Like all of you, if someone asked me to watch a 25 minute You Tube clip, I would probably apologize & say I was too busy. Or pretend to have watched it & just give it a thumbs up on Facebook. Yet sometimes ideas & messages come from the most unusual sources, making us step outside of our comfort zone for a reason.One of the students I've assisted at North Shore Community College is a man in his mid-thirties who has not led an easy life. Drug addiction, homelessness, & incarceration are just a few of the challenges he has tackled. His toughness is apparent on the exterior. However, after getting to know him over the past year, I am reminded that it is what's on the inside that truly counts. He has taught me much & continues to be a source of inspiration, knowing that it is never too late to fulfill your goals & dreams. True philosophers & messengers don't always have a halo.
With all of his problems, he still dreams of a world where people are kind to one another & where the power of positive thinking leaves us limitless in what we can achieve. Imagine lessening violent crime by collectively sending out positive thoughts & love into the universe. Or changing your future for the better because you choose to look on the positive side with love in your heart instead of letting negative emotions overtake you.
You've all heard the expression, "You get what you give". Isn't it time to give out good vibes & receive good vibes in return? Just think of all we can accomplish together!
Please consider checking out this beautifully produced video entitled, 2012 - A Message of Hope, recommended by my enlightened student & friend. You won't believe how powerful our hearts are until you watch this. Yes, it is definitely worth 25 minutes of your life. Consider it your meditation for the week. The energy you devote to it will make our world a better place because the power of love & positive thoughts is unstoppable.
