Gratefulness — You can be grateful at anytime of the day, no matter what the situation is. Being grateful at least once in a day can cause positive energy to flow through you which can ultimately lead you to have a better perspective of your life.

You can make it a habit daily to be thankful for one good thing that happened to you. It could be anything, be thankful for the good friend that you have in your life, or your co-worker, or your family. You do not need a set time to think about all these things, you could be driving to work or getting ready for your bedtime or could be enjoying your own company.

Always be thankful for the life that you are living right now, because remember, there is always someone out there who is having worse than you are.

Stay Positive! Be thankful!

Depression is usually caused by a sudden feeling of sadness that is caused by some of the events that the person is going through as well.

It's basically mood disorders that cause an individual constant sadness and loss of interest, it usually affects how we are going to think, how we are going to act, how we are going to behave as well that could lead to emotional problems and social problems as well.

Covid pandemic has created a lot of fears among the people in your surrounding and it has created a lot of problems in the lives of the people as well which creates the depression actually for them.

There are some of the problems such as changing sleep pattern, feeling worrying about your own health as well as others in this pandemic, facing difficulty on concentrating on studies and many others problems that is happening as well.

There are some of the ways which could help us to cope with the problems as well such as take care of our health, emotional health, and our body, furthermore, take special care of reading, writing or listening to the news on television

Most important is that be kind to yourself and others in your surrounding while in a depressed situation, talk to family members and friends if you are going through any stressful situation as well, remember, it is important to share because it will ease your mind and must have a faith that the time will pass quickly, thinking about positive or worse is choice as well, so have faith to think good thoughts as well.

It really is an exceptional time to be alive.

There are ten days left in 2020. Coincidentally, today is the shortest day of the year and the day two planets will travel together across the sky.

Today is a special day.

Today is the start of your best week ever.

Today is the start of your best year, best decade, and the rest of your life.

Now is a better time than ever to identify your dreams and devise a plan to achieve them. Today is the day to leave all the negative stuff behind. Today is the day Jupiter and Saturn will appear as a single, glowing star.

The last time there was a Jupiter and Saturn conjunction was in the year 2000. This conjunction happens every 20 years; however, it is the first time the two planets will be this close since 1623. This occurrence coincides with the Winter Solstice, the longest night and shortest day of the year for those in the Northern Hemisphere. The December solstice marks the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere and the longest day in the Southern Hemisphere.

What’s that you say? Well, let’s say today is a spectacular day.

It really is an exceptional time to be alive. So just for a moment, forget everything that has happened. Focus on the things you want to create. Let today be your best day ever. Today is The Great Conjunction and Winter Solstice.

What am I doing here?

Recently, I completed my Masters degree. I began this process, put it on hold, cycled back to it — a route familiar to parents when you ask your toddler to put their toys away: the path led to anywhere but the desired destination, and much of the time a greater mess made.

Now, I am here. I have reached my “destination”. But, have I? As the saying goes, “life is not about the destination, it’s about the journey” — it’s true. When you grant yourself some grace to reflect on this, it holds more weight than overindulgence at a holiday meal. Weight that is satisfying when you take in the whole picture, especially with the company surrounding you. This, a revelation we now experience with profound gratitude during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The real destination is a place of fulfillment and appreciation; a space that we can live in and embrace every day. What I thought to be my destination, is just a rest stop along the way. I have to tell you, at this rest stop — the completion of this degree — the vantage point is quite spectacular. It is important to give pause on the journey: time and space to reflect, learn and with that, an opportunity to apply that learning: evolving and impacting those in our vicinity.

The real destination is a place of fulfillment and appreciation; a space that we can live in and embrace every day.

The view is comprised of a sense of accomplishment and an inspiring community of people with messages that resonate so profoundly; they are in fact life changing. “Keep your priorities, your priority” (Bev McPhee) is one I hold onto, and has, in-part, inspired this blog. I’ll dive into that in another post, until then, I invite you to reflect on what those words mean to you.

My research explored performance management systems to foster a positive organizational culture. This process afforded me an opportunity to walk into a 360 degree mirror and not cringe at the reflection, rather embrace it. My hope is that this blog provides a channel to continue to explore, embrace and contribute to the possibilities of a positive influence that is greater than my bubble.

2020 is a year which has now become a descriptor and an explanation into itself. If through a small post, or two, hopefully a few dozen more (eventually), I can cast more positivity into the world — that is a contribution I will embrace. So, that’s what I am doing here… thanks for stopping by.

With grace, gratitude and light, wishing you well.
It’s A Beautiful Day To Start..

People often, when struggling to break out of unhealthy habits or cycles, procrastinate heavily. They wait for a certain event to happen or for something to change before they start. Some with a fear of failure, have an exact idea or plan ready to be set into action. Others with heavy anxiety or pressure being put onto them, are forced into doing it, not always completing it. Or others who just sit around and wait. See, these habits are just as bad.

Motivation is one of the key components to start doing something. Whatever the motivation may be, for example, it could be uplifting quotes giving positive energy, positive affirmations or quite simply, just doing it. However, not all the time do you need ‘motivation’, you need mental preparation.

By clearing your mind, you are able to focus on what is right in-front of you; this task. For me personally, today I am very sick with a heavy cold. However, after laying in bed just clearing my thoughts, I got up, and spent the day tidying my house. It took some effort and most of the day but the results were so satisfying!

So please, just do it. There may not be a tomorrow, so just do it now!
Brilliant!!

Because if there’s anything I learned in 2020, it’s that life can change hard and fast. In those moments, separating your “story” from “reality” can help you mentally navigate those challenges. By seeing your unique situation with clarity and objectiveness, it can help you make the best decis…
THE MAJOR CAUSES OF FAILURE.

THE MAJOR CAUSES OF FAILURE.

HOW MANY OF THESE ARE HOLDING YOU BACK ?

Life's greatest tragedy consists of men and women who earnestly try and fail!

There are thirty major reasons for failure and principles through which people accumulate fortunes . A description of the thirty major causes of failure will be given . As you go over the list , check yourself by it, point by point, for the purpose of discovering how many of these causes-of-failure stand between you and success.

1). UNFAVOURABLE HEREDITARY BACKGROUND.- There is but little, if anything ,which can be done dor people who are born with a deficiency in brain power. This philosophy offers but one method of bridging this weakness- through the aid of the MASTER MIND. Observe with profit, however, that is the ONLY one of the thirty causes of failure which may not be easily corrected by any individual.

2). LACK OF A WELL-DEFINED PURPOSE IN LIFE.- There is no hope of success for the person who does not have a central purpose, or definite goal at which to aim. Ninety-eight out of every hundred had no such aim.perhaps this was the MAJOR CAUSE OF THEIR FAILURE.

3). LACK OF AMBITION TO AIM ABOVE MEDIOCRITY.- We offer no hope for the person who is so indifferent as not to want to get ahead in life and who is not willing to pay the price.

4). INSUFFICIENT EDUCATION.- this is a handicap which may be overcome with comperative case . experience has proven that the best-educated people are often those who are the known as "SELF MADE", OR "SELF EDUCATED". IT takes more than a college degree to make one a person of education Any person who is educated is one who has learned to get whatever he wants in life without violating the rights of others.Education consists, not so much of knowledge effectively and persistently APPLIED. Men are paid,not merely for what they know,but more particularly for WHAT THEY DO WITH THAT WHICH THAY KNOW.

5). LACK OF SELF-DISCIPLINE- DISCIPLINE comes through self-control. This means that one must control all negative qualities. Before you can control conditions, you must first control yourself. Self-mastery is the hardest job you will ever tackle. If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.you may see at one and the same time both your best friend and your greatest enemy, by stepping in front of a mirror.
