When an event occurs that is negative in nature, it is best not to focus your energies on it, but rather to focus on the good that is going on around you.  The good in people is everywhere, and the acts of a few can reduce the positive energy levels in an instant.   Today and everyday there is a negative event that is crossing the newswire, is the time for you to reflect on something positive that is occurring on that day as well.

What can you find today or right this very moment that is an act of kindness, integrity, unselfishness, and show gratitude towards it?  There are many people who are involved daily in your life who serve others for reasons beyond financial.  There are people who try to make the world a better place each and every day.  Honor those people.

When a tragic event happens, provide energy of encouragement to all involved and to the families of all involved and understand that dwelling on the details may continue to bring you down.   Lift yourself up by watching a child help another tie his shoe.  Watching a young person help an elderly man cross the street.   Allowing another to hold the door for you while acknowledging that simple, kind act.

Life is about love and sharing the love with others.  For some, they cannot see the love and fill their heads with hatred.   Do not give in to those thoughts, but rather work harder to share your love and to help fill those people’s minds with something good to offset the evil they possess.   Simple acts of kindness can help flip the switch in people’s lives towards one of positivity towards others.

We can all help raise the level of good in our communities and across the world with a smile and a sincere look into a stranger’s eyes telling them that I care about you even though I do not know you.  In times of need the people who demonstrate sometimes the bravest acts are those you might be afraid of if you meet them on the street.  Yet, their appearance is deceiving.   Once again, we cannot stress enough the importance of connecting with others beyond the physical appearance of the body encompassing their essence.

When you judge another person based on the shell and mask they wear, you are losing out on relationships that can last and may have been going on for many lifetimes.  Look at each other with the eyes that go beyond the physical, touching the inner self’s “eye” to communicate with them at a non-physical level.

Life is about relationships which everyone desires.  Keep an eye on the relationships that you cannot see because those are the ones that may be most important to you.  These relationships may be with other living things aside from humans, such as trees, animals, and the living things beneath the oceans.  Your relationship with nature is one that will help you get in touch with that inner part of who you really are.

When you can touch your inner self and begin to listen to the messages and guidance that it provides to you, you will then see that the people of this world are all one.  When someone is hurting, we all hurt, and when someone is smiling we all smile.  That means that when you smile the world smiles back at you.

Smile to the world even if you think no one is watching, and you will see nothing but smiles reflecting back to you throughout your day.
