The addictiveness of good news

Our society and general culture, fed by mainstream media, is trying and in many ways has succeeded, to get us hooked on bad news.

It’s a habit whereby many have become programmed to consume untold amounts of daily bad news.

If we switch that off, and you can literally do that, and focus only on good news, either that of others or the things you do to create a positive outcome, then that is addictive too.

I know which one I prefer being addicted to.

Switch off anything other than good news, consuming bad news serves no purpose in our lives.

Other than to create hatred, judgement, greed, envy, the polarisation of differences, mistrust, and general misery/depression.

I have yet to find a person that does not get lifted by good news, yet we seem to deny ourselves this boost.

Search for good things, always, it is a choice we can all exercise and it is one of the true joys of life.

Today’s purpose

Each morning is like a reset button, play again, start this level again.

Yesterday has gone. Nothing to see here, move on.

Tomorrow, maybe, who knows? There is no guarantee. Sure for most there will be a tomorrow, but how many tomorrows we do not know for sure.

Today is it. What will you learn today? Who will you connect with? What is the one thing that you will do that will make a difference? What memories will you create for you and others to treasure tomorrow?

Today is all we have that we can change for sure, the past is gone and we can plan to make changes tomorrow.

So what was your purpose today? There is no right or wrong answer here, it is all choice and it is what makes us happy that matters.

Whatever time zone you’re on reading this, there is still time to make a difference today.
