Living in our current global society can sometimes feel like your living in the middle of a violent tornado. Especially after the devastating spike in mass shootings happening in the United States this year. I could go on a rant about that. But who do you think I am? …I already did on my Facebook page. So I am going to remain to my true self here. These are some things that I feel you will find helpful in trying to remain positive in a world of negativity.

It is important to realize that your dreams and aspirations are valid and deserve to become your reality. You mustn’t let the negative events of the world paralyze you from living the life you dreamed of.

I don’t think living a life of extremes is healthy. Often watching or reading the news it is all negative. It is important that we ensure we are filling our lives with positivity. By reading sites like HuffPost Impact, Upworthy, and BuzzFeed.

Decorate your life with things that inspire you and motivate you. Be it photos of loved ones, quotes, objects, or cats. I’m always here for cats.

As you go through your day it is important to realize that kindness is key. You never know the true impact of your smile. It has the power to turn someone’s entire day around and it costs you nothing. 

When we think of giving we think of money. I am the first to tell you that this papi has no coin to give. But you can give your time to organizations that move you, your love to those you cherish, and words to those who need them. 

Go out there and change the world because we all have the power to!

Inspirationally,

Nick
