Create a new world story

There's a lot happening in government and industry that can cause a lot of people with good hearts and common sense enough to know that there is a better way, to get angry and rail against everything that is wrong and unjust with the system.

An extreme example of this was seen when a furious software engineer launched a suicide attack against the Internal Revenue Service by crashing his plane into one of their buildings in Austin, TX.

If I'm somebody trying to exert more influence and control over the American people, you've just handed me the right to add a new line item to the PATRIOT Act on a silver platter and I'm gladly going to take that opportunity.

As the light continues to pour in and illuminate all that is corrupt, unjust, and not serving the best interest of the people, there will be millions of which who get angry, point the finger in blame, and violently react in an effort to dismantle the status quo.

This is precisely the pattern we are trying to break and precisely the pattern that has caused so much violence, pain, and suffering in the world.

The alternative? Create a new and inspiring world story.

Google has done this in the business world with game-changing results and provides a great illustration of the point.

Who isn't familiar with the complexities and sometimes inhumanity of the telecommunications industry? Think how much ink has been spilled and thought exhausted in criticism of it, without resulting change.

Then Google Voice came along telling a story that you can have a free local phone number, make calls for free, transcribed voicemails delivered to your email inbox, and the ability to filter your incoming calls like emails—not to mention manage all of this in your browser or phone (again, for free).

The telecommunications industry is afraid now and will have to change because the people are getting a whiff of an alternative that doesn't include them.

It's the difference between updating the old that doesn't want to be updated or creating something brand new.

We need to create brand new.

Now that technology has given the everyday man or woman the power to spread ideas in a way never before seen, the homework assignment for those interested in positive change consists of answering questions like this:

What new story are you going to tell about how life on this planet should be?

How are you going to tell that story?

How are you going to live that story?
