Now is the time to shift our thinking from “I can’t possibly make a difference,” to “I will be one of the people who will focus my energies on working purely and simply for the benefit of humankind so that we can change the course of history and move to a place of love and compassion for our community, city, state, nation, and the world.”
“The purpose of life is not to be happy – but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all.” Leo Rosten
Keeping the mind and heart focused on the possibility of what “can be” while remaining positive today can be a major uphill battle.
When the world gets me down, when the words of wise men and women drive a dagger in my heart, and when the actions of our leaders work for the few and not the whole, I do my best to look for the possibility of what “can be” and focus on the positive.
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” Anne Frank
What you think about and imagine the most will be what you create in your life. When you think about and imagine what seems to be an impossible idea on a regular basis, you will have embarked on “the impossible dreaming journey,” and you will be one step closer to making the impossible, possible.
Dreaming what you perceive as impossible thoughts or dreams can lead you through new doors of perception and opportunity. It is important to remain open to different and unexpected thinking when embarking on the “impossible dreaming journey.”
It is only when we start to think and believe that our thoughts and dreams are not impossible, that they can become real, that they can become possible.
We are the only ones that can influence the changes necessary to turn the tide and redirect the flow of hope and compassion back into our reservoir, and to fill our hearts and those of the citizens of the world with the possibility of changing the course of history for the betterment of all.
“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.” William James
Our challenge is to focus on the possibility of what “can be” while remaining positive through the challenges of change.
Let me know what you think.
Until next week, remember the only boxes that exist are the ones you create yourself.
