Happy New Year 2022

By M-Power

In my Merry Christmas Email (and I hope you all had a Merry Christmas), I talked about The Feeling of Christmas. The Feeling is something I write about in Chapter 3 of my book, Pathological Positivity.  The Feeling is a universally sought-after emotional state. We seek love, why? To have The Feeling.

The difference is few people get to see us perform in a given role and rarely do we set out to perform with the thought of getting an award for our work and efforts. Despite the fact that fame and fortune are probably not in our future, we have other reasons to perform well at our jobs, and relationships. We all have reasons for trying our best at the roles we take on. Some will say they are seeking pleasure, satisfaction, happiness, contentment. Whatever you call it, people want “the feeling.” Why do you strive for money? The feeling. For love? The feeling. For respect? The feeling. We want the feeling that life is good and we are good at life. One a recent YouTube episode, I shared three ways to improve your performance. These general…
