Good you can do

Don’t give energy to discouragement. It already has plenty without your assistance.

Invest your energy in hope, in beauty, in creation, in achievement. Dwell on what inspires you, and on real world, day to day activities that support and expand on that inspiration.

It’s all too easy to see what has the potential to discourage you, yet you must then go beyond it. The reason anything has the power to discourage you is because it threatens or negates some particular form of goodness.

Focus your attention and your energy on that goodness. Apply your creativity and resourcefulness to growing that goodness in your world.

There will always be bad things happening. Let them point you precisely in the direction of the good you can do.

Instead of giving in to despair over what’s negative, give time, thought, and action to what’s positive and beneficial. For every potential difficulty, act to overwhelm it with the goodness you have to offer.
