Dedicated to the Good

Today it seems we're inundated with the negative. We turn on the evening news or CNN and mostly what we see and hear is negative.  Instinctively, we all know there is some good going on in our society... somewhere.  

So I've dedicated this Blog to archiving positive things that are going on around the world.  As this is the Internet I invite one and all to share positive, constructive things that are going on. Anything that's constructive.  

I've found that when we talk about positive things an interesting thing happens.  We start to feel good.  About ourselves.  About other people.  About the possibilities.  We start to see that the world is not ALL bad.  

Please understand I don't walk around with rose-colored glasses believing that we live in a world free from crime, hatred, and destruction.  I know that these things exist.  And if I didn't all I would have to do is turn on the evening news (any night).

My purpose here is not to act as if we don't have problems in our society.  Rather it is to share and illuminate the positive in our society.  The constructive alternatives that people are using to overcome the challenges.  

My idea of a great society is one in which the positive, and stories of people overcoming, far outweighs the negative and people being destroyed.  The negative is still there, but it is uncomfortable because most people desire, in fact demand, a certain decency, a certain constructive outlook on life.

So share your stories.  And I will share my stories and those of people dedicated to the good.  The good in themselves and the good in others. - CB

For those of us who bust our a**** everyday to get ahead sometimes rely on the media that in my opinion will NEVER show or tell our story. I feel the same as a good friend of mine (check out her 'myspace' @ cmahmi and listen to her track "Behind the Times"). I think we need what Chance is doing.
