How often do you hear, read, or watch good news?

It’s not that good things are happening in the world, it’s just that bad news sells better and faster than good news. This is especially true if you’re plugged into the mainstream media, and even if you’re on social media.

So instead of waiting to hear good news, why not take it upon yourself to make and share good news?

Take on the role of the journalist or reporter and make it a point to share good news on a regular basis. Let those you interact with know that if they’re looking for a silver lining in life, you’re the one they can turn to. And no, I’m not suggesting you create false stories and make up good news. Once you decide that good news is what you’re looking for, then it’s good news you’ll find.

Making and sharing good news doesn’t mean that you ignore reality, and we can both agree that on a regular basis, bad things do happen in the world, but so do good things. Rarely can you do anything about the bad events that occur, and fortunately, the majority of them don’t really impact your life. So, knowing about them and then sharing with others does nothing for you or for them except reinforce the bad things happen. So, instead, learn to do the opposite. Find and share good news.

Look, ultimately, it’s up to you. You can continue to be mired in bad news and share and complain with others about all bad things happening in the world, or you can decide to be the bearer of good news. You can be the one that people turn to when they want to escape from bad news and need someone to brighten up their day.
