The Overdramatic Worldview
Things are bad and getting worse. The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. The world is ending, probably next week. Western media sells bad news, and the people are buying like it’s Black Friday and sharing it on social media.
The Fact-Based Worldview
“Step by step, year by year, the world is improving. Not on every single measure, every single year, but as a rule. Though the world faces huge challenges, we have made tremendous progress.”
(From Factfulness, by Hans Rosling)
Shake off the election year hangover. Look back at the last 11 months and find three things to be thankful for.
Here are mine:
- My family is healthy and thriving (but far from perfect)
- We have the most powerful team ever assembled under the XM brands.
- The more generously I have served, the more blessings I have received. (We recommend testing this approach.)
Make your list.
Check your worldview.
Then, check out of work for a few days, and be all in with your family. Feast, rest, play, re-energize.
See you in December.
