Homework for The Children: Create A Juicier World Story

There's a lot happening now in America that can cause a lot of people with good hearts and common sense enough to know that there is a better way, to get seriously angry and rail against everything that is 'wrong' and 'unjust.' While the feeling is certainly justified, it leads to self-defeating actions that go to serve the agenda of the other side.

The most obvious and extreme example of this was seen just recently with a furious software engineer launching 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 ("security"), you've just handed me the right to add a new line item to the PATRIOT Act on a silver platter and I'm going take that opportunity with a smile on my face and drink in my hand.

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 thousands and thousands of which who get angry, point the finger in blame, and violently react in an effort to dismantle the status quo.

I urge you not to be one of those amateurs because history should have taught us by now that, "The iron hand crush'd the Tyrant's head And became a Tyrant in his stead."

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. It's time to put it to bed and say goodnight.

The alternative? It's easy to understand but very hard to implement: Create A Juicier World Story. I struggle with it myself.

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

Who doesn't hate the tyranny 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 (or my favorite, report a caller as SPAM)—not to mention manage all of this beauty in your browser or smartphone.

The profit gouging telecommunications industry is very afraid now and will have to change because the people are getting a whiff of a much healthier alternative ... and Google Voice has still yet to be formally launched.

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 the following questions:

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

How are you living that story?

Are you even living that story?

How are you going to tell that story?

Are you even going to tell it?
