Can the positive shift keep going? Yes we can and One Love are themes of president-elect Barrack Obama and hopefully the years ahead.
Looking at both, togetherness seems to be the bond that ties. Can we get along? Can we take the time to listen and give eachother time to express ourselves. This may seem important to the country but it is also important on a more local level as well. It starts at home. We all need to feel like we matter. To be unified we must first come to understand ourselves. These two themes apply to self as much as they do to those around us.
Yes we can - an affirmative approach and positive outlook can drive us to realize more than we may with the alternate view. It’s easy to see the negative or reasons not to take action, but those views simply get in the way of action. Defeat without even making an attempt. Are you simply looking to reduce your effort? Making attempts requires taking action. It is much easier to sit back and say you can’t than it is to take the first step in achieving a goal. Persistence pays off, trying once may fail, but it is the decision to try again that separates the big fish from the little. In a study of high profile CEOs versus CEOs of lower performing companies, it was simply the number of decisions that were made that made a difference. It was not that they were correct more often, but that they made more decisions that separated the great CEOs from everyone else.
One Love - This too focuses on togetherness, however, love of self is truly important as well. How you see yourself heavily influences your view of how the world sees you. Perception is everything, if you see yourself as worthy of love or unworthy of love, you will be seen in that way. Focus on your own view of yourself before taking the “judgment” of others too harshly. There are many ways to achieve this, yoga, meditation, affirmations, all of which can help you feel more connected to your own thoughts and therefore help you better connect with the world around you.
