So often the headlines are dominated by bad news.  The headlines capture our attention.  They scare us.  They make us feel less safe.  But the facts simply do not support this view.  In reality, the world shows remarkable signs of progress.  Here are three amazing stats that just blew me away:

 

People living in extreme poverty decreases by 217,000 people per day!

325,000 more people are able to access electricity every day!

300,000 more people get access to clean water every day!
