I must admit, until fairly recently, I never used to think that the media were purposely spouting garbage in an attempt to brainwash people into a negative way of thinking.

Well, I am now left in no doubt that this is definitely the case!!

The other day I read an article which graced the front page of the Yahoo Home Page entitled “Are you REALLY worth it?”

I wont bore you with the whole article but suffice to say that it suggested that todays society was making people have to high a level of self esteem when they did not deserve it?!

Can you believe that?

The article went on to state that very high self esteem was as big a problem as low self esteem! It goes on to say that these contestants on TV talent shows like X Factor and Britains Got Talent, in the main, are talentless and deluded. God bless em! Are the media really that intent on brow beating us into believing that it is an offence to have ambition? Yes, I admit there are many who make us laugh they are so awful but I ask myself, “Would I get up on stage and sing, or lark about?”

The answer is No!

The article, whilst advocating that people thinking too much of themselves was making society very needy, also suggested that people should NOT drive themselves with ambition and desire.

This kind of leads you to think that maybe, just maybe, a lot of the problems in this world are actually made worse by the media style of reporting. It has been mooted that good news is not newsworthy, and that bad news and disaster gets an audience?

Well, I am here to tell you that the media are wrong.

Over the next few days and weeks, I will be writing more on why I believe this and what you need to do to move yourself towards a positive, driven way of thinking…
