What are you hearing these days? 
            When you are at work: Things are bad
            When you are watching TV: Things are bad
            When you are making small talk: Things are bad
            When you are in church: Things are bad

I question what would happen if we stopped watching all these reports on TV, stopped talking about how bad things are and stopped listening to how bad things are. Would they really be that bad?

I really do appreciate the shifting and changing of our economy and I in now way mean to disrespect those who have lost their jobs and/or their homes due to the current state of the American economy. However, I feel we are at a point where we are making it worse by continuing to talk about it and hyping it up.

There's a saying "As a man thinketh, so is he". If this is true (and I believe it is) what would happen if we started focusing on the positive things that are going on? If we talked as passionately about things that are good?
