PF EXTRAS:

VISIONING: We’re excited to let you know that we are currently looking for a space for Positive Focus Place that will allow us to have a physical location for our events, workshops, services and a book store! Tax free donations will be used for this space along with our programming. Although we are in the incubator stage, it could hatch before you know it through intention, belief, and amazing possibilities! If you are interested in helping us manifest this vision, please email pf@positive-focus.com or click here to donate on our website.

Our Vision: To spread positivity globally through virtual and physical communities allowing people to see love over fear, abundance over lack, diversity over differences, and peace over conflict.
To inspire and empower each person we see through personal demonstration and shining a light to their inner power.
To see the world as 1 person 7 billion times rather than seeing the world as 7 billion people.
To be kind, compassionate, and have lots of fun and laughter along the journey.
To personally demonstrate a quote we hold close to our hearts:
“Be the change you want to see in the world.” ~ Gandhi

Positive Focus, a 501c3 non-profit organization headquartered in Chicago, inspires and empowers people to live a life of fulfillment and positivity with unconditional joy, love and abundance through the provision of Service-Charity, Mind-Body-Spirit, and Fun-Social events, workshops, resources and services. For more information, visit: www.positive-focus.com.

Have a fantastic, positively-focused outlook, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Shantal and your PF Events Team

We are currently seeing the world’s greatest winter athletes live their dreams as they compete in the Olympics. They have trained for hours and hours a day, years upon years to realize their dreams and we get the pleasure of witnessing them. We literally put them on a pedestal and give them a bronze, silver, or gold medal to acknowledge their accomplishments. I admire their athleticism. I admire their perseverance and drive. Mostly I admire that they are living their dreams!

 You might not be a world class skier, or perhaps can’t even ice skate, but you can be a world class YOU! Take a moment and put your dreams and desires in your own Olympics. See yourself winning that gold medal for whatever your best life looks like. How does it feel to be on that stand with your friends and family cheering you on as witnesses to living an authentic life filled with love, laughter, health, abundance, and happiness. When you live your truth and not what you think others expect of you, you are a gold medalist! When you put your head on your pillow each night and can smile knowing you gave life your best, you are a gold medalist. When you can forgive yourself and others for possible missteps along the journey and get right back up to realize your best life, you are a gold medalist! All the Olympic athletes have fallen, have gotten hurt, have failed, have cried, and perhaps even wanted to quit from time to time. Yet each new they had to live their authentic selves and live that dream. Living your best life is truly golden to me.

AFFIRMATION: Each day I choose to show the world my very best.

(S)he Said:

“Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.” ~ Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

“More gold has been mined from the thoughts of men than has been taken from the earth.” Napoleon Hill

“One secures the gold of the spirit when he finds himself.” ~ Claude M. Bristol

Soulful Links:

Heart of Gold ~ Neil Young

Fields of Gold ~ Sting

Band of Gold   ~ Freda Payne

For the next week I invite you to be a gold medalist in your life by:

Appreciating the slips and falls along the journey as there is value in the contrasting experiences too. It’s easy to appreciate when you are winning your race, but appreciate that you participated whether you won or lost.

Loving what is, loving what was, and loving what will be.

Focusing on all the good in your life from the smallest events to the largest experiences as when you focus on goodness, more will come.

Mostly, my wish for you is a week to really become aware that you are an amazing person. There might be seven billion people in the world, but there is only one of you, so live it up, love it up, laugh it up.

Until next time, live your dream and wear your gold medal proudly.

 Keep living big, loving big, and laughing along the journey.

Love is in the air as Valentines Day approaches. Some people look forward to Valentine’s Day with excitement and anticipation on what their sweetie might get them; while others lament over the idea of not having a significant other to share the day with. Whether you are in a relationship, or single, you already have a valentine – and that is YOU! Look in the mirror and say, “will you be mine?” Will you choose to live your life fulfilled? Will you choose to see the greatness in you and let it shine for the rest of the world to see?
 
Regardless of the circumstances of your outer reality, inwardly is where love starts. Enjoy the perfection of your imperfections as there is only one you in the universe. Love where you’ve been as it’s brought you to today. Love where you are now as it will catapult you into tomorrow. Love where you are going as there is excitement in the journey as there is in the destination. Be your own best friend. Be your own valentine. Simply put – will you be mine?

 Affirmation: Today I choose love for myself, for others, and for life.

(S)he Said:

 “What you want to do, and what you can do, is limited only by what you can dream.” ~Mike Melville

 “When all’s said and done, all roads lead to the same end. So it’s not so much which road you take, as how you take it.” ~Charles de Lint

 “Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.” ~Oprah Winfrey

 “Many times a day I realize how much my own life is built upon the labors of my fellowmen, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.” ~Albert Einstein

 For the next week, I invite you to be your valentine by:
 
Seeing your individuality and being proud of what you bring to the table of life.
 
Appreciating past and present experiences as through appreciation life becomes full of love.
 
Believing in you! You are the star of your own movie of life, so go win the Oscar!
 
Mostly, my wish for you this week is to see the love that you have for others and shine it on yourself. :)
 
Until next time, share your heart with the world and your heart will be full of love.

 Keep living big, loving big, and laughing along the journey.
