No matter where you turn, it seems all you hear is doom and gloom, as a spirit of fear has settled over the whole nation. We’re sick of it! Get away from the “loser talk” that is permeating the airwaves—and the water coolers. If you want to discover hope, you’ve got to remove yourself from those people and places that will always bring you down.
One of the biggest challenges in restoring hope to the nation is the endless stream of opinions and information that we’re hit with throughout the day. We’re neck-deep in the information age, and it’s killing us! Sure, you need to know what’s going on in the world, but you don’t need to have the news, radio and RSS feeds going 24/7. Our advice: maintain a get in–get out attitude about news.
You will no doubt stumble upon, or even into, discussions about the economy several times a week. When you do, you have to remember that you will inject either fear or hope into the discussion. Choose hope! Watch what you say, and be mindful that your words and attitude will have an impact on those around you. If you aren’t sure what to say at all, be sure to check out our Get Informed resource section.
Speak up, America! For too long, we've allowed others to do our talking for us. Now it's time to take the conversation back! Discover all the different ways you can spread the message of hope across the country --and around the world-- in our Get Involved section. You'll be able to spread hope through Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, blogs and more!
