Doing Great Things … (08/20/13)
Not only do you not need permission to manifest Great Things, you don’t even need to do anything “big” or “amazing” to do so …
*Refusing to watch television — and going outside to revel in Nature instead — is a Great Thing.
*Refusing to buy GMO-laced foods — and growing your own fruits & vegetables (or buying them local & organic) & sharing them with your neighbors instead — is a Great Thing.
*Refusing to get involved in the sham of politics — and investing your energy in beautifying & stregthening your Community instead — is a Great Thing.
*Refusing to accept religious dogma that condemns the beliefs of others — and openly Caring for those of faiths different from your own — is a Great Thing.
*Refusing to put animal cruelty on your plate — and going vegan instead — is a Great Thing.
We have not been put here to use up our planet’s resources, dominate & exploit our planet’s fellow inhabitants, or fight amongst ourselves for control of our planet.
We have — each & every one of us — instead been given the most brilliant of gifts; the chance to transcend our innate primitive selfishness … and choose LOVE:
*to choose to Love Nature (Go outside!),
*to choose to Love our bodies (Eat sustainably!),
*to choose to Love our communities (Work together!),
*to choose to Love our neighbors (Be Kind to the different!), &
*to choose to Love ALL our sentient cousins (Go vegan!).
While we all do indeed carry a large cache of excuses that conveniently justify our being “normal” or “only human”, we can ALL also choose to live a life of Meaning & Power instead …
We can choose to live for others, as opposed to living for ourselves. We can choose to be stewards & caretakers of all things living, as opposed to being accomplices to destruction & death.
In essence, instead of being merely “good enough”,
… we can ALL choose to be truly Great.
Let it be so … and let it be so today.
