My Answer, After Much Consideration, is World Peace

Of course, we all want world peace, an end to hunger, and putting a stop to those people who club baby seals.  That is the perfect answer for the judges, to the question "How would you change the world?"  As always, to clarify, it's not a good or bad answer, just more general than what we need for the purpose of change.  Do you know what you really want, after you've been crowned?  An answer given on television for the world to see may or may not be the whole truth.  So if you have a chance to ponder your answer, it will become more personal and therefore more useful to you.

What if the secret to changing the world was changing ourselves?  We have a greater opportunity to change the world when we live our best, most productive lives.  This is supposed to be the good life, your good life.  Do you secretly yearn for a garden while living in a high-rise in the city?  Your yearnings are speaking to you, trying to light your pathway to peace and happiness.

I love the water, but I am landlocked in the midwest.  The people who have had similar yearnings understand that about me, but people who love the "mountains to the prairies" don't "get" me.  That's ok, I just need to "get" myself, because I adore those "oceans, white with foam".  (I. Berlin)

So I head to the water as often as possible and that is where I am at my best.  Are you finding time in your schedule to match your passions to your time?  If not, why not?

"Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me."  (Jill Jackson/Sy Miller)  Because a more peaceful "me" will make the world a better place and I will have more opportunities to help others when my ability to take care of myself remains a priority.

Have a great day!
