Put on a different hat

Hey all,

We all know it's easy to get stuck in old ways of thinking, to struggle in the media muck that tends to portray the world in irreversible squalor and decay, and no doubt, to understand the issues at hand within ourselves and the world around us is definitely valuable to a point. But don't forget to take off this hat that scours for the apparent problems and troubles in the world. Put on a new hat. Try to find the really good things that are happening with yourself, with your family and friends, with the world. STOP! Before you criticize this positivist perspective, and brand it as useless optimism, actually try it out. It may be difficult at first, but it gets easier. The more links and ties you find to the greatness that is going on in the world, the more inspired you may be to think with a wider perspective and inspire others to do similarly. There is plenty out there to get you going in a good way.

This is a trailer for the documentary "I Am", directed by Tom Shadyac, a man who was forced to see the world in a different light and do something with it. Enjoy:
