Hi Divka,

I'm with you. It's hard to be an optimist in today's world. I try to keep up with current events but I notice the more news I read, watch, and hear, the more hopeless I feel. It can even lead to depression. My husband can see the effects and will ask me to avoid the news sometimes, for a little while anyway.

My hope is that things will change in 2012. I won't go into detail, but I've read that while some believe 2012 will usher in the apocalypse, many others believe that there will be a shift in consciousness resulting in a global spiritual awakening. If you're not familiar with the various 2012 theories it is definitely worth researching.

I understand this could be another fluke prophecy and that 2012 may come and go without incident, but what's the harm in hoping?

In the mean time I'm going to avoid the negativity of the outside world by using my time to be a good parent, take care of my body, learn more about my spirituality and work on its development, help others when I can, and continue to reduce the impact my family and I have on the environment. The more time I spend working on myself and taking care of my loved ones, the less time I have to let the rest of the world get me down.
