Create the change you want to see in the world
By
All eyes were on Obama this week as he was inaugurated on Tues. What strikes me is the hope that this one person is generating not just in the US where he is now President but all over the world.
Obama comes into office at a time when the world is in crisis – economically, politically and socially. His task is an enormous one and he is just one human being. JFK said: “Ask not what America can do for you but what you can do for America.”
The only way we can create the change we want to see in the world is for each and every one of us to step into the light and make the impact we are meant to have. Individually and collectively, we can create our present and our future. When every one of us leads from the heart, then we will generate real and lasting change for the better.
How will you use your talents for the greater good of the world?
What one thing will you do differently for the sake of a better world?
Corrina Gordon-Barnes of You Inspire Me writes about this beautifully in her signature article on The world needs your passion where she asks every one of us to make our unique contribution to society.
No doubt Obama had doubts along the way. No doubt he wondered if he was doing the right thing, if he would succeed, if he can really do what he is passionate about. If he listened to the reasons why not, then he would never have become President of the United States and would never have the impact on the world in the way that we are hoping he will.
It’s up to each of us to dare to dream big and to create the opportunities to turn those dreams into reality. For the sake of the world.
In the song “Over the rainbow”, it says: “The dreams that you dare to dream really do come true”
The only person who can make them happen is you.
Will you make your dreams come true for the sake of a better world?
Eva Cassidy sang a really beautiful version of this song. Put down what you are doing for 5 minutes and really let the music wash over you.
Share your dreams in the comments below and start to make them happen.
With love,
