The daily news is so riddled with bad news - it is what sells and what reporters are paid to do - report what gets our attention. Our brains are wired to fix things, therefore we are easily attracted to negative news. However, there is so much good that is happening each day that is never reported. People are doing extraordinary things in their lives on a daily basis. <br />One of my favorite books is: Unstoppable by Cynthia Kersey and is another way to remind myself that great things happen that we do not hear about.<br />I think that Pollyana can remind us to see what is good in the world, because it is out there, just not reported. Even Pollyana had a hard time seeing what was good when her legs became paralyzed. But,it was the people who she taught to think differently who came to her and supported her when she needed support.<br />Our job as coaches is similar in that we provide support when clients sometimes can not see what is possible for them - not that we paint a rosy picture, but we can hold the mirror of their life up to them so that they can see what was right there before but unnoticed. Just like the people in Pollyana's world, they just did not see what was right there before them until she helped them think in a different way.<br />Thanks for sharing your perspective!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524889210595628764noreply@blogger.com
