Be the Light in Dark Times

Do you feel overwhelmed by all the bad news? Ever wonder how you can make a positive difference?

When we’re surrounded by negative headlines, it’s easy to feel helpless. But there’s a way to shift our focus and find hope. Instead of only seeing the problems, try to look for the “helpers”. These are people who step in to support, comfort, and make a change. These helpers show us that, even in hard times, there is kindness and action.

By focusing on these people, we can remind ourselves that good exists, even in difficult situations. This doesn’t mean ignoring what’s wrong; it’s about choosing to see what’s right too. And here’s the empowering part: we can all choose to be one of the helpers. Small acts of kindness and support can lift others and bring light, even on the toughest days.

Here’s how you can get ready to shift your focus:

• Look for the good—notice those making positive impacts around you.
• Take small steps to help—whether it’s a kind word or lending a hand.
• Be hopeful—believe that your actions can make a difference.

In a world of challenges, focus on the helpers and choose to be one. Together, we can make a positive impact.
