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

Kind-hearted
With all of the issues plaguing the planet right now, the thing that is needed the most, is for more people to embrace being kind-hearted. We don't need more ruthlessness. We don't need more clever fighters. We need kind-hearted people. All of the wars and famines and crises of the world are because of all … Continue reading Kind-hearted
Utility
Something has "utility," when it provides value, like running water in a home. Each one of us provide utility to the world as a whole. We each have value because we're here. And, despite the current societal trend, we all need each other. There's a need for each and every person to add their value, … Continue reading Utility
Peace
We're all here for a reason, and for a responsibility to the whole, simply because we're here. We all have a part to play in bringing peace to the whole world. Peace begins within. We must find peace within ourselves, in order to bring it to the rest of the world. Imagine how peaceful the … Continue reading Peace
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
Peace
We are all connected. So, whatever is going on within you has an affect on everyone else on the planet. That's part of the whole being connected thing. And so, if you aren't feeling peaceful in your own life, there's no chance for peace in the world. It all starts with you. And me. And … Continue reading Peace
Guessing Game
Ultimately, life is a great big guessing game. Only a fool is fully certain, because that leaves no room for learning. And there's just too much we don't know yet to not have any room for learning. So, be okay with uncertainty, know that we're all just playing a guessing game, and aim to make … Continue reading Guessing Game
Small World
They say it's a small world, but to each of us it is the whole world. Truly, it's all relative. If the world is small to you, make the most of it. Realize that you can be at home anywhere. If the world is massive, think of it as a big playground, full of adventure. … Continue reading Small World
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
Out
A mind is a wonderful, helpful tool, but it isn't advisable to stay up in there for too long. The longer you stay hidden in your mind, the longer you miss out on living in the world. If you stay too long hidden in your mind, it will scare you into wanting to stay forever. … Continue reading Out
Help Someone
It's in fashion these days to notice all the problems of the world and to criticize everyone we can think of to blame for them. All this does is make us feel even worse. So, really, it's in fashion to feel low and work at feeling even lower. The only thing you'll get out of … Continue reading Help Someone
Ideas
Ideas are what move the world forward. And any one of us are capable of coming up with ideas, even world-changing kind of ideas. The key is to practice at it. Just like any other muscle, our idea "muscle" needs to be exercised to grow. The more you practice coming up with ideas on how … Continue reading Ideas
Care
It's become a common response to the noise and anger of society to pretend that you don't care. If you care, you're a fool. But perhaps all of that noise and anger is a response to a seemingly uncaring world. It just might be one of those Catch-22 things. We need to end the cycle. … Continue reading Care
Peace
We all want peace in the world. We want the freedom that comes from everyone getting along. In order for the outer world to have peace, we each need to cultivate peace within our own heart and mind. Peace begins within each of us. Our thoughts are more powerful than we realize. If we harbor … Continue reading Peace
Free Will
Just simply focus on what you are for. Turn away from what you are against. Focusing on what you are for empowers you. It energizes you, inspires you, and makes the world seem hopeful. Focusing on what you are against dis-empowers. It drains you of energy and drive, and makes the world seem dark and … Continue reading Free Will
Heal the World
We experience the world from our own perspective. And when we feel a strong need to fix something out there, it's really a reminder that we have something to address from within ourselves. Jesus spoke of this, when he said: "Before you attempt to remove a speck from the eye of another, take the log … Continue reading Heal the World
Unique Gift
There may be over seven billion people roaming about the planet right now, and then countless billions who have already come and gone, but even among all of those billions, there is no one else just like you. You are a unique gift to the world, and there will never be another you. You're special, … Continue reading Unique Gift
What’s Right
It's common to bond with each other over complaining about what's wrong with the world. But thinking about what's wrong, and then complaining about it is exactly how to perpetuate all that is wrong. We get what we think about. We create what we speak of. Jesus says: “Ask, and it shall be given to … Continue reading What’s Right
Respect
The way I look at it, when faced with a choice on whether to show respect for others or to bluntly insist that you are right, respect should always be the way to go. Our society is built in such a way that we need each other's cooperation in order for it to keep running. … Continue reading Respect
Perspective
I believe that because we each experience the world as filtered through our own perspective, that what we see is simply a result of what we are. Basically, if you think the world is full of liars, it's because you are a liar. If you can be convinced that something has a sinister ulterior motive, … Continue reading Perspective
Super
Empathy is a superpower. One that I believe we are all gifted with, but must each individually develop to it's full power. Empathy is the power that will heal the divide of our society. But just like we learn from all of those Marvel movies and CW shows, it takes bravery to stand up and … Continue reading Super
Contribute
When hoping to put some kind of offer out into the world, be it philosophy, artwork, or leadership, it can be seductive to get wrapped up inside analysis paralysis. Too much plotting and planning, analyzing how to go forward in the most perfect way, can have you end up, well frozen. Seth Godin recently said: … Continue reading Contribute
Change it
It seems to me that the worst part of standing around complaining about something is that you're wasting time convincing yourself how bad it is, rather than doing something to improve the situation. Complaining has actually been proven to be bad for your mental and physical health. It brings on all sorts of issues, like … Continue reading Change it
Better
We think everything happens out there, and that the world out there has too many things that need to be fixed. And it's a big world. And needing to fix such a big world makes it seem like a really big job. But it's important to remember that we each are a part of this … Continue reading Better
Thoughts
A Course in Miracles teaches that What you see reflects your thinking, and your thinking but reflects the choice of what you want to see. Our brains are these perfectly built machines with an elegant system for filtering information far better than any algorithm from a computer search engine or social media platform. Through the … Continue reading Thoughts
