It’s so easy for us to see all the negative things in life. Social media is full of it. Negative people! Our news sources are full of bad news. Worries. Tragedies. All of these are so easy to find.
But there is good out there too. It’s just not being pushed on us like all the negative things are. With the recent government shutdown, I’ve seen a lot more of the good things. In many places, people are offering to temporarily help those who are struggling with needs.
We need to shift our focus and our attitude. If we only focus on the negative, it’s all we are going to see. Social media algorithms configure themselves based on your interests. If you only click on the bad stories, all you will see are the bad stories.
The same is true even off of social media. We see what we are looking for. If we are focused on finding the negative things in life, we will find them and overlook all the positive that is out there.
If you are a sensitive person in this world today, life feels almost impossible. There is so much focus on the things we are trying to avoid that it’s hard to push through some days.
Challenge yourself this week to find the positive among the negative. Search for uplifting stories and posts about people helping people. Reach out in your own community and be the positive where it is needed.
Each of us can change the world, but it has to start in our own little world. We must band together, work together, to fight all the evil and ugliness in the world. None of us is powerful enough alone, but when we join hands with others, we can be the change everyone needs.
