The Shakespeare quote above got me thinking about how our attitude can make such a big difference.

We can look at evil in the world and think of how horrible the world is and bemoan the fact that everything isn’t going the way we think it should. OR we can look at darkness in the world and want to provide light.

Our light. The one we shed when we love and serve others. The one that shines with a kind word to a stranger, a donation at church or some free time volunteered for a worthy cause.

The quote also reminded me of one my core beliefs: the 51% rule. The idea that at any given point there is more good than evil in the world.

There is darkness. But there is more light.

Make it a great weekend.
