Dan Ariely's Writing Inspired Me to Discover and Empower

THE 2025 ECONOMIC READ INSPIRED THIS READER into action

My reading of Ariely's book, which is discussed and summarized below, inspired me to learn more about the current political action of our democracy. We all know our country is divided. This division when respected, and expressed in clear and concise language is the energy needed to creatively solve the governmental, social, economic, and foreign concerns of our American society.   


The current Washington DC regime including the acts of Elon Musk are threatening our constitutional rights. The division of power has dissolved into one power ruled by name calling, threats, untruths, and bribery. 


As its citizens, I hope we may unite as one and elevate awareness through peaceful protest before the democracy we once knew becomes completely eroded.


 Above is an image that includes the oaths taken by our highest elected leaders and 

below is the constitution as currently written for them to uphold. 


Notice how the President's oath DOES NOT include the words 'so help me GOD'. 

Dan Ariely writes about the power of oaths as a way to restore integrity, honesty and trust. 

I encourage you to create a life oath or intention and read it first thing in the morning, at noon and before bed. 

I wish the elected and appointed leaders of this great nation were commanded to read their oath of office and recite the Pledge to the American Flag before every meeting, discussion and vote. Perhaps, then, they would pause before they think, act or speak and truly fulfill their obligation of service for the good of the people whom they represent, not the party they identify with or the wealthy who bribe. 


What happened to our domestic tranquility as written and expected in the preamble? 


The people of America allowed bullies to enter the lawmaking institutions of OUR country. 

These bullies are not respected, and I personally am ashamed of their behavior. There is no trust. There is no accountability for their actions or their behavior. Some of you perpetuate this behavior by spreading the "viral videos". We must stop giving this type of behavior attention. 


It's time to take back our country and demand truth, integrity, fairness, and respect in our nation's government and from all of our elected and appointed officials.

HOLD OUR LEADERS TO A HIGHER STANDARD

PAY THEM THE AVERAGE AMERICAN'S ANNUAL WAGE = $80,000 IN 2025

BRING BACK CIVILITY. 

DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY AND WORTH

ACT WITH RESPECT. 

ELEVATE THE INTEGRITY OF AMERICA

LEARN FROM OUR DIFFERENCES. 

PROTECT OUR EARTH. 

CREATIVELY SOLVE PROBLEMS, TOGETHER

OPEN OUR HEARTS TO LOVE, PEACE, AND LIBERTY FOR ALL

THIS AMERICA BELONGS TO THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE JUST OFF MAIN STREET USA

Inspirations from The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

Mariposa Lily art by  with inspirations from first agreement by Don Miguel Ruiz The Four Agreements

Allow the beauty of your words to reflect the beauty of nature. 


Use your word to spread only love or white magic and begin with yourself.  

Great Sand Dunes National Park Colorado with inspirations from the second agreement by Ruiz.

Change your agreements. Change your life.

Graphic art sparkler with inspirations for the third agreement by Ruiz.


Gossip, the darkest black magic, comes from making assumptions and transferring our assumptions to others as truth. 

 

We dream. We make up information about the things we do not understand. In relationships, we make the assumptions others know what we want and need. When they do not honor our wants and needs, we shame them with "You should have known." 

Graphic art with inspirations from the fourth agreement by Ruiz.  Five green hearts border bottom.

 "…If you take action just for the sake of doing it, without expecting a reward, you will find that you enjoy every action you do. Rewards will come, but you are not attached to the reward."   -- Don Miguel Ruiz


"Everything is alive and changing all the time, so your best will sometimes be high quality, and other times it will not be as good."  -- Don Miguel Ruiz


back of head image held in hands with the words "a head full of fears has no space for dreams".

"You will only receive a negative idea if your mind is fertile ground for that idea."  -- Don Miguel Ruiz
