A better world

It may sometimes seem that the world is shallow and petty and focused only on meaningless, superficial concerns. Yet you can choose to live in a better world.

It may appear that there is an overwhelming amount of violence, despair and injustice in the world. Yet you can choose to live in a better world.

Look at the world in a positive light, and suddenly you’ve made it a better place. Act on the possibilities that you see, and you give real substance to your positive vision.

Imagine how the world would be if everyone became focused on the positive possibilities. By directing your own awareness toward those possibilities, and by acting on them, you make them more vibrant, more visible and more compelling.

By working to improve your own attitude and your own life, you become a living example for all the world to see. And a living example is hard to ignore.

The way a better world emerges is one life at a time. Start with your own life, and let the goodness quickly spread outward from you.

— Ralph Marston
