Media Madness or Media Meaning–You Choose!

I’m glad to have helping me today blog about this issue, my very rational and upward thinking good friend from Washington, Jeanette. So here we go…

Media is a means of communication that reaches or influences people widely. Typically in the form radio and television, newspapers, and magazines.

The national media should take note! We’re tired of reading and hearing about all the celebrities deaths, divorces, and dalliances. Are there not more intriging, pressing, vital and ground-breaking issues to report????

For example….have you read anything about some real heros climbing a mountain in Africa because they have a passion about curing 2 diseases? If not, go, read, and be inspired by real regular people who give something back to their fellowman at www.theRegulars.org!

Or how about, scientific advances in medical research that can transform lives of people all around us? If we put the same effort effort into saving the industries that our economy is so dependent on, into saving peoples lives who can further impact other lives, more than our pocketbook might be enhanced.

We are entranced by the insignificant, and disinterested in the vital. Oprah, Jon & Kate, cellulite at the beach, peeks into where we should never be…that is where we are. Are these things really going to make a difference in anything?

Our hearts and minds are facing the wrong direction–inward for selfish reasons instead of inward in a search for our meaning and purpose in life. So many sit and think ‘the other guy’ will make the difference for them. Then one misses the spark that ignites the flame, which provides a fuel to keep on facing challenges, and brings a warm comfort that our souls desire .

So what we do to make this different? Make a decision, stop being spectators..find a passion that will impact more than your life, and go at it with every thing you got! It may not seem like enough to make a difference, but it will!!! Your life could be news to another. It could be media with meaning.

Your choice: accept the media madness or find your meaning and purpose…create your own news.
