Whether you consider yourself a "people person" or not, the fact is that we need people to accomplish anything in our world. Even with all of the advances in automated technology, it was people who created it, and people who continue to coordinate it. It's because of people that this technology is needed, and it's … Continue reading People

Visit
It's like a real science fiction movie out there. People are glued to tiny little screens. They'd rather live inside those screens than interact with the real-life people in their world. But, those real-life people have an expiration date. Especially the older and more dear ones you know, who have lived a whole full life … Continue reading Visit
Kindness
Kindness is the way to save the world. People may not deserve your kindness, but they need it, desperately. That's why one of the greatest teachers in history insisted on spreading kindness, even though they still crucified him. It seems like these days even your neighbors seem unworthy of kindness. But the only way to … Continue reading Kindness
Goodwill
If you're like a lot of people, you believe that this world needs humanity to show more acts of goodwill with each other. So, what's stopping you from setting an example? Be the change that you want to see in the world. Consciously extend goodwill to your fellow man. After all, someone has to get … Continue reading Goodwill
Under the Same Moon
How can we seem to be living in entirely different worlds from each other when we're all really just on the one planet, under the same moon? The truth is, it is one planet with billions of people, and just as many different perspectives. That can be an excuse for divisiveness and separate agendas. And … Continue reading Under the Same Moon
Care
The cool thing now, seems to be to show that you don't care. To show that you are so unbothered by anything to let it stop you from racing ahead in life. But, the truth is that you are not without feelings, and that race you think you're on is an illusion. Also, you wouldn't … Continue reading Care
Who Can Help
All of the technology and things that are automated in our daily lives are a real blessing. But, we still need people, we still need each other to get through life. And that's wonderful, because we are all connected. So, when it comes to thinking through issues in your life, it might be wise to … Continue reading Who Can Help
Greatness
A simple description of greatness, is being interested enough in other people to be the best version of yourself possible, so that it not only benefits others, but inspires them to do the same thing. And so greatness gets paid forward. And so on, and on.
United
We may seem divided on the surface, but that's just the surface. Looks can be deceiving. The truth is, that no matter how many superficial differences people can concoct, underneath it all we are all united as the same human race. We are all connected and share the same basic human experience. That really should … Continue reading United
Interesting
The key to being interesting to other people, is to show interest in them first. People bond over a common cause, and the most compelling cause for someone is themselves. Show interest in that, and you'll have them showing real interest in you.
Universal
There are so many differences between people, and the divide seems to only get wider. But there are some things that are so universal that we all have them in common, no matter where we're coming from. A smile is the universal language of kindness. Laughter is the universal language of joy. Dance is the … Continue reading Universal
Cooperation
The fact is that we need each other to move forward in this life. We need to cooperate with each other, rather than fight against each other. It's like the image of a thread, which isn't very strong on its own, and can break easily. When multiple threads are woven together, they form a strong … Continue reading Cooperation
Nobody’s Judging
It may be hard to believe, but people aren't watching and judging you as much as you think they are. We all tend to think we are the center of the Universe. And in some respects, we are. We are the center of our own Universe. But, so is everyone else, respectively, with their own … Continue reading Nobody’s Judging
Intellect
A strong intellect is a powerful asset, but it's important to remember that people are emotional beings. Oftentimes it's best to honor your heart and pay attention to what your emotions are telling you in dealing with others. If you combine that with a sharply focused intellect, then you just may be unstoppable in your … Continue reading Intellect
Underneath
Underneath all of those labels we all pile onto ourselves, lies the same spark of life as everyone else. Underneath the categories of race, gender, nationality, religion, ideology, etc. we are all just people. It's those categories and labels that we use to judge each other with. And yet, none of us want to be … Continue reading Underneath
Everyone
Everyone has their own unique perspective. Everyone is unique, just like everyone else. It's a wonderful idea to remember when you need to find common ground with someone. The fact that they are living the human experience, just like you, with all of it's pain and glory should help you to relate. After all, everyone … Continue reading Everyone
Narrative
They say that people don't change, just like a leopard doesn't change its spots. But I believe you can change, it just takes a lot of self reflection and then dedication to the change. Our personalities are basically the result of the story we keep telling. It's the narrative of "who we are" that determines … Continue reading Narrative
Network
There's that old saying for business success, "it's not what you know, it's who you know." Your network is your most valuable asset. As it should be. People matter so much more than anything material. And when things take a dip, so to speak, it's your network that will be your saving grace. And things … Continue reading Network
Engaging
In order to appear engaging to others, you need to make an effort to be engaged with what's going on with them. In other words, you need to be interested in others, if you want them to care about whatever you have to offer. There's that old saying about catching more flies with honey than … Continue reading Engaging
Unity
I think the biggest scam going around, is the way people can so easily be convinced to forget that we are all connected. Just think about logistics here for a second. There are over seven billion of us: living, breathing, human beings. Yet we all have to share this one - fairly small, and extremely … Continue reading Unity
Folks
Our minds are powerful creative forces. What we think about with our minds is what we bring to us. What we focus upon expands. It's important to have an awareness of this, to think about what we do want, and to focus on all that is going right. Equally, we shouldn't waste any time on … Continue reading Folks
Start Believing
If you're looking for harmony with others, start believing that your interactions will be harmonious. If you're looking for respect from others, start believing that people do show respect. If you're looking for understanding from others, start believing that people are inherently understanding. As with everything we experience, our relationships with other people are first … Continue reading Start Believing
Words
I love words. Obviously, I do, as I'm a writer. But words can be used deceptively. A person's actions speak so much more clearly about their character than the words they use. And their energy is actually much easier to read. People can try to spin a story with their words, but if you pay … Continue reading Words
Integrity
I think one of the main reasons that animals are so appealing to us, is their pure integrity. They don't speak with words, so they don't lie. When they interact with people, they show us exactly how they feel about us, whether its favorable, or not. There's no subtext, no passive aggressiveness, no labeling, and … Continue reading Integrity
