What is your prophecy?
"If you don't fail, you did not try."
What does this mean for you?
What are you going to do with what you have?
"Taking a risk is about being open to people and ideas. The chances you take, the people you meet, the people you meet, the people you love, the faith that you have, that's what will define you."
What does it mean to Fall Forward?
Summer Celebration!
The last 1.5 years has brought challenges and obstacles we never would have imagined.
As we look ahead we can choose to find a perspective of celebration.
Watch the TEDx below and think about your perception. What lens will you choose for your life?
Celebrate What's Right With the World
Our vision controls our perception. Our perception becomes our reality.
The more I celebrate the best of humanity, the more I can see it.
Find a perspective that changes the ordinary to the extraordinary.
There is more than one answer.
Reframe obstacles into opportunities
Change your lens
Celebrating what is right is not a perspective that denies the very real pain and suffering that exists on this planet. Rather it's a perspective that puts those problems into a larger more balanced context. A context where we can see there is far more right in this world than what is wrong.
Celebrating what is right gives us the energy to find that next right answer.
What is your touchstone to remind you to celebrate what is right with the world?
