My cousin Lew sent me this video and I loved it so much I want to share it with you. It's called "Playing For Change"

Not only did I love the video but it sparked my thought process and I love it when something ignites and sets fire to my brainwaves and gets my juices flowing!

I think we are at a very pivotal point in the world right now. We are changing directions and changing leadership. I am just thrilled that Barack Obama is going to be sworn in Tuesday as our new President. I believe this man was brought to us for a reason. I believe there is a greater good at work here and that this moment in time is exactly how it is supposed to be. Yes, there is a historic moment about to unfold right before our eyes but I feel it is more than just that.

We are on the edge of something life altering. There is a shift that is happening and I think it is occuring all over the world. I feel a sense of hope and renewal and it gives me a good feeling. Today is pivotal. You want to see our world change? Then make it happen. Be a part of the solution not the problem.

Be the change you want to see in the world. That is a very powerful statement, so let me say it again. BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.

It doesn't matter what has happened in the past. It doesn't matter that so and so did this or so and so did that. What matters is today, right now. You want a different outcome than what you have been getting, then change is the operative word here. You want it to change? Then it is up to YOU!

Can you imagine the impact we could have on the world if everyone adopted that attitude and made it a choice that from this moment forward you were going to not complain or focus on everything that is going wrong in your world but to direct your focus on making your world a better place to live?

Maybe it is your home, maybe it is something in your relationships with others, maybe it is something in your community or your schools or churches, or your government or the world. Whatever it is... it has the ability to change for the better.

It is possible. You may think, but I am just one person ....how am I ever going to impact the whole wide world around me? Well you know what? It has to start somewhere and why not be the one to make the choice to do it? And if you do it and I do it..that's two. And if you get your friends and family to do it and they do the same.. it can have quite an impact.

You want world peace? Then make your surrounding world a place a peace. Did you know it is totally up to you when you let somebody rob you of your peace? Did you know that when you respond to them that you are giving away your power? Do you really want to go around giving your power away to everyone else? NO! Of course not. Make a decision to be at peace and to make your world a place of peace even when others around you aren't peaceful. It is a choice.

Before you know it, it will be noticed and somebody next to you will say... I want some of that. It is so easy to make it happen and they can do it too. It's kind of like pay it forward or the domino effect. Just like spreading kindness, and goodness and love, it is a choice we choose to make.

What do you want to change in your world right now? What is stopping you? Because if you really are honest with yourself the only person that is stopping you is you.

Choose to make a difference right now. Choose to be the change you want to see in the world.

Spread love and spread kindness and it will surround you.
