It is so easy to get discouraged these days. All you have to do is turn the TV on a news channel. I hope by now however,  you have noticed that almost all the sponsors and commercials for the news are pharmaceutical companies. It's no wonder we are a nation of depressed, numb, wandering zombies!

But today it is time to turn off the TV.

We all have enough struggles and demons in our lives. There should be no need to grow more Gremlins by watching the news 24 hours a day. Now, I am not saying that you shouldn't know what is going on in the world or in your community. I am saying that we have become addicted to bad tidings, and are jaded by violence and fear. We are letting ourselves become complacent and allow others to tell us what to think.  A few moments in the morning to catch up on current events is fine, and most of us do cook dinner while watching our local news, but that should be it!

Ask anyone older than yourself, or yourself depending on your age, how they felt during major events. What the worlds morale as a whole was BEFORE 24 hour news centers and internet. When you could only get your news from the paper or certain times of the day. Or God forbid, a Teacher. Which by the way either one was composed of the FACTS, not facts and OPINIONS. Unless you asked.  I promise you the answer would be that there was a lot less of a need for all of the anxiety/depression/sleeping medications. Some may argue that we didn't have the technology to make those kinds of drugs. The truth of it is, we had those drugs then too. We just were not allowed to know about them unless our doctor saw fit or there was a true medical need.

My Father survived THE Depression, as well as my Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, etc. Pearl Harbor, Vietnam, Korea. Earthquakes, The Dust Bowl, Several Presidents. Oil Prices rising and falling. Most of the people that walk this earth has lived through the H1N1 of 1976 when we were allowed to call it the Swine Flu. And through all of that, we were not a nation of people having a nervous break down, taking medication, not sleeping, and disrespecting their political figures (even though they disliked them.) We were a Nation that would rise to the challenge. Come together in one voice against or for our beliefs. Lived passionately and with excitement. But we were also a Nation again of Newspapers, Land lines only, left our work at home and believed in our home life.

The point to all of this writing is not to dismantle the media or technology that rules us, but to just get ourselves back to center. Back to your source as Dr. Dyer would say. What ever that means for you. Be it God, Light, Energy, we need to get back to it.

We need to get back to talking to each other not typing at each other.

There is no truth in crying and freaking out over every little thing that happens in our lives and in the lives of others. This only sets us into a tail spin of more despair and paranoia. We need to rise above the drama and remove it from our lives. It is time to climb our ladders again, with our bags packed and say " I'm going to make my climb upward and only take steps towards the direction of my calling"

It is time for us to get back to loving and caring for ourselves and neighbors. For baking cookies for the kids or a sick neighbor instead of giving them a video game and refusing to look our community in the eyes for fear they may make us sick or actually want to talk face to face.

When you use your talents or calling to serve others, clarity and success beyond money and power comes in abundance to you. When you stay in this "World Head" and avoid others including yourself, all of the things that you don't want to happen, will.

Today should be the day that you celebrate yourself. That you tune out other people and their opinions. That you take care of the people around you. That you be what you want to be, so that you can receive what you want and need in your life. It is possible that we can celebrate and be happy again and we need to. Remember the most simple of rules everyday,

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

If you want love go love

 Fun? Be fun.

If you need direction, be the map for someone else.

Everything that you give out, will be given back to you in abundance. Today is the day to ask yourself

?Am I putting out the Aura of a down trodden media drama junkie, or the light, love, and abundance that we all come from.?

I pray for all of us that it is the later.
