"Good news is rare these days, and every glittering ounce of it should be cherished and hoarded and worshipped and fondled like a priceless diamond." - Hunter S. Thompson
Let's SHARE some GOOD NEWS today!
Isn't it just sad how bad news will travel at the speed of light
and breed quicker than a virus on steroids,
yet each and every single day of our life we are offered more blessings
than we could even know what to do with,
yet you never see any of these hitting the headlines!
Regrettably, people have become conditioned
to feed off the things which destroy the soul the most….
It brought to mind an old Indian philosophy….
Which I thought I would share as a little food for thought for the day….
Some of you may be familiar with it already…
THE TALE OF THE TWO WOLVES
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
Simple story - GREAT symbolism!
So, on that basis,
how about we share some
GOOD NEWS
in the comments section of this post today
and actively engage in some of the AMAZING things happening in our lives
instead of the opposite ;)
Looking forward to sharing in your HAPPINESS!
Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx
Somebody's getting married today... and we are going to the reception! It's good news for the bride and groom and good news for me... they will have lots of fiesta food and plenty to drink! So, good news all around!
Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is!

Have a great day Jaynie 😉😊😚
Lovely quote dear, thank you @valensia x
It's funny (and sad) how easy it is to talk about the bad things that happen (like, "OMG! Did you hear what happened to XYZ today? Isn't that awful?" but it's harder to come up with something positive. Love that you're focusing on the good stuff, @jaynie!
My bit of good news - my neighborhood birds, who have been scarce for a few months, discovered the new food I put out. Now as I'm Steeming, I hear the chirping of our overwinter birds (woodpeckers, finches, and bluebirds), and it almost feels like spring! 💚 🐦
That's awesome @traciyork! I love bringing the birds in my my garden too! And we have so many different kinds here too... although I am not very good at identifying them lol - in fact Jude knows more birds than I do, as when we are on holiday he spends a lot of time with his granny, bird watching through his binoculars. :)
If it weren't for an online bird photo ID app (sadly broken at the moment) and a couple of FB groups I belong to, I'd still be calling them, "that b&w bird" and "that upside down bird" and "that bratty bird" - LOL! That' so cool that Jude gets to hang with his granny and learn about our feathered friends - sounds like a wonderful experience!
Good news is a bit like gratitude @jaynie, we have to train ourselves to make it a practice to find it.
The good news of today (not yesterday when you wrote this) is that a major investment service that ranks cryptocurrencies gave Steem a "B" rating today... one of only FIVE in the world to be ranked B or higher. As a result, we're all a little better off today.
Happy Dance Indeed @denmarkguy :) and yes you are right... it is a lifestyle practice.
Good news, I was able to save a bunch of my money on car insurance by switching to geico....
nah but really the good news is I got my closest cousin to get an account and try dlive today. hes my best friend
I am slowly becoming someone that people come to for steemit and i want to build a strong network and its super exciting for the goals and plans I want to accomplish haha.
Thank you @jaynie. I am thankful that I 'm relatively healthy.The fact is I was NOT 6 months ago. Not at all !!! So I give thanks for that.
And also I give thanks in finding Steemit the last month.
What a blessing :)
Cheers,
Robert

I totally agree with your perspective on this subject.
I'll share a good news, it's something I never even got to realise until reading this post.
I was supposed to graduate from the University in 2016, but due to my inability to settle my final year bills, I'm am a sort of drop out.
I tend to put so much pressure on myself because of this situation. What I forgot to remember is that in the last couple of months, I have been able to acquire new skills, meet new people who happen to be amazing. I have also had time to experience life outside the academic world and I also became a member of the STEEMIT family.
I have indeed achieved a lot. Thanks for sharing @jaynie
You inspire positivity in a beautiful way effortlessly!😍💕
Great post tnx for sharing I just upvoted steemit all the way check out my new post.
I‘ll definitly try to feed the good wolf today. If it worked today then I‘ll try to concentrate on it. Thx for the great motivation ;-)
Beautifull post And agree with you .,.. When we Give happnies to other then we Happy More @jaynie Resteemed
I know how to breathe by owning the air, I know the great and rich life is simplicity, i know real love is brotherhood because helping to known people is good but helping all and boundlessly is an greatest art of greatest soul, i know the real education is our life and i attend the lecture of my innerself in self introspection everyday, i am aware of negatives and positives of this world, so i don't run for materialistic things. Always remember that, your thoughts drives you so always feed positive and happy thoughts so that you can be stay and spread happiness. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day and stay blessed.
Nobody and nothing can exist without one or another food, our thoughts, too. It turns out we are quite responsible for the way we think, and energy follows in the thought tail for either jumping into paradise or to get eaten by the angry, envious and arrogant wolf ; -)
