A good friend of mine recently forwarded a great newsletter called The Week in Good News.<\/h2>\n

If you are familiar with our Designer of Reality stories you will know that we believe that spreading positive news is the best way to “positively” transform our world.\u00a0 Every “happy” story sends ripples of love and appreciation out into cosmos.\u00a0 We are surrounded by “bad news”.\u00a0 There is an army of people who spend their lives searching for and chronicling every tragedy and unfortunate event they can find – the more awful the better for ratings it would seem.\u00a0 Those “bad news” stories have many people fearing or at least anxious about the days ahead.<\/p>\n

Why do so many people focus on and want to share all the bad news?\u00a0 It is because most of us are run by a basic operating system, commonly called the ego, which originated in a time when survival was much more difficult.\u00a0 If you didn’t know about all the dangerous things in your world, a shorter lifespan was inevitable.\u00a0 The prime directive for our ego basic operating system is to protect us from harm.\u00a0 Therefore that part of your brain wants to be aware of all the bad stuff so it can try and protect you from it.\u00a0 Sadly, we now live in a world where we are bombarded non-stop by the stories generated by a highly sophisticated and professional army of people who are ready to feed your fears.\u00a0 You need to remember that your brain works very much like an electronic computer – everything taken in by your senses is programming how you think and respond to the world.<\/p>\n

Since what you believe about the world creates your “reality” the continuous input of problems and anguish can create a very depressing world view.\u00a0 It is very important to realize that the way you think affects all of your actions and outcomes.\u00a0 Don’t get caught in the trap of thinking “reality” just is because there are no two people who live in the exact same reality.\u00a0 Reality is whatever you believe it to be and your outcomes will always fall in line with your beliefs and expectations.\u00a0\u00a0This is why it is so important to counteract all that negative programming with more positive, hopeful input.\u00a0 One of the most effective ways to change your outlook for the better is to just turn off the “news”.\u00a0 If you won’t do that at least provide that bio-computer of yours with as much “good news” as you can find.<\/p>\n

For this reason we applaud Des Shoe and The New York Times for their “act of kindness” by being determined to be a powerful “bearer of good news”.\u00a0 Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good morning, and welcome to The Week in Good News.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
As\u00a0I\u2019ve listened to your feedback over the last several months, I\u2019ve heard so many wonderful ideas and suggestions for what you want to read here and how to make this newsletter really special.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Many of you have said that you want to read more about simple, everyday kindness. So here’s something I\u2019d like to try: Will you, the readers of this newsletter, share a recent act of kindness you\u2019ve experienced in your life? It could be an uplifting word from a stranger, a helping hand or a Good Samaritan stepping in.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Tell us what happened in this encounter and what it meant to you. Send your acts of kindness to\u00a0goodnews@nytimes.com<\/a>; I\u2019ll read them and select one or two to share in next week’s roundup.\u00a0(If you\u2019d prefer that your entry not be published, please let me know.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I\u2019m really looking forward to hearing from you all.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
