Creating Postive Change Right Now

What do you want the future to look like? Do you want it to look like this?

An old saying says: Yesterday is gone, the future is unknown, but the greatest gift we have is being here right now…that’s why it’s called a present."

I’ve always believed that there is a lot of truth to this little saying. We are here right now, creating a future we will live in forever. Think of all the decisions that have been made by your past relatives and you think…why did you do that? They did it to get you to be where you are right now. Also, you are where they were.

You are here, right here, in the now. The things you do with your next seconds, minutes, and moments will define the paths and opportunities that are created to create the future.The decisions we're going to make today, this generation, this year will be looked on by countless generations and we will be asked: why did you do that?

Think of the many decisions that created insanity in our past:

Slavery

Jim crow laws

Apartheid

Ripping apart ground soil to create the dust bowl of the 30's

The  Wall Street crash 30's, 70's, 80's

Wars

deforestation

Pipelines that are now leaking

Pollution

Climate Change

Native American destruction

Holocaust

the list goes on and on...

 

We look back at the decisions of history and constantly ask...Why?  Why'd you think that was a good idea?  Why did you think that was right?

Now...right now...we have the ability to create a "Now" a "moment" where the future generations will say...that was a great idea.

Things like:

Creating the parks and rec depts.

National Forests

Ending slavery

Equal rights no matter race, creed, or disability

US constitution

Social Security

Universal Health care (Not in the US)

Peace

 

What do you want the future to be like? What do you want the future to look like? Whatever your answer is…create it, and make it better than our current reality.

We have the ability to change the world, but first we must change the next minute, and the one after that. Let me know the awesome things you’re doing…and I’d be happy to showcase and put it on the blog: motivatingforpositivechange.wordpress.com Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thank You
