Benefits of Good News
Thank you for making this site. Daily, I was affected by Panic Attacks which were triggered from the news and all it's negative content. I considered starting a good news site and I was so happy to find one already here.
Just like we can choose to take the stairs, rather than the elevator, to strengthen our bodies, we can alter our thinking and create a happier reality. Today, on our Friday Word Fast, we look at JEALOUSY, and what it really is. Jack gives us a helpful acronym to reframe our thinking and a helpful practice to rid ourselves of jealousy...
My acronym today is:
J.E.A.L.O.U.S. Judging Everyones Actions Luminates Our Unfulfilled Self
The feeling of being jealous has been a common occurance throughout my life so much so that I feared the feeling of it and would take actions to avoid it. However the more I resisted being jealous the more it appeared in my life.
The first and foremost place for jealousy was in my relationships. However, I would feel its presence also during conversations about physical appearance and monetary possessions, and while observing others in states of happiness I could never imagine obtaining.
A mother who lost her own son in a tornado helps other children in devastated towns with her mobile daycare unit, named for the 2-year-old. Her inspiring voluntary group was featured on the CBS Early Show's week-long series, "Extraordinary People."
In her three decades of work in Charlotte, Pastor Barbara Brewton Cameron stood up to gangs, guns and drugs to change Genesis Park into a tidy and relatively safe neighborhood." Crime plummeted while the pastor successfully "pressured the city to give the
streets with bloodied reputations new names, such as Peaceful Way." (Charlotte Observer)
101-year-old Buster Martin is aiming to become world's oldest marathon runner.
He still has a job in a plumbing shop, but in his spare time the 101-year-old is training for the London Marathon while tipping back
a pint of beer. This inspiring YouTube video gives you a look at the training centenarian and his beer breaks. He has quite a twinkle in his eye for life. (Thanks to Judy in Australia for submitting the story!)
Stephen Wiltshire is an autistic savant. He is also an extraordinary artist, able to draw an entire city skyline in detail (and perfectly counted windows) after seeing it only once from a plane. As I mentioned in the new GNN-i Forum, the CBS Early Show is running a series this week called "Extraordinary People," and Stephen along with his London art gallery (visit his cool website) was the first to be featured. To be continued tomorrow with another next extraordinary individual.
