String together Unity

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Unity GlobeI believe that not only the United States, but the world is in a better place now. The Election of Barack Obama to the US Presidency is a game changer. Without trying to sound like a political pundit; I am Happy.

Unity

This Election to me was more about unity than anything else. I am thrilled that Obama is bringing change to the White House, but I am more excited about him bringing an attitude of unity and a sense of oneness. It is the belief that we as humans, as plants and animals are anything but ONE. The fact that Obama seems to look at life as one of united to everything living around him makes me feel that the decisions he makes will be nothing but good.

Partners

Tonight I spent time in the Live Blogging Room at YES but NO but Yes with a great bunch of friends and fellow Obama supporters. At one point a friend in the chat said that he was happy that we had a President that we could finally “Follow”. My response to him was, “I don’t think Obama is looking for followers, he is looking for partners” It is in this small distinction that real change is made.

Doubt

‘Doubt’ is the thorn in the side of positive forward movement. When we doubt ourselves, when we doubt our decisions we put ourselves in a path to fail. When we combine the Unity, the Partnership, and the strength of powerful honest decision making doubt will be squelched.

Lets Unite

Do you believe in the power of Unity? Do you believe in the Power of a strong unified people? Do you believe that every living thing on this planet and beyond share the same invisible energy that has the power to create for good? Do you believe that the oneness of peace is better than the separateness of war?

I am going to tag some of my friends and colleagues that I know have a big heart along with good intentions. What I ask of you is simple! Give me one paragraph on why we should look at life as one, rather than life as fragments scattered across the universe.

Lets begin a meme of Unity! I will tag lots of my friends, please tag five of your friends and lets spread the message of ‘WE’ rather than the message of ‘ME’

Your it!
