I’m afraid it’s bad news

Unfortunately it’s always bad news…

If you believe the media that is.

I recently read a great post from Manage Better Now – which talked about “a little known secret that can make you considerably happier, and save you a great deal time.  Stop reading and watching the news.  ”

This is something I passionately agree with.

Everyday we are overloaded with news from so many sources – newspapers, internet, TV, radio, iphones, ipads ….

It’s easy to infer from the way the news is portrayed that the world is a very negative and dangerous place.

This is not the case.

The media sensationalises everything – because bad news sells.  The media’s coverage of events is skewed towards the dramatic.

How much good news do you see in the media?

I suggest you disengage from their world, and the perputual drama associated with it.

Use your time to focus on your own dreams, and what you want to achieve.

Concentrate on the positives…

The things you are grateful for, the things that are going right in this world.  The random acts of kindness, the generous and selfless acts that occur all around us (and get far less attention than they deserve).

The news we are provided with does not represent true reality.

Change your perception of the world – immerse yourself in good news.
