Debbie - I couldn't agree more. I've been away from the Internet and haven't been able to watch the news for the past week, and let me tell you -- it's been refreshing to be away from the doom and gloom.

Keep visualizing your dreams! 

I have said for quite a long time that we need "News Your Way".  Here are the guidelines for this new concept:

For every item of "bad news", the media would be required to give us a piece of "good news". 

Example:  the economic index fell by another point (bad news)

but the sales of alcohol has gone up again by two points (good news)

Another example:  the overall employment dropped by 2% (bad news)

but certain sectors of the work force have shown significant increases by as much as 30% - for example security guards, police, psychiatric facilities and funeral homes personnel (good news)

I definitely agree.  I am tired of the doom and gloom outlooks.

Debbie,

I have tried to not listen to the negative media and have been trying to place a positive view on all of the negative madia that is being presented.  Now to work on getting others to do the same.  Thank you ma'am

Aw shucks Debbie.  We get lots of good news.  It's all from the NAR telling us that things are rosy.

Debbie, The media is out to report the bad news...it seems that's what sells.  And they love to frighten people.  I do wonder too if they understand The Law of Attraction but find that's not what has people reading and tuning in.

Debbie,

Awesome post!  Your timing couldn't be better!

Thanks for visiting me on my post!

Debbie- Thanks for the link love you just gave me. And for reblogging the contest, thanks for your support. The media sells negative because it works, most people are drawn to drama and negatives. If this was not the case, the media would not do it. It is all about ratings. But you are so right, what you focus on expands.

Debbie,

I too have posted on this topic and agree with you 100%.  It seems tha the gloom and doom makes the headlines and is repeated 24/7......the good news gets the bottom of the TV screen headline that flies by so fast you can not even make it out.......CRAZY.

Next time someone says, "do you want the good news or the bad news?" Just say, "no, nothing but good news for me!"

If you ever meet me, ask to see my key chain. You will see what I visualize as my next goal! I plan to reach a goal and my key chain reminds me what that goal is and I have a date on that. I have to reach my goal by that date, because it is already paid for. If I don't reach my goal, I don't go and I have to throw away money and I don't like doing that.

I visualize great things and great things happen! (7-3)

Debbie: 

"Remember, you must visualize and be prepared for your dreams to come true. Before you can receive you must believe ..."

So true.  Your above mentioned of negativity is one of the reasons I try to limit my news viewing.  I am a true believe if you surround yourself around negative you become negative.  (Looking at the cup half full)!
