A Powerful Statement

“Create the world you want to see.”

This was on a bumper sticker I saw while attending the Peterborough Folk Festival this past weekend. 

I read it, read it again and then again.

Then I said wow!

This is a powerful statement.

Let’s say it again:

“Create the world you want to see.”

We live in a world of plenty. 

Of both wants and needs met. 

And yet many of us are unhappy. 

Many of us are searching for more.

When I read this quote it hit me how easy it is to be happy, 

to live the life you want, 

to wake up every morning with appreciation and gratitude 

for what we experience, have and receive from each other and this planet.

We are the creator of our days, our weeks, our years. 

We have control over the choices we make. 

We can stop searching. 

We can and do create our world. 

I pondered this quote. 

I thought about the world I want to see. 

I thought about the world I create. 

I reflected on where I have been and how far I have come. 

I put down on paper the world I want to see...a world filled with love, trust, gratitude and joy. 

A world filled with understanding and compassion, honesty and forgiveness. 

A world where we live in harmony with this earth, close to her and supporting her. 

A world where we value the wonderful gifts we receive from the land, enjoying and sharing them. 

A world where we come together as one to celebrate, to cry, to give thanks, to grow, 

to learn, to change and to be who we really are.

I will “create the world I want to see” by living the above. 

What I put out there I receive back and in return the world I want to see is created.
