Focus on the Good Stuff
We gossip. We put other people down. We make ourselves feel bad. We poison ourselves.
The nightly news seems to exist to make us feel bad. The crime rate goes down. The reporting of crime goes up.
Life can be different. The Bible tells you to love your neighbor as yourself. I never even considered that it meant that. That means that you first learn to love yourself. That self love will come before the love of others.
Appreciate yourself. Have you ever thought of what you appreciate about yourself. Take some time, sit down and think about what you appreciate about yourself. Appreciating yourself, you learn to appreciate others. Choose to see that we live in a world of abundance.
Does that mean there are no problems. Of course not, but we must learn to deal with them. Be willing to help other people.

Focus on the Good Stuff is the book by Mike Robbins that inspired me to start this lens. Ever notice the news is almost always negative. The crime rate drops by 20%, but the reporting of crime triples on TV news. The end must be near.We don't have to live thinking that way. Mike gives specific steps to take to get out of this rut.
Show appreciation. We crave appreciation. We seldom get appreciation. Ask people to tell you what they appreciate. Learn to appreciate your own achievements. Show other people that you appreciate what they do.
Get the book. Show appreciation to yourself, your spouse/significant other, friends, colleagues, and everyone you meet.
Change the world, one person at a time.

I gave away my TV and find enough news in a few minutes on Google news. The rest of my time I live, love, teach, and learn. Life is good, appreciation for all we have is natural. Thanks for the good stuff. Posted June 16, 2008 |
