Prosperity and Our Daydreams

Zhuhai, Guangdong,China 

Prosperity, what a golden future to seek? The dreams of the present could become a reality, yet how do we achieve that moment of excellence if all we do is live in our constant reveries and not in the physical world? Has anyone ever told you that you are here on Earth, but your mind is somewhere else? The famous humanitarian, Millard Fuller, stated with passion that "faith without works is as dead as a door nail."

This tells that those who only sit there contemplating and preparing for the future of gold will be left with nothing but the ribbon and no medallion. Where is the future of prosperity if the action does not start today? Try paying your rent in daydreams and see what the landlord will say. Try taking care of a family with only expectation.

We live in the world where ideas are valuable, and the power of the mind has no material limit, yet we also live in a time where the need for acting on our constructive ideas is of the greatest importance.

What can you do to help your fellow man? If the answer does not come to you immediately, consult the words of your elders....consult the ways of Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Gottfried Leibniz, Plato, and the plans of many other humanitarians such as Millard Fuller.

Leibniz teaches us that if a problem exists, the solution must exist as well. The answer to solve any problem must first begin with an idea, whether it is showing kindness to another human being or eliminating poverty for the entire world. The idea is the starting point.

Let us not only use our ideas to pass the time and drift off into oblivion. Let us use our ideas to bring about change into the world that our ancestors never had. Lead humanity to peace and prosperity and honor the Earth in the process. From the base of the mountains to the grains of sand in the desert, the Earth has many marvelous wonders and many ways to provide for humanity.

If there is poverty in the world ,there is a way for humanity to cure the ailment. Use your ideas and as the years go by let them turn into wisdom. Share each idea as if it were a gift, a trinket, a treasure, and the message of a sage.

If Bruce Lee can tell us "Be Like Water," and Captain America can say "Stand Like a Tree Next to the River of Truth, and say No, You Move," then, we can learn from both. Do no harm, but do not let anyone commit injustice to you, to your loved ones, to innocent animals, to the potential for life, and to the mighty and beautiful Earth itself.

In fact, you are mightier than water. The idea that you just composed while reading this is mightier than the river or the tree trunk. The idea you just composed is our next step to prosperity.
