(A positive word from Karl, www.karlblog.com)

I hope that in spite of all the doom and gloom in the world that you’re feeling happy and optimistic.

It’s true that there’s no escaping the fact that we’re living in challenging times.

With all the continued media talk of recession and financial crisis, you can’t help but feel a little despondent, concerned and even depressed. And yet, I often think that all this negative talk makes us spiral even further down into despair.

The fact is, negativity feeds on negativity.

Now, more than ever before, we need lots of positive vibes to lift our spirits so that we can see a way out of the darkness.

Yes, these challenges are real but each generation has faced challenges one way or another and one thing we should learn from that is that it doesn’t help matters to endlessly moan about them.

We need positive thoughts, positive intentions, and positive action.

If each of us becomes a ray of light – a bright beacon of positive energy – then we can move forward. We can make a difference.

So, today, turn off the negative news and tune into your positive mood.

Be a ray of light and radiate feel-good vibes.

It’s a much better outlook to choose!

I couldn’t have said it better myself!

Remember, God is Blessing You, Right Now!

Here’s a great blog post by Karl Moore at www.karlblog.com

It’s just right on! Here it is:

I don’t tend to listen to the news.

It’s not that I don’t care about what’s going on in the world, but I do feel that all the negative vibes that the media pipes out can have a detrimental effect.

In fact, studies suggest that listening to the news on a regular basis can make you fearful, depressed, anxious, angry and even paranoid!

You see, when you focus your attention on stories of calamity and woe, your spirit can so easily deflate. Energetically, you start attracting more of the same negativity into your own life.

Choosing not to watch the news isn’t ignorance or indifference; it’s choosing to embrace the positive in the world instead.

Because … no matter what … good and bad co-exist.

There will always be calamities and woe in the world whether you follow the news or not. Focusing on it to the point of creating anxiety within you only adds to the negative vibes.

You have a choice; so why not choose to focus on the good stuff?

There is plenty of it out there if you dare to look!

Watching what you focus on also applies to your experiences and choice of words on a daily basis.

To give you an example of focus in practice, consider the approach of an enlightened peace campaigner.

This gentle soul believed in peace but she wouldn’t attend anti-war marches. However, she would attend pro-peace marches!

So what’s the difference?

Well, it’s subtle but actually quite profound! The mere mention of the word ‘war’ (even though it’s anti-war) conjures up negative connotations whereas the word ‘peace’ has a much more positive focus.

Both marches are campaigning for peace but can you see the difference simply by changing the words from anti-war to pro-peace?

It’s subtle but a good example of ‘focus’ in action.

So, as you go about your day, watch your focus.

Look for the positive – even in words.

And remember the saying – As you think, so shall you be!

God is Blessing You, Right Now!
