Why is it that the motto for news is, “If it bleeds, then it leads?” Have you ever wondered why there are so many sad stories in the news? Are we conditioned to focus only on what gets the adrenaline flowing? Unfortunately, we all created this desire for drama and now we wish we could turn it off. I’m guilty as well. It seems that a painful story sticks with you longer than a story about what’s good in the world.
As human beings we also tend to remember our own painful stories and we continue to share them every chance we get. I challenge you today, “Don’t park at your place of pain!” Get out of that parking space. Allow someone else to use it. Take the handicap sticker out of your window. Step outside the blue lines! You have to reach for your blessings. Neutral won’t move your car forward. You gotta put your car in drive.
