Good news?

So lately I hear spiritually inclined folks talk about not watching the nightly news..that energy focused on negativity inherent in most news manifests more negativity in the world. I do think about that. I mean, we can't be doing that ostrich mythos of putting our head in the sand can we? It might be naive to think that one can actually bypass all the negativity in this world ...it's on computers,radios, newspapers and in the talk of your friends. It would be worth a try however...to divert ones eyes from unpleasantness...to manifest a beautiful world based on one believing that there is only good out there. It sounds so space cadet but why poo-poo something without giving it a try? Do we manifest what we focus on? Supposedly this "secret" which hasn't been a secret to most pagan folks is worth attempting. Maybe this is one way I can help all? If I just scream and moan about a bad situation and not give one ounce of help to it except to send on the info to another person who just screams and so on and so forth...can good come of it? perhaps..perhaps by bringing it to someone who CAN do something about it...but there will always be those people doing that. Maybe my job for awhile will be to focus on good and only good and manifest that moreso? Maybe that is one small way I can help ? Just thinking.
