As you look around you personal world and work life, is the environment you are in a positive culture? Are the people you are on the journey with leading to a more positive culture or just watching it form? In the big picture, each day is a flash of time. In the small picture each day needs to be more exciting than the last for we only have one option each morning when we wake to make that particular tick of the clock in time a positive moment.
As a baby begins to take their first steps and build confidence in the action of walking, so to must we take new and exciting steps to our next action of contribution. Standing on the sidelines watching has its place but being in the game and building your confidence adds so much more to the experience.
With the simple tick tock of the clock another year has come to pass and a New Year is opening up to all sort of new and interesting opportunities in our lives. Embrace the newness of 2021 by choosing to be part of the promise for better. Let your talents soar to their highest level of success. Allow for all the joy and happiness to engulf you so that you can ride the breeze of fun and fulfillment.
Christmas is upon us and we are filled with the promise of hope. What we all hope for is likely different but this season affirms that we all have the universal gift of hope to allow us to dream and then enjoy the journey we are on together.
Entering the holiday season invokes all kinds of emotions for people. Some with great joy and longing and others deep sadness. As we make our way through the next few weeks let us all keep in mind that one universal gift we all can give and like receiving is “Kindness.” Let me be the first to extend my thoughts of gratitude for you and hope that your days are filled with kindness.
As we enter the last days of 2020, it is a time of reflecting on all that has taken place in our world and our culture. The ups and downs of the pandemic and elections and how they have and will shaped our future. These short term elements of our culture will eventually seek and find their rightful place and influence.
When the word culture is spoken, many ideas bubble up in our minds. Maybe we think of culture based on ethnic foundations. Maybe we think of culture in terms of the environment in a business or group. Maybe we think of culture as the melting pot of many diverse people coming together in unity. What ever your picture of our culture, believe it is good and can be better for without a positive outlook for the future all of our visons of our culture will wither and dry up.
Ponder for just a moment all we have to be thankful for? Far beyond possibilities, we live at a time of abundance. Yes, the equity and spread of possibilities and abundance have disparities but in reasonable comparison to many cultures we have very little we do not have some access to. Leave no stone unturned as you seek out your possibilities and abundance.
In an age of technology where pc’s, smartphones, tablets, voicemail, texting and email bombard us with noise, all being represented as conversation. We owe it to ourselves to break free from the threads of short sentences and dive deeply into a one on one conversation with someone we love and cherish a relationship with. The discovery of conversation at a personal face to face level is amazing. So grab your favorite beverage and engage in real talk!
Waking in the morning to the fresh smells of breakfast. Wondering the beach talking to a good friend in the afternoon. Snuggling up with the special loved one in front of the TV for that evening movie. Approaching each moment of the day with great anticipation of living life to the fullest. This is what outstanding culture provides each of us to partake in. So go forth and enjoy the day!
