It’s easy to forget that there are a lot of good people in this world, especially when the bad ones get so much attention. Sometimes, I find myself asking where all the good people have gone. Then I realize they’re all around us.
Turn on the news or check in on social media and it can seem like our world has been consumed by angry, aggressive and mean-spirited people. From raging politicians, to cruel and bitter keyboard warriors, one might justifiably conclude that these days, bad is in and good is out. However, thinking this way would be a mistake, because the reality is, there are so many good and generous people in our world and they still out number the negative and bad ones.
“Just a reminder that there are good people in this world, with caring hearts, who do wonderful deeds and spread kindness and compassion daily.
While they aren’t always the ones we hear about or who make the news or saturate social media, their quiet, altruistic actions and peace-filled countenance lift us all.
If that’s you, thank you. You are loved and appreciated for who you are and the light you bring to our world.” – Jody Doty
Being a more positive person does mean looking for the brighter side and happier side of life, so that goes for looking for the good in people as well. When the words and actions of a few get us down, we must remember that though we may not always hear about the good people around us, they’re there — every day, doing good, smiling, encouraging and uplifting all those around them.
Never stop being positive, happy and good and, never stop looking for the good in other people…it is there!
“Surround yourself with loving, caring, happy people and get rid of the negative people that drag you down.” — Heather Rose
