Look for the Good

Posted in Look for the Good at 3:02 am by Administrator

A cynic is a person who believes that people are motivated purely by self-interest rather than acting for honorable or unselfish reasons. It can be easy to slip into a cynical view of the world but there is much more to life and people than cynicism. If our world view is shaped simply by social media, the news or politics instead of experiencing life with people- family, fellow employees, other cultures, then we miss out on the richness of humanity.

I find it somewhat humorous that as I began writing this, I discovered over $800 of fraudulent iTunes charges in my bank account so the test is real. Looking for the good in people and in situations isn’t some Pollyannaic view but it helps bring hope, meaning and purpose into a world that can sometimes seem that it is coming off the rails. People with hope, purpose and an expectation of goodness are the bright lights that can inspire a true change for the better in life.

Let’s be those people.
