A key step to maintaining positivity in our lives is to fill our attention with the same. If we focus on the news, we are giving up our peace of mind to that programming. There’s a reason there’s so much negativity in the news: it’s what keeps people’s attention tuned to the news stations. It’s a deliberately distorted version of reality. Even when things are bad, the news and media will make it seem worse. They play off our fears for their own benefit.

Instead of consuming thus culture, we must create our culture. Shine the inner light for all to see, and let our hearts guide our actions. We are all one: I am another you! When we come together to create a joyful existence full of love, our world will shift with us.
