Hope For the Future

“If you want to build a ship, don’t herd people together to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.”—Antoine de Saint-Exupery

There are lots of things to worry about. If you’re paying any attention at all to the news, you can see these things everywhere, on all levels, from inflation, oil prices, antibiotic resistant viruses, the housing market is crumbling, earthquakes and tsunamis, the crazy out of control deficit and the weak dollar, the polar bears—um. . . I could go on, but A) we all know what’s going on and B) I am making the conscious decision to nurture the beautiful things in life and impact the present with positivity.

It’s a challenge. From every angle, we’re pushed to interact on a very fearful, scarcity driven level. It is my desire in life to act as a catalyst for courage and abundance, self persuasion to the point of shifting reality, switching frames for everyone that I come in contact with.

This means, my readers, that I am opening up new avenues for exploration. I will always teach and continue to learn and advance the field of persuasion. That will remain a constant in my life. The new venture, though inextricably enmeshed with the field of persuasion (as far as persuasion goes), is going to be a new focus for me in terms of filling the void that we seem to find within us in these trying times. Instead of continuing to accumulate, I will be giving the tools—both old and new—to align ourselves with the proper mindset.

The law of resonance works like this: say you’re an unbelievably happy, upbeat, positive person, and you are working with a very depressive, negative person. . . well, it’s like the rock and the hard place. Either their energy will come up to meet you or your energy will begin to be depleted. Most likely, the two levels meet somewhere in the middle. That’s how it works on an unconscious level, at least.

My goal is to bring this law of resonance to a very conscious level so that the events and people around you, while they may seem hopeless, are not. My suggestion is that the vibration of everything in your world can be raised up to meet you. Again, this doesn’t happen passively, but happens instead through deliberate, mindful optimism.

I am not at all suggesting that there won’t be moments where you need a little support in life, some fortification, and someone to build you up when you have challenges. And I am geared to be that for you. I’m relentless about enriching our lives through pure, unadulterated hope.

There are opportunities everywhere if you have the eyes to see them. Even problems we might come up against contain the seeds of their solutions. We all have seeds, many seeds, that we can nurture, bringing focus to what we want to draw to us.

My goal is to teach you to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
