Possibility of Positivity

The Positive Place Episode 30: Reflecting on Reflection. Have you ever looked in the mirror and worked to change the image it shows you by correcting the mirror? Well If you are like me you have, and as a result you changed things about the mirror only to have the image it reflects stay the exact same. However only once I realized that the mirrors job was to only reflect an image back to me, that I decided to not change the mirror but change the mindset, actions, and ultimately the image that it is reflecting. This message is designed to remind us that in order to change our lives and reflect the things that we desire, we must first change the core image that is being reflected. Throughout our life's journey this one constant will remain true, as the core image in your life's reflection will always be YOU!

This message is a reminder to encourage you to always be active in working to meet new people as a way of bettering yourself. As humans we are social creatures and our ability to thrive and succeed can be directly correlated to the relationships that we keep, and the people that we interact with. As a formal training resource I have created and acronym H.E.L.L.O which is designed to help you keep these 5 core values top of mind as you work to meet new people and reciprocate value in all of your endeavors. A closed mouth doesn't get fed, but if you are willing to open up simply start by saying hello.

The Positive Place Episode 28 - Happy Birthday to you! The experience of having that one day that we can connect to that makes it special for us to be alive is awesome.  Think of the feeling that your birthday brings, regardless of what age milestone you celebrate it is a great accomplishment to experience one more year of life. On this unique day we are able to reflect on our lives, and the distance we have come  through a celebration of our happiness. The word birth is defined as the beginning or origin of something. So regardless of what that “something” happens to be for you, today is the day of birth and beginnings for the rest of your life. Today is the day of birth for your ideas, your dreams, your goals, and your future. Today is the birth of change, new beginnings, forgiveness and whatever it is that you need most. 

Always remember to celebrate your life and believe that today is the birth of anything that you want to achieve. 

The Positive Place Episode 28 - Now or Never. 

This weeks message is created to assist us in our freedom crusade by serving to remind us to utilize the time that we have productively by enjoying the moment. The concept of "Now or Never" challenges us all to prioritize what is important in our lives, and figure out how to create sustainable action in that direction. The more we continue to develop and grow in the now, the more we remove the possibility of us never achieving a goal occurring. The only time that we continue to live in is "right now", and working to become your best "right now" will insure that you are prosperous in every "right now" of your life.

Do something now that your future self will be happy that you did!

The Positive Place Episode 27 - The Book of Life. 

What’s up though? I am excited to be with you another week as we come together to celebrate our freedom today.  This week’s message is a narrative titled “The Book of Life”.  In this story we learn about the journey of a young man and a book that has been created and handed down to him as a tutorial reference on how to live the “good life”. Through this story we are reminded that learning is a constant activity, that doesn’t come with an outline or manual that can be followed to achieve success. True success comes from writing the book of our lives page by page as we create our own success story, as this is the best way to insure that we are able to live happily ever after. 

The Positive Place Episode: 26 - Life's Operating System

Technology is all around us, and in someways has become an essential part of our daily lives. As a result there are constant downloads, updates, and fixes that are designed to improve systems and produce better results. In this message we discuss how updating the operating systems of our devices can correlate to our lives, and why we should constantly look for updates and fixes in effort to help us perform better. If your phone, tablet, or computer is updating its systems, processes, and applications constantly in order to operate at its best, then shouldn't we as people be doing the same?
 

The Positive Place Episode 25: Overcoming Fear. Have you ever been afraid? I have, and the way I have learned to overcome them is by leaning in and taking action. As we go through life our fears like many thing will change. The  good news is the process to overcoming a fear does not change, and our ability to experience and do the thing that makes us afraid is how we truly overcome it. When the truth is revealed fear is removed, and once our mind is made up about the positive outcome of a situation we will no longer be fearful of it. Learning to overcome our fears happens through learning to believe optimistically in ourselves.

The Positive Place Episode 24: Getting Over Being Disappointed 

This weeks message is a personal testimony describing a recent situation in which I had an unexpected audio/visual failure during my participation as a presenter at a TEDx event. What I learned through my experience is that acceptance of the situation, identifying what went wrong, learning to let it go, and finding the good that exists were key factors that helped me remove feelings of disappointment, and replacing them with confidence and appreciation of self. We must face the facts and understand that at times in life we may experience brief setbacks and disappointment. As they say "schyt happens", and when it does we must remember to flush the toilet and keep moving forward so that this too will pass. In the net sum of life it doesn't matter how many times you get knocked down, as the most important factor will be how many times you decide to get back up...Bounce Back!

The Positive Place Episode 23: This I Know

This weeks message is delivered in the form of an exercise that is designed to assist you to build confidence within yourself by confirming and affirming the things we know to be true.  All of us have a system of beliefs that govern how we act, react, and what we deem to be real. Our ability to question and state what we know allows us to learn new information, as well as relearn what we already know. Through this exercise we are able to grow in our self mastery as we boldly discuss our truths, and solidify them as a statement of our personal ethos by exclaiming "this I know".
