Negativity breeds negativity. If we live in a world of followers, and negativity is the norm, how will we ever become positive? Trying to make the world a positive place is like trying to turn the Titanic around right before it hits the iceberg. It seems like too big of a feat to even try. BUT, it is possible.

It starts with the individual.

Personally, I am an anxious mess a lot of the time. I hear something negative about the world and it freaks me out. I catch myself feeding in to media driven “Doomsday” predictions, catastrophic events, government turmoil, and many other things. But why? Like I said before, if everything is seen as negative, that energy will only continue to move in a downward spiral.

In a book I read every morning, it read:

Even though the passage above regards the Lord’s presence, this message can relate to anyone in any situation. “Things that most people hardly notice, like shifting shades of sunlight…”

Why can’t we notice things like that? Little gifts throughout the day are so incredible but rarely noticed and appreciated.

I was walking outside the other day and came across a family who was walking their dog. One of their children was in a wheelchair; unable to speak, eat on his own, or function properly. The mother, father, and daughter had the most incredible, positive energy. I came to find out that this young boy just became this way. He fell and hit his head. In the blink of an eye, your world changes. Do you REALLY understand how lucky you are? I mean REALLY understand it?

Crisis and hostility surround you, but so does beauty and honesty. Find it…and thrive on it.
