Many of us are always watching for bad signs, or at least those are what we focus on. They’re the ones that seem to stick in our minds, weighing us down and becoming tough to shake.
Constantly looking for the bad can leave the good in the shadows. When we do this, it’s like planting more bad seeds than good ones in our minds.
But there are so many good things—moments of light, glimmers—that deserve way more of our attention.
Glimmers are those tiny, positive signs that often slip by, little reminders that good things are happening, too.
Though our brains are wired to spot danger, trained for survival, we can work to build faith that’s stronger than this tendency.
This shift isn’t easy. It’s a muscle we must work on every day.
Over time, with intention and patience, noticing the good can become as natural as looking for the bad once was.
