Daily, the media assaults, then haunts us with sensationalism. What's broken prevails. Newscasters detail how we have damaged our society, economy, and destroyed the natural world. We learn who's doing what to whom in dreadful and devious ways.
Where's the other side of the story? Why doesn't our progress in myriad areas make headlines? Did you know scientists are regenerating heart cells in mice?
Today, ponder and write about three areas of concern you have about life in 2011. Take a local or global approach to cultural or political issues, the environment, or the human condition in general.
Move into blue sky thinking. What suggestions do you have from a workable approach to challenges? Devise wild solutions to our mega issues. Dig into creative problem solving for ways to succeed beyond negativity.
It all begins with individual choices. If each person took responsibility for his or her own personal universe with respect for others, the results would change.
Begin by redirecting your attitude when faced with adversity. Think and write: in what ways can I solve this . . .
Pick up one piece of litter. Offer assistance to a stranger. Show positive energy when tackling problems.
Write on! You will make a difference.
