Every day, heroes are around us all the time, yet we rarely hear about them. When we listen to the news and catch the headlines, sometimes it feels like a World gone mad. Have you noticed though, how newspapers sell when they have a negative story to catch our attention? 

Yet, there are thousands of stories we seldom hear about, where people and small groups reach out to help others or be kind, not because they have to, but because they want to. The Spirit Guides want us to know that there are a growing number of people who are waking up to their own true nature of love and kindness and are acting on it. And . . . the more this happens, the more Light overcomes Darkness in the world.

Here are a couple of stories I caught recently. One was about a lady who remembered a few days late, that her savings was in her discarded refrigerator. She went to the junk yard, but they couldn’t find it amid the piles of scrap metal and car parts. But then Mike Downer, who worked there, went the extra mile and found the refrigerator squashed between two cars. He working hard to pull them apart and found the money.

The lady, thinking it was hopeless, hadn’t left her number. After Mike retrieved the money, they alerted the media and found her. The lady, of course, was delighted to have her savings returned and decided to use a bank in the future.

The amazing picture in the next column was taken in Australia. While getting off of the train, a man fell, and his leg was caught between the train and the platform. He was trapped and couldn’t get out. The commuters all came together and actually created sufficient strength to push the train far enough for him to be pulled free. When enough people get together, going the same direction, they can create miracles.

Did you know that we can always find what we are looking for? If we are looking for problems or ‘What’s wrong with the World.’ Guess what? We can prove it and easily make a huge list of all of the things that are wrong and awful. It’s easy to spot them.

But the opposite is true as well. If we look for things that delight and inspire us. We’ll find them too. All it takes is a shift of attention. Decide what you want to focus on. You’ll be surprised how things you didn’t even notice before will pop out at you. When is the last time you REALLY noticed a flower, a garden, a scene, a sunrise or sunset on the same old road that you drive all of the time? Take a fresh look, see what you’ve been missing.

When we are in an Attitude of Gratitude for all the things around us, somehow the people seem nicer or what they do doesn’t bother us quite as much as it did before. Laughter is a wonderful, positive boost to the energy around us. Music affects us too. Deliberately, choose what feels good, play with it, and see how you can actually affect the energy.

You’ve heard the old saying, “What goes around, comes round.” Be kind. Be caring. Be happier because what you add to the World, just like a Boomerang, will come back to you. So why not make it a better place?
