When the World is Full of Bad News

Everywhere we turn people are talking about “bad things.” It could be the Recession and how there are no jobs around. It could be Global Warming and how the world is coming to an end. It could be talk about Swine Flu, North Korea, Rising Prices, Unemployment or a million other things. Bad news is and will always be a part of our lives.

Someone once said that there are only 2 certainties – death and taxes. In addition however it seems as though its certain that there will always be someone telling us how bad things are and how they are only going to get worse.

If we look back in history we see that awful things happened back then too – a lot of them. Also, in the last 100 years things have improved so that most people now live longer, with more possessions, more financial security and more personal security. Objectively we can really say that actually things are getting better.

So yes life has challenges – that is what makes it interesting. But are things getting worse – no, I think things are probably getting better. So make the most of your opportunities because you never know when they will open up something for you.
