The World is Getting Better!

The world is getting better!!!
I love sharing this information. For a long time, I was under the delusion that "the world was getting worse." This just isn't true, and the data supports it.
The majority of people don't realize that the world is getting significantly better.
Why? Because evolution has "programmed" our brains to look for the negative. The news media and advertisers benefit from exploiting this knowledge. When our survival was being threatened daily, our focus being drawn towards threats was a very useful "program." Fortunately this baseline "program" is no longer as useful & we have the ability to reprogram our brains!
Updating your baseline "programing" is a little different than updating your smart phones...and here are the steps:
1st step- know the world is truly getting better.
2nd step- notice how your brain is drawn to negativity and choose to make small steps to actively shift your attention.
3rd step- do what you love while adding value to the world. "Fail forward" to get a little better each day at both.
"BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD."
