Without much effort, we can tune to an endless stream of opinion that things are bad–getting worse–and we’re all on the brink of disaster. Soon we’re swept away, feeling bad, and acting accordingly.
Without much effort, we can look around and see none of that is true. In fact, there’s lots to appreciate and feel good about. Soon we’re swept ahead, feeling better and better, and acting accordingly.
Are there problems? Sure. Big ones. And we’ll deal with them. Are we doomed. No way.
The question is which effort do you want to make?
In your corner,
Michael
PS: I know this isn’t how we’ve been taught, but it works: the better we feel, the better we can deal with the problems.
