The World Where You Live

How would you describe the world you live in?  I’m not asking for some vague description that you heard somewhere. I want to know how you see the world. Not what you were told by your parents, friends, your boss, the news media or society. I want to know what YOU have in your heart as a vision for this world YOU live in.  

If you are like many people I ask, you have a hard time answering the question. You will come up with things like: "they say it's all about surviving" "my world is getting the kids to school on time if I am lucky" or even "the world is a hopeless and cruel place".  Visions such as these paint such a limiting picture of the truly vast, expansive and ever-changing world.

The vision you paint for the world is the one you will live in. A limitless range of possibilities exist of what life could be if you had the paint bush. Create something where you attempt to capture what you want life in this world to be like. The fun part, there are no right or wrong answers.  No judgement will be made of the picture you create.  When you look at the world what do you want to see? What qualities would you bring to life? What do you believe you could create for the future?  

Remember this one very simple rule:  The world you create is the world where you will live.  

I will share a little of mine to get your creative juices going. I envision a world where people empower each other.  Where living from the heart and doing the right thing are just normal everyday activities.  In my world we teach our children forgiveness, compassion, love, respect, responsibility, and joy through living as examples.

There are as many visions as there are people.  I encourage you to create your own vision and to share in the comments.

If you find this helpful or know someone who needs to hear topics like these, please be sure to share.  Be a life changer. You never know what may change the course of someone’s life.
