Criticism and name calling can hurt. It is a harsh and cruel world sometimes. Whether from strangers on the internet or people close to you, unsavory words can come from any direction.

What if we could live in a way in which we took nothing said about us personally?

We start with the question of whether AI will ever be able to duplicate human consciousness. This leads, of course, to the question of “well, what is consciousness anyway?”

Aren’t we, too, just machines that have been fed data since birth, which we then export by way of our thoughts and actions?

The ultimate question we also want to ask here is whether the longterm benefits of AI outweigh the Terminator-like risks involved in developing technology which thinks for itself.

“We don’t have to believe what other people say about us.”

• Dr. Jo Anne White

Life is about the connections we make. And, everybody wants to be heard and valued in this world. The thing is, in order to do that, it begins with yourself.

Through the power of visualization and valuing others, we can get over the negativity that we might have internalized in ourselves and create real connection with others.

Co-author of the book "Mission:Hope" found on Amazon, as well as several other best sellers, Dr. Jo Anne White is an international award-winning author, speaker, and coach.
