My friends tease me that I watch way too much TV. (I usually counter by saying that maybe I'm doing research and one day I'll put my playwriting and other writing experience to good use and become a famous writer for a television show). But sometimes I get inspiration or at least some really good ideas by watching.
Last week, I kept teasing my son by repeating the mantra from the show My Name Is Earl – "Do good things and good things come back to you." Earl claimed he got this message about Karma from Carson Daly (and, yes, I know it has been around much longer than Carson Daly has even been alive.) The thing is I believe in Karma (not because Earl says so but just because I do). In spite of everything, I try to keep upbeat and positive and doing good things for others. It seems like it does come back to me in one way or another.
Today there was a guest on a talk show explaining about how keeping a good attitude will help immensely in this recession. I wholeheartedly agree. Sometimes it's not easy. I can get caught up in the fear. But when I get myself away from that and get more positive, life seems a little easier in the long run.
