What's Here?

I read something recently by a John Garder that I like. “some people strengthen the society just by being the kind of people they are”
I guess I like that because at the moment there seems to be such an emphasis on the ills of society.  Every day it seems I see on tv despicable acts.  Acts that show man’s inhumanity to man and the lack of caring for others in the pursuit of personal gain.
I will not deny thing are not good, but I will not emphasise what is not good.  For me the key to good is thinking about good.  It is the putting aside all that my lower nature would want and do.  It is doing what may be harder, and contrary to my lesser inclinations, but will help both myself and others.
I think that who I am is not my profession, which may be a physician or mechanic or lawyer or a multitude of things but what my character is.  I have been to physicians that do not care for me, and mechanics that seemed to only want to rip me off.  Yet I have also been to physician and mechanics and the like that who take a genuine interest in me and will do all possible to bring light to perhaps a dark situation.
That is my aspiration.  I know I need help to be all I can be.  I also like “everyone of us has in him (them) undiscovered continents of character.”  When I go down untrodden paths of my character, sometimes I like what I see and at other times I do not.
The song may be glib but I do like “accentuate the positive.”  I do like to say that “what I think about grows bigger.”  I like to make no room for the negative as I am spending all my energy and thought in the realm of the positive.
For me doing what is right may take more effort and I know I need help with, but as I read somewhere, I never have to apologise for that.  It may be something new but for me it is worth exploring.  It may be a way less travelled, but it is getting busier.
