Pick a Positive Path

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Golden Girls with SW Desert Homes BR564219000

I have to admit, I pouted all weekend.  Sometimes the World news is just so MUCH.  I think about other countries and their beleaguered people.  I think about the USA and our split ways right now.  I think about inflation. I think about the weather patterns.  It's all out there, and technology brings it home to us.

I admire the advocates, the picket sign holders, and folks who stay home and pray.  I admire the stance for belief, even if it's different from my own. 

In a funny/bizarre parallel, I've admired extreme athletes.  The bowler that throws long enough to get that 300, the golfer the hole-in-one.  What drive, what motivation, what determination...

I think perhaps that's what I really admire about people, most times.  Folks that choose a positive life, find a lane, and keep plugging away.

Let's just remember to stay positive, if we can.

Hi, Cara.

Sometimes it's hard to stay positive with the negative headlines and dark news. The best we can do is focus on our priorities and "live in the moment."

Thank you Aura - yes, I agree.  I'm reading a fantasy novel right now that keeps referring to "The Darkening", lol.  Feels current, lol.

Cara- I'm with you!  I do my best to choose the road that says POSITIVE on it. There are small detours at times but very rarely. And I do my best to stay away from those that want to live in Negative Land.

I've been thinking all week about how we still liked each other, even when we disagreed about someone else's beliefs. So I am choosing to not read the news, not look at the shouting and screaming. My motto for the past few months has been: Happy and Productive. Thanks for sharing!

Part of my positive life decision, is I do not watch the news. I focus on my life, my family, friends and community. Because even with them, I have limited ability to affect positive change or be supportive. Watching events I have no control over nor ability to participate in the change of is just too depressing and a poor use of my energy.

My mother used to watch every channel so she had informed decisions.  She thought that ignoring was to be indifferent.  However, I'm more like you, I think.  I feel like I can't do anything but be a positive force.

Good evening Cara,

I'm glad that Kathy Streib featured your post in her "Ah-Ha" moments for the week. I'm with Grant Schneider I wish more people would agree to disagree but still be friends. I rarely listen to the news because of all the negativity ..I surround my self with positive people and family.... taking a path that fills my life with the positive and good..I have no energy to expend on those who are so unhappy and ungrateful with our country. Everyone has choices including where we live.

Thank you Dorie.  I admire folks who can really take a stand, but I rarely do, over news reports.  I'm not sure if we know the whole picture.  But, then I feel like I'm just letting the world slide.  So...ultimately, in order to affect my small space, I endeavor to be positive to those around me and hope it ripples out.  I appreciate your time in answering.
