A Better Start

Murder. Corruption. Terrorists. And a cup of tea. 

Is that how your day starts with the newspaper on your hand?

Think for a moment what makes headlines in a newspaper, or rather, the news which media thinks you should see in bold big fonts.

 What if the headlines in the front becomes the inside page news and the ones which really matter stand out?

• ‘Another bomb blast....’ substituted by ‘A great day for world peace’
• ‘Terrorist kills soldiers’ becomes ‘A soldier saves a life’
• How about ‘Black buck hunted again’ turns to ‘Poacher turns into Preserver’
• “Man kills wife and child’ replaced by ‘Father who works 18 hours and still has time to play with his kids’
• What if ‘Politician held for corruption’ is substituted with a news how the ‘Police officer stands up to honesty’
• What if ‘Poison found in baby food’ gets replaced by ‘Woman keep fit and wins the race at the age of 40’
• Turning ‘Money robbed from bank’ into ‘How the homeless man earned his millions’

Doesn’t seem realistic, does it. Ever wondered why?

 It doesn’t look normal not to get the news that report of murder, corruption and gun shattering terrorist at top. You might need to get informed so that you can protect your wallet, your family, your job and survive this world. 

In other words, living in fear.

This is not called pessimism. This is also not remaining informed of the world. This is called self- sabotage. Don’t blame the media for posting headlines that don’t make you feel very positive. It sells what we buy.

But you have a Choice. 

Focus on what to look for. Look inside your heart. The world is as bad or good as you think it is. 

Focusing on the better half of the news will keep your blood pressure down, moods brighter and will give all the inspiration you need for the day. And when you raise your feeling-good vibrations, you make others feel better too. 

It has been a proven fact that the right attitude increases salary and promotion in office and improves your relationships at home.

So tomorrow morning, when you sit with that morning tea and open your newspaper, wish that you see the big bold headline that screams ‘Man follows his heart’.
