From Our Friend Peter Diamandis – “The People Environment and Media that Shape Our Mindsets”

Literally during the weekend of Newsletter writing/dictating/thinking… our friend Peter Diamandis nice blog hit our in box during a break from the writings….

We are really big fans as long time follower may know, these first two writings were done in 2015 after seeing Peter at a convention, prior to reading several of his books see our writings: HERE (2015), HERE(2015), HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, and finally HERE

From his blog as follows:

THE PEOPLE, ENVIRONMENT & MEDIA THAT SHAPE YOUR MINDSET

Here are the high points from the blog, but the above title is hot linked to the post…

1. Who You Hang Out With… Your Community

Have you heard the saying that you’re the average of the 5 people with whom you spend the most time? 

Curating your social group, who you’re hanging out with and who you’re having conversations with is critical. It’s one of the most important investments you can make in training an optimistic and Abundance Mindset—it shapes who you are and who you’ll become.

2. Your Physical Environment

The second key element that you can control as you develop your Abundance Mindset is your surroundings—everything from the music (harping on the 15 year old on this one) you listen to and the brightness of you room, to what you hang on your walls.

3. What You Watch & Read

Let’s now turn to the third element under your control—what you watch on TV or read in the newspapers.

Our version of this, is Breaking News… but you guys get the point….

Thanks Peter for a great rest from a lot of authorship this weekend!

Have a Great “Refreshed by Peter” Day!

Environmentally Sustainable ? Net Carbon Zero or Negative …What is it and what are Companies doing about it?

According to the United Nations (UN) World Commission on Environment and Development, environmental sustainability is about acting in a way that ensures future generations have the natural resources available to live an equal, if not better, way of life as current generations.

Here is a chart explaining, again from the UN …

Un Sustainable Chart

 

What Companies Are Embracing?

In the United States and abroad, many companies are not only embracing Environmental Sustainability but some are even vowing to reverse possible damages they may have done in the past making them Environmentally positive…

Tech Companies lead the way…but others are also following…

Microsoft committing to being carbon negative by 2030

Amazon committing to being carbon net zero by 2040

Ikea committing to being carbon negative by 2030

Apple committing to being net carbon zero by 2030

BP – yep British Pretroleum goal of carbon zero by 2050 !! Wow

Hey… will they all get there, maybe or maybe not…but what a great, good feeling, better future goal!

Have a Great “The Future is Bright and Environment is Better” Day!
