"When trying to save the world, we often notice the negative. After all, if it's not broken, we don't try to fix it, right? As a result, the downside of nearly everything pervades our thoughts, and we tend to complain about what's not right in the world. Instead, spend five minutes today sharing the positive things about your city. Whether you’ve got a great art scene, a vibrant nonprofit community, or fantastic citizens who support local sustainable businesses, make sure your neighbors know about what's going well. Then, after celebrating, you can get to work on what needs fixing." ~Sam Davidson, Cool People Care. |
