Each and every one of us could be kinder, more giving, and generous—to ourselves, our families, those we come across everyday, as well as to our environment. Although it may be cliché, bringing more goodness into our world starts with that person staring back at you in the mirror.
Hi, my name is Ken Ferrara, a thirty-something, typical family guy living near Chicago. I'm married with three kids, and continually learning that in order to be a better person, I must constantly focus on the good things in life—not the finer things, but the good ones.
I have been asked repeatedly why I'm qualified to write this book. My answer is always the same, “I'm simply a person trying to live a better life.” I'm no more or less qualified than anyone else. I don’t claim to always practice what I've written here and have made many mistakes.
Undoubtedly, I will make more; but, that doesn't mean I can't keep moving forward and try to do a little something to make each day a little better. Do I stick to my campaign everyday? Of course not, but I can find ways to improve and do better as long as I keep trying.
This whole endeavor started approximately fourteen years ago when I found it therapeutic to pour my thoughts and feelings on scratch paper as I was going through some tough times with my family. Those notes contained reminders of all the blessings in my life, how I wanted to change for the better, and what I needed to do in order to accomplish those goals. Eventually, the scribbled-on papers coalesced into this book.
Even though I wrote much of these words years ago, I am embarrassed to say that quite often, and sometimes quite easily, I forget just how much I have been given and how much more I should be giving. But, I've learned to give myself the benefit of the doubt because life is an ongoing work in progress where a person can always make things better. With that, let's embark on our collective goodness campaign…and get back to goodview less
