forget the pain in our lives

forget the pain in our lives for just
a little while, flipping channels
as a form of self-medication and
tuning out.

But what if, instead, you filled that
time with activities that enriched
you, educated you - things that
genuinely entertained you and
nourished you?
How would you fill the empty
hours?
Writing that elusive novel.
Starting a business. Singing.
Playing with your children.
Spending time with your lover
or your friends. Spending time
with yourself. Having deep
conversations that spur epiphanies
and growth. Long-neglected
hobbies. That project you never
seem to have time for, that relative
you keep wishing you knew better.
Those dusty books on the shelf.
Your soul.
Turn off the TV and connect with
your life. You only get the one.
 Steeping ourselves in this

negativity keeps us from focusing
on the positive.
What can you do? You can
opt out of the news; there’s no
requirement to watch or listen.
You’ll be far better off without
it - and when something actually
important happens, you’ll still
know. People will talk about it and
it will seep through, and then you
can choose to either take heed or
ignore.


they have a choice, too.
Choose to live your life differently,
and you start a revolution simply

by being yourself.
