I feel like a little child sometimes...

in a world that’s full of big, mean people, with little or no control over a lot of what’s going on around me and soon enough I can feel like things are looking pretty dark

but then I remember

that I can choose to look at all of the colourful things instead, all of the sweet patterns, the good things that other people are doing, creating or difference-making in the world, to make life, better.

It's kind of like looking through a kaleidoscope, which is really just a cardboard tube that’s full of lots of shiny bits of plastic and little mirrors but it's truly beautiful because of all the light that's bouncing off of it all.

I can choose to look and see where or who the light is bouncing off of!

Honestly, if you start looking, you'll soon begin to notice, they’re everywhere.

Now, don't get me wrong. I don't want to be like an ostrich with my head in the sand. I mean, let's be real for a minute.



There are sooo many reasons to believe that it's NOT a nice time to be alive and many of those reasons I think, can be traced back to the wrong doings, wrong thinking's and wrong decision makings of evil minded, greedy, envious, pride filled, people, many of whom are in some kind of position of power over regular, everyday people.

I discuss so many of those reasons in this weeks episode of the April May Gems Show that I 'almost' could curb myself into the idea that this life in 2025 really is NOT a great time to be alive (and like me, I bet you could even add things to that list, personal things perhaps?)

But, no. I want to put it to you that our outlook on a new year, or even on life in general, really does depend on what we’re looking at.

Where is your perspective at?

Now, I don’t mean we should check out of reality. What I do mean is we ought to be careful to not get bogged down with negative news and instead, look for the good stuff!

Good things are happening all around us if we just have eyes to search and see and ears to listen.

Do you feel like you're drowning in life's circumstances and need some help to refocus to stay above the waves?

Allow me to encourage you to tune in to the special April May Gems Show's New Years Episode by clicking here.

Refocusing is not only possible but I can tell you its powerful and its uplifting and it’s hope inspiring!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !
