Capable Of Positive Change

"In other words, when you don't know how much things have changed,

you don't see that they are changing or that they can change."

Rebecca Solnit

The media feeds us with negative perspectives and the reader or listener or observer is lulled into a sense of doom, believing in a negative outcome.  Everything feels like it has been tainted and continued slanted reporting eliminates any sense of hope.  Once we are convinced of a doomsday ending, we ignore how we are capable of positive change. 

Yes, bad things happen and wrong choices are made, but the other side of the coin needs to be understood as well.  Great things are happening on all levels, but they simply don't make the news.  When the positive is recognized it definitely can compete with the negative.  

Those in power would like us to believe that things are so bad, there is no room for change, which reinforces their power.  When we make the effort to see healthier options and invest in our personal power to choose, positive change advances.  Affirming what is good can create hope which propels us to further explorations.  With our free will and focus on the good, our world can change for the better.
