Vast amounts of energy are invested in complaining about our society’s failures.  News reports primarily focus on stories about danger or disaster, and even our co-workers &/or classmates do their fair share of whining about social ills &/or the foibles of friends & foes alike.  Indeed, raw negativity seems to be an epidemic of amazing proportions; ever tempting us all to wish things were “correct” or “right” or “better.” And even if there is some merit to some of these complaints, investing energy in complaining about a “problem”, without immediately doing something about it, only serves to perpetuate the same … With these thoughts in mind, dedicate the day to speaking positively.  Start by watching the news this morning and making brief notes about anything that seems “broken” in our society.  Then, next to each item, write one small way you can turn that “failure” into a Service-based Success.  Now pick one of those listed “solutions” and engage it actively all day today, remembering to tell others about your solution, not the problem that inspired it.
