ABOUT US
THE ROAD TO HAPPINESS IS PAVED WITH POSITIVITY
Our hope is that this serves as a community center that gives a counterbalance to the daily
diet of bad news and mean tweets that are, at least in proportions, not representative of theratio of good to bad
that actually happens in the world. WeIre not naïve, we know the worldhas real problems that warrant serious attention but
there are many places to engage in those matters. This is a sanctuary, a place to remind yourself that we're more alike
than we're led tobelieve and to restore your faith in humanity by celebrating positivity.
Welcome to
The Positivity Project
In this day and age there is less attention in the media on all the good in the world,
lets shift our attention to the inspiring and heartwarming news and everyday moments
of kindness and generosity.

Welcome to
The Positivity Project
A COMMUNITY THAT CELEBRATES ALL THE GOOD IN THE WORLD, AND SUPPORTS THOSE IN NEED, BECAUSE
THE ROAD TO HAPPINESS IS PAVED WITH POSITIVITY
Our hope is that this serves as a community center to celebrate and learn from those that lift us up through their attitude, deeds and kindness. This is a sanctuary, a place to live the golden rule, namely to treat others as you would like to be treated. We remind ourselves that we're more alike than different. Through encouraging positivity and kindness and surrounding ourselves by those that believe in these qualities those virtues will be mirrored back to us and ripple outward from us to create an ever better world.
OUR STORY
Our two young daughters are reading an amazing book called "Be the Change, Make it Happen" which gives kids small projects they can do at any age to positively impact the world. It got us thinking, how are we leading by example and creating a positive impact? We, like most people we suspect, start our days feeling pretty optimistic. But in this digital age of instant news that only covers disarray, divisiveness and tragedy we also struggle to sometimes see the light. But perspective is everything and this year we’re choosing to see through a different lens, to live a positive life and like the book says "be the change!" Thus, The Positivity Project was born.
Every day there are countless heartwarming stories of quiet acts of compassion that we never hear about; stories that have enormous potential for positive impact. We sift through the noise and compile our favorite collections of happy news stories, videos and inspirational quotes, while giving people a place to connect and share their own experiences.
We believe that by highlighting and spreading these stories of generosity and kindness not only do we feel happier but we unintentionally create a ripple effect of positivity and future good deeds. The energy we put out in the world is contagious, and only we have the power to influence it for the better. Research shows when one random act of kindness is committed that spirit of generosity spreads three degrees of separation forward, meaning every good deed yields three additional good deeds. We all have the ability to be someone's blessing by using kindness to directly impact the lives of our friends, which in turn spreads to our friends' friends' and their friends' friends' and so on. Every day we have an opportunity, no matter how small, to start a chain reaction of kindness which can impact hundreds of people. We feel inspired to be the change, and we hope you are too.

-
Positivity is necessary to achieve happiness and building a daily positive routine is a healthy habit for the soul much the same way healthy food and exercise are healthy habits for the body

We build bridges, not walls and focus on the things we have in common rather that the things that divide us. We do not need tear down something in order to build something else up

We encourage people to use this as a starting point and build upon it by promoting positivity in your own communities, share your good news on our social media platforms, gather with other users (in fact if you're ever in our neighborhood we would love to meet you!)
