"Spreading good news—being a messenger of what’s good in the world—is something we can all be doing today. Think about it. We don’t even have to speak or write something to spread love, compassion, kindness, or goodness. It’s all about how we show up in the world. It’s all about our actions and how we make people feel Ask yourself this week, are you a messenger of hope, love, and good news? Or are you stuck in a cycle of negativity and doom, pointing fingers and spreading bad news?" - Maria Shriver The Duke University Basketball Women’s Coach Kara Lawson said this week "We wait for stuff to get easier. It will never get easier. What happens is you handle hard better.” And Robin William's in Good Will Hunting said, “You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren't paying attention to.” So ask yourself, are you a messenger of hope, love, and good news? Or are you stuck in a cycle of negativity and doom, pointing fingers and spreading bad news? Are you the FLAME-THROWER in the group? Maria Shriver writes, "Whenever I would say anything was hard, my mother would say, “I don’t want to hear a yip out of you.” She would ask me what did I expect, did I expect it not to be hard? She would say, “Everything is hard, just keep moving. I know these are hard times. They are really, really hard times for millions. People struggle with inflation, gas prices, and a sense of hopelessness, grief, and despair. Yes, these times require perseverance, strength, and hope. We can only get through these times if we believe we can do what Coach Lawson told us we could do. We can only get through these times, I believe, if we each commit to something larger than ourselves. I believe we can rise up if we believe we can make a difference in another person’s life. So today, think about that. Realize that we can each do what the coach did. Each of us can inspire another . Each of us can help another person shift their perspective of how they see the world, even if it’s just by two degrees ." PLEASE remember, “We wait for stuff to get easier. It will never get easier. What happens is you handle hard better.” Coach Lawson And this week know, “You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren't paying attention to.” ― Robin Wi l l iams And ask yourself, are you a messenger of hope, love, and good news?
