When times are "bluff"...

When times are tough...they can easily be mistaken for when times are "bluff"... On a daily basis we are bombarded with negative press. We are systematically fed...negativity! The question that most of us should be asking ourselves is... why? In seeking the answer to a question like this, we can actually look deep inside ourselves for the answer and we will most certainly find it there... so why are we constantly bombarded with negative press?? Because WE are consistently telling the world...that is what we want! We buy more magazines, more newspapers and watch more news broadcasts when the headline is a tragedy or bad news than we do when they publish something heart warming or inspiring! It's that simple! We are the cause, the bad news is the effect! I suppose if any of us were in the media business, we would be on the hunt for as many tragic stories as we could possibly find... to make as much money as we possibly could... of course we would!

I think I may have mentioned this in a previous post but I no longer watch the news...I gave up about +5 years ago and I think it was one of the best things I could have done! This way, I choose what it is I want to know. I do research on the things I want to know more about and stay clear from the things that are unworthy of my attention, things that could possibly bring me down. I think it's one thing to keep informed about what is going on in the world but it's another to be inundated as we often are.
Make choices that work for you! Keep true to yourself and to others and focus on what keeps you happy, high spirited and joyful.
