Don’t you just get sick of it. Last year I stopped getting the local newspaper. Why do you suppose. You got it. It’s nothing but a negative mess.

Front page, middle pages, and every other page full of junk.

Seems to me that it would actually help those who read the newspaper and watch the tv news if our media people would make it a point to cover more of the good stuff than the bad stuff. Hmmm…

So here is how it works in my estimation.

Every day someone hears and is fed this ridiculous sky is falling propaganda.

Government does it. School systems do it. Businesses do it.

It’s a constant bombardment of things are bad and the only way to get out of it is to MAKE CUTS. That’s not enough, MAKE MORE CUTS. Soon enough there will be nothing left to cut.

Let me clarify. Sometimes cuts have to be made. Sometimes businesses have to be closed. Sometimes bad things happen.

But here’s the point.

When it’s over MOVE ON.. We’ve all had bad things happen to us. Did it do any of us any good to keep dwelling on the negative? Me thinks it much better to learn from those negative experiences so we don’t do the same dumb things all over again.

It drives me absolutely wild the people who continually try to cram this Doomsday mentality down our throats.

I suggest that those in government, school systems, businesses try this.

Believe that a solution will be found that will make you prosper and start talking about and working on that. Get your people to start talking and thinking about it too. Share the Wealth.

Here’s a hint. The solution may not be found in doing the same old worn out stuff that got you in a mess in the first place.

We really become what we think and talk about. It’s much more productive to think that we and those we are connected with will make some really great things happen.

Cut mentality be damned. Negative thinking be damned.

Turning ourselves, our country, our schools, our businesses around depends on us and how and what we think about and then what we do after we think it. It’s a great feeling to be in control of our own destinies.

Make it a point to listen to and spend time with people and ideas that can lift you up not bring you down. Life is too short and too precious

Get yourself a piece of the good living pie. Lord knows, there’s more than enough for everybody if we only believe.
