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.

Someone else did it while I was thinking about it

We all get that sinking feeling or moment of despair in life, we have an idea, we talk about it, we might even have a go at it. Then the shock, someone else is doing it and doing better, and we’ve missed out.

Two things, firstly, what others do or don’t is of no consequence to our journeys, as we will all do our thing in our own unique way. There are more enough people in the world who will love what we do versus someone else’s version. So don’t compare. We evolve our ideas at different speeds.

The second thing, we need to become braver, bolder, more curious, more focused and remove the restrictions in our heads that stop us from creating something truly magical that has no comparison.

Don’t sink into despair with the thought of others achievements, rise up realising that our dreams are not impossible, but in fact entirely possible and all that is missing is our bravery to show up and achieve them.

Clearer, bolder vision creates bolder action and results, that are without comparison to others.

If someone else did it means we can too.
