You can change the world

“I truly believe the intention of creating positive change is so important to the collective consciousness. When you have a group of people that have the intention and the capacity, talent, and intelligence to actualize those intentions, then you have something really powerful.”

  For the past 27 years I have attended the opening day of Jazz Fest in New Orleans. I’ve noticed one particularly amazing thing.  I have never witnessed an argument or disturbance. The collective energy of everyone is focused on soaking up the great music and enjoying the amazing food, and remarkably even sharing the unique offerings with strangers.
   
  Each of these things speaks powerfully of what’s happening in this great experience. When my friend and I leave our chairs and ice chests to go from one music tent to another everyone sitting around us assures us they will take care of “our spot” until we return.

 
 
The key thing for me is to bring that experience into my daily life. I realize I have to take precautions in all areas of my life because of the world we are currently living in. I also know that the same collective energy that is created at the Jazz Fest can be 
created in our home environment and then brought into everything we do and everyone we touch.
 
That is why I subscribe to multiple newsletters many with daily messages dispelling the focus on fear by offering positive possibilities. The following from Jennifer Hoffman’s newsletter has been modified to briefly give you her basic message. Jennifer is an international renowned intuitive, Energy Master and popular radio host whose broadcast reaches a global audience.

Here’s my paraphrase "The power of our shared intentions carries a lot of power so rather than allow the doom and gloom prophecies scare you (which is why I never make them) we can set a positive intention for us to see things as a blessing, not a curse, and whatever happens will be OK.."
 
I am not advocating taking foolish risks. I do however suggest that we need to be cautious of allowing our lives to be controlled by the fears and negative opinions of others. The key way I do this is to surround myself with people who are focused on positive possibilities and can see the potential for good in so many people and circumstances.
