thoughts: I’m trying to do what I think we need to get through this difficult time in our evolution as a species: sharing inspirational stories. So many people I talk to feel powerless in their ability to make the world better by responding to the problems that need to be addressed with positive action. I believe that part of the reason is because they look around and don’t see other people in their lives or those shown in mainstream media stepping up to the plate and doing good. What’s is so especially important in this world is to realize that everyone one of us needs to do their part in order for positive change to happen. Even if that part is to influence something bigger then oneself to take action - like, for example, a government body that is capable of creating massive change through legislation. The Great News Network exists to provide that vital piece to the individual - stories of positive change happenning here and now.
Get inspired.
