Why do we follow media news?

Can we give examples when positive news in the media flooded negative?

Most of the news that we receive are negative because we do not care about positive news, even tough positive thinking is a trend, life philosophy and how we have to live in the moment, follow our dreams and go without fear of failure.

Still, we are surrounded by a negative, the media are serving us with negative news, wanting to deal with things that will draw our attention from ourselves. They create some stress in some way.

Should we stop following the news?

Why do we follow them all?

Just to say, I do not follow the news.

Local news

I can not count the amount of negative news that are being published every day because I do not follow the news. The only thing that I follow on these portals is sport and fake fitness articles just to comment on the them because it’s expanding my reach.

Here in Croatia, some news somehow manage to come to my attention, so here are some of them.

Are we going to ratify some convention – what does it have to do with my personal development, the development of my business?

I remember a long time ago, whether we are for or against marriage – what does this have to do with me?

Some politician steals half the money from the state – what does this have to do with me?

We bought old warplanes that were useless – who cares?

The minister gave a job to his friend – and what do I do with that information?

Local environment

What happens when we follow the news, and 99% of people are crazy and follow every news and every country’s negativity. I’ll explain it in a couple of simple steps.

1. People spend their free time in reading of negative news, reading negative comments, engaging in discussions that are 100% waste of time, meaningless, and without any effect

2. A person has no other topic to talk than about negative situation in the state, and all the negativity he receives through the news portals is using to blame for his own failure

3. A person becomes an ambassador of negativity, and everyone who watches the world positively consider idealists and unrealistic fanatics who will soon experience their black fate or something like that

It happens that a person’s free time that he or she could invest in their own development through reading a book or working on their brand is used for completely unnecessary things, becomes a media sheep and with every new news stops thinking with her head, is confident that nothing can be done and agrees to less than it deserves.

It’s basically faith of most of the people.

What to do?

We have two options:

• to be part of a negative environment
• to create a positive environment

Let’s create our own environment. The environment in which we do not follow the news that does not provide value but we are creating news through our works and acomplishments. Let’s concentrate on positive people and eliminate any negativity from our own life, served by the media and news portals.

Some will say that I am idealizing and should be aware of what is happening in the state, but I just do not care.

I have nothing from following the negative news.

I have a lot from creating positive news.

So again, I ask why, why are we following the news at all? Let’s take the time we invest in following various media negativities into personal development, reading, education, and developing our own environment that will create positive news.
