Assume complete Responsibility.

There is so much opposition in the world. It seems easier for one to stand against something than in favor of something else. We have become critics without a platform. We know what we oppose, but are not necessarily clear on what we want. 

It is time to assume complete responsibility. If we do indeed believe that our thoughts create (one surely would not argue that they result in words and actions), we need to be mindful of the results of our consciousness. Thoughts energize and reproduce in kind. If we are exerting all of our focus and energy on thoughts against something, we are simply empowering that which we claim to oppose. Anti-war demonstrations, for example, often result in war-like behavior. A Pro-peace rally may have a completely different feeling and result.

Effective change is solution oriented. Anyone can criticize, but it takes vision, responsibility and action to evolve, produce and transform. Do not become sedate in your passion. Be clear about what you want to create rather than focusing on what you wish to eliminate.

Success or sabotage? For what do you stand? For what are you willing to take responsibility?

Is this going to be an incredible day?  Are you willing to work to make it so?
