Is Our World A Horrible Place?

Like me, you've probably heard some people say “The world is a horrible place” and “I hate people.”

Their comments may come after they've read a news article or after they've watched the news.

The way we view the world -- whether as a horrible or a beautiful place -- is a reflection of OUR focus and our reality. When we choose to look for the good in people we find it.

When we look for the good in the world we find it, of which there are many. There are countless good deeds that go unnoticed. These good deeds outnumber the negative.

Rather than focus on the negative and perpetrate the illusion of our world as a horrible place, let us put our focus on the positive. Share positive stories.

Be positive influences by channeling different thoughts and sentiments into the world.

In so doing, we are not denying the bad; we simply choose to focus on the good and then go about creating more of it.

Change starts with us.
