DAILY POSITIVE IMPACT – WHAT ARE YOUR SYMBOLS OF GREATNESS
All my life I have refused to be for or against parties, for or against nations, for or against people. I never seek novelty or the eccentric; I do not go from land to land to contrast civilizations. I seek only, wherever I go, for the symbols of greatness, and as I have already said, they may be found in the eyes of a child, in the movement of a gladiator, in the heart of a gypsy, in twilight in Ireland or in moonrise over the deserts.
– Robert Henri, The Art Spirit
Also my reflections on greatness including people I’ve interviewed — mountain climber Charlie Porter, Maine homesteader Bill Coperthwaite, and Hazrat Inayat Khan on the universe’s lights of different grades.

The focus of my Daily Positive Impact posts is captured in many studies:
–Witnessing acts of kindness produces Oxytocin, which aids in lowering blood pressure and improving our overall heart-health. Oxytocin also increases our self-esteem and optimism, which is extra helpful when we’re anxious or shy in a social situation: www.randomactsofkindness.org
–Stephen Post of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine found that when we give of ourselves, everything from life satisfaction to self-realization and physical health is significantly improved. Mortality is delayed, depression is reduced and well-being and good fortune are increased.
–In the 2016 article, “POSITIVE EMOTIONS AND WELLBEING,” by Marianna Pogosyan, Ph.D. she wrote, “The health benefits of positive emotions is well documented. They improve physical health. With frequent experience and expression of positive emotions comes resilience and resourcefulness.”
I hope, through the publication of positive stories and resources, to energize readers to take their own actions to make our world a better place. If you are already there, thanks!!
Have a healthy and impactful life, Peter Prichard CMF
