Awareness:
Daily, I consume a large dose of alternative news sources on Steemit. I appreciate the information I get from these online journalists. As I think it is important to understand the forces that are trying to shape our reality.
Negative Conclusions:
They paint a very negative picture of a world largely dominated by government and corporate elites pursuing power, profit and geopolitical dominance. This can lead you to a negative and depressing outlook in your life, given the awareness you have of how our noble leaders behave. Obviously, this is not a good mental framework from which to embrace and prosper in your life.
Positive Antidote - Perception is Reality:
So that awareness doesn't lead to self defeating negativity I have decided to consume as least as much positive media as I do negative. This should underscore the necessity and benefit of being positive. With a positive outlook you will embrace life and be rewarded accordingly. By embracing life you are more likely to be a success and thereby not a burden on people but will actually be in a position to help others when help is required.
The following is an example of positive media that is an antidote to negative thought processes. Les Brown is the speaker in the video.
