Focus On The Good Philosophy
Focus on the good is not just a podcast it is a life philosophy! Whatever we focus on is usually what we will see. If we are looking for the good things in the world, we are going to find them. If we are focusing on all the bad things in the world, that is all we will see. If you are looking for the good within your community, you will find it. If you are looking for the good within the people around you, you will find it. If you are looking for the good within yourself, you will find it. But if you are looking for the bad, that is what you will find.
Are there bad things in the world? OF COURSE! But why should we focus on them? As Tony Robbins says: “What’s wrong is always available, but so is what’s right!” When you focus on the good things in your life and are grateful for them you will find more of it, and I believe whatever we focus on grows. You can see it around you. The happiest people are grateful and have a positive attitude. I am sure you have also seen people that seem to have everything but are miserable because they are ungrateful.
This even applies to the problems in our lives. Unfortunately all of us go through problems and trials in our lives. When you go through those trials you can be fearful and let them break you, or you can choose to grow from the situation. When I go through a trial in my life I like to focus on how it can make me better. I focus on how I will be a better person on the other side because I went through this trial. Ever since I have adopted this philosophy in my life it has made my problems so much easier and I have been a much happier person because I have found meaning in my trials. A true attitude of gratitude is not just about being grateful for the things you have, but also being grateful for the ordeals that shape you. I believe the true secret to happiness is gratitude. I choose to live a life filled with the attitude of gratitude. I choose to focus on the good, and I hope you will too.

The PodcastThe Focus On The Good podcast is your weekly dose of positivity. It is my attempt to follow Gandhi’s advice and “be the change I wish to see in the world.” The podcast is about three things. The power of a positive worldview, how to achieve your goals, and, how to have a positive impact on the world around you. Each episode will either focus on a topic or will be an interview. The people I will interview will be everyone from high achievers to everyday people that are making a difference in their communities.

About Me

My name is Jake Ballentine. I am a musician, motivational speaker and author. Most of my work is with youth as I use music to make a difference presenting to youth audiences around the country. I am married to my beautiful wife Caitlin and live in Sacramento CA. I have been “thinking about” creating this podcast for more than two years. Recently I decided to stop “thinking about” things and start DOING things and here it is. I am very excited for this project and I hope you enjoy listening!
Thanks, Jake Ballentine http://www.jakeballentine.com |
