List 10 things you know to be absolutely certain.

  • The sun will come out every single day🌞
  • Each day is a new one in which we are given the opportunity to choose the positive or the negative.
  • Prince Harry in his speech receiving the Pat Tillman Award is a good example of the benefits of choosing the positive even when a lot of negative is thrown at you.
  • For every action there is a reaction. How you choose to react is your choice. Harry’s reaction to Pat Tillman’s mother’s character assisination of him inspires and exemplifies how you have a choice to react positively to negatives.
  • Even in adversity, if we adopt the attitude of we are invictus, as Prince Harry consistently demonstrates to us, we can choose the positive and thus nurture our mental health.
  • Showing raw emotion is not a sign of weakness. Prince Harry has chosen to allow us to see his raw emotion and therefore humanity. This he did also as he accepted the Pat Tillman Award. And what a powerful and uplighting moment.
  • The positive and emotional reactions, world over, to Prince Harry’s speech as he received the Pat Tillman Award, reportedly 4.9 Millon views on social media so far and counting, confirm that we all need to feel part of a community, to be seen, to feel cared for and be loved; and we can choose to be.
  • Love is a good thing to choose to give and to receive. As wounded soldiers share about the impact of healing they have received and continue to receive through Prince Harry giving them his heart through his invictus games foundation.
  • When you don’t have sufficient information on a person or an issue, as was the case with Pat Tillman’s mother of Prince Harry, and you don’t have something positive to say, the best choice is SILENCE.
  • Staying silent when under provocation is a great lesson Prince Harry time and again has taught us. He didn’t rush to fuel the fire, but chose to silence critiques of him being the recipient of the Pat Tillman Award on a world stage, in a class act, exuding positive energy.
