How can we stay optimistic and hopeful in the face of bad news every where we look? Newscasts, papers, magazines, the Internet – all sources of largely negative content. And this is not to mitigate the fact that there are some real issues out there. Most of us know someone who has lost their job, or are in danger of losing their home, or someone who is gravely ill. It can be overwhelming. How do we focus on the good and choose to remain positive? How can we resist the strong pull of negativity? How can we focus on those things that make us (and others) happy? And more importantly, how can we put our intentions into action? There are hundreds of ways, yet we overlook so many due to their simplicity.
