There’s a TON of negativity that tries to fog our minds in the world around us today. Watch the news for a night and you know what I mean. But what if we were people who spread good news?! What if the channel was turned to positive in our minds when everything around us wants us to be negative?

Wouldn’t it be amazing to walk down the street and see people full of joy and vibrancy? What holds us back from truly living a life full of joy and abundance? I love these questions because it helps us understand what the root problem is. We all go through really hard times, so what makes some people full of joy? They must be seeing something we don’t.

When Steve Jobs looked back at when he got fired from Apple he said, “It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.” What if we saw life this way? It can be a challenge for me at times, but this is something I am trying to apply daily.

Steve Jobs didn’t decide to give up but started two more companies and eventually was hired by Apple once again and became the CEO a year later. What is the lesson in Steve Job’s life? He could have given up and stopped creating things. But instead he decided to keep going. He was seeing the best instead of the worst!

Where have you felt like a failure in your life? What is weighing you down? How can you start to see the good in the midst of the hard circumstances you are in? What are some ways you can spread good news instead of bad in your life and in the lives of those around you?

We would love to hear your thoughts!
