Share Good

Do you think that the world is unsafe? Now, if you watch the news or you pay attention to anything that's on Facebook and shared by other people, especially the news groups, you'll think that the world is getting more and more unsafe. But the thing about that is that you have to realize your brain is designed to look at the negatives. Millions of years ago, we had to think about the negatives because if we ate from this berry plant, we had to remember that one of our friends died when they ate from that berry plant. So we need to remember that negative. If we walk by this bush, there's a lion in it. We don't want to walk by that bush. Well, now, millions of years later, we don't have to worry about those types of things. So our brain focuses on the negative. And the news groups know that we love negative stuff because our brains are designed to focus on the negative. So if you watch the news or you pay attention to Facebook or any of those types of things, you'll think that the world is getting much, much more unsafe. In fact, if you look at the Department of Justice's website, doj.gov our crime rates and our murder rates and our gun violence are one of the lowest it's been since 1952. In fact, the 90s, if you were alive in the 90s, the 90s were two times more dangerous than being alive right now. So why am I telling you this? Because you need to stop brainwashing yourself with all of the news and all of the negative, because then you're going to think that the world is bad and negative. You need to start paying attention to all the positive stuff that's happening around you. Because if you look at it, the world is getting better and better. You need to start filling your mind with books and start filling your mind with motivational stuff or inspiring stories or things that show how much opportunity there is in the world. So the challenge that I want to leave you with is instead of sharing negative stuff on Facebook, can you start sharing good? What good can you share with somebody today? So instead of making it look like it's more negative, people will actually start to see more positive in their news feed, which will in turn make everybody else think that the world is starting to be more positive. So that's my challenge for you today, and I hope that you have an amazing day.
