The World Is Better Than We Think

Improving Systems and Habits

Using systems and habits to improve your life is a proven method to succeed. It requires seeing the work as a system and then adjusting your thoughts and behaviors to be able to take advantage of your opportunities in life.

The World Is Better Than We Think

Scott Miker

It’s easy to feel like the world is getting worse—news, social media, and our personal struggles can make it seem that way. But if we step back and look at the bigger picture, the data tells a different story. Globally, poverty is at its lowest, and crime trends downward. So why does it feel worse?

  • Perception Shapes Reality – What we believe becomes our truth. If we assume the world is falling apart, we filter information to confirm that belief.

  • Our Inner World Matters Most – The systems closest to us—our relationships, work, and mindset—impact us more than external events. Fortunately, we can control them.

  • We See What We Focus On – If we look for negativity, we’ll find it. But positivity is just as present if we choose to see it.

We’re not powerless. We can challenge our perceptions, shift our focus, and design a better life. Books like Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman reveal that humanity is far more compassionate than we’re led to believe.

If you think the world is terrible, you’re right. If you think it’s amazing, you’re also right. The difference? What you choose to see. The world is better than we think—we just have to notice it.
