Indonesia is where I have been making some things happen.. But all over Ancient Wisdom things are happening.. Tomas has been in our Slovakia company and traveling to Poland recently working on an exciting new partnership that hopefully will bring a whole new range of health supplements and the like to AW.  Our teams in the UK have been busy also - will report next week. Mr Chatterjee, our man in India has been out and about visiting craftware villages..

So you can see.. at AW we are always trying to innovate and create and serve our customers better. 

My thoughts for today on toxic people.

I love Indonesia because there are so many creative people.. who also tend to be gentle, kind and humble. People who create good vibes who are a pleasure to be around and make life generally better. The same kind of people can be found in India, in Europe, everywhere actually. Our kind of people at AW.. the people we choose to work with - suppliers, team members and customers.. are all creative and collaborative and kind.. making a better world.

Sadly though there are toxic people in the world.. (you know who you are) the non-creative who are happy to make money without creativity - not kind, not collaborative.. for whatever reason sometimes we find ourselves falling into their traps and having to deal with them. They can undermine creativity - disrupt mental health - destroy positivity. My advice: deal with the issues in the minimum time (or delegate to professionals) - turn away and celebrate the good and creative things.  Don't sweat bad stuff - I learned from my Balanese friends - don't get angry, don't stress, just turn your back to the toxic people and cut them from your life as much as possible. Karma will find them; you don't need to even care. I'm lucky to be surrounded by good and kind people.. I am grateful for this every day.

Light a candle today - think about creative positive things.. fresh ideas - just one good idea can change your life and the people around you for the better.. 

There is a lot to be said for lighting a candle, finding a moment of peace and letting go of things that depress your spirit - focus on joy and friends and creativity instead - allow the good to flow..

Speaking of Candles.. it's almost Christmas and Candles are a big part of Christmas - and beyond (Valentine and the season of love coming soon).. We have put together some special deals..
