Someone had a good idea last week about making a kindness post.
Fundamentally, it is important to build communities and institutions through affirming actions and efforts. A forum devoted solely to bitching and complaining will never work, and could potentially toxify (though in our case I doubt it would be too bad because you all are capable of self-regulating).
That being said, I like the idea of making one post every week that is specifically devoted to, not simply good news, but good affirmations to each other.
Please post positive things in this particular thread. Also, feel free to ping other users with compliments, kindness, and affirmations.
Think of it as a morale building exercise!
Just wanted to say, back in December I went for a pre-learner course to get my learners license for a motocycle, as that's required here. Completely failed as I didn't have control of the bike. Went for 2 one-on-one courses, learned to control the throttle and the clutch and actually passed the assessment last week. This isn't to brag but rather to point out that dedication can eventually teach you things, it's only your mind making excuses for not doing something.
Awesome! Good Job!
You can always improve yourself, no matter how hard the challenge.
