My 3 Wishes For The World

My 3 Wishes For The World

If I could choose three wishes for the world it would be:

1. Love- Oh such a cliché, right? But LOVE is a powerful thing. I used to wonder why in a lot of fictional movies, why does love seem to “conquer” all? It sure doesn’t in real life…. WRONG! Love is the driving force behind life itself. I don’t wish for us to all have love because we are all already loved (I love you if no one does). I would wish for a greater awareness of it. Seek and ye shall FIND.

2. Proper & Broader Education-

I wish we would teach “useful” information in school.

OSHO asks in his book Creativity “What is your education? Have you ever looked into it? Have you ever pondered over it? It is simply training in memory. You don't become intelligent through it, you become more and more unintelligent. You become stupid. Each child enters the school very intelligent but it is very rare that a person comes out of university and is still intelligent -- it is very rare. The university almost always succeeds. 

Yes, you come with degrees but you have purchased those degrees at a great cost: you have lost your intelligence, you have lost your joy, and you have lost life -- because you have lost the functioning of the right-side hemisphere. And what have you learned? Information. Your mind is full of memory. You can repeat, you can reproduce -- that's what your examinations are. The person is thought to be very intelligent if he can vomit all that has been thrown into him. First he has to be forced to swallow, go on swallowing, and then in the examination papers, vomit. If you can vomit efficiently, you are intelligent. If you can vomit exactly that which has been given to you, you are intelligent. Now this is something to be understood: you can vomit the same thing only if you have not digested it, remember. If you have digested it you cannot vomit the same thing, something else may come. Blood may come but not the same “Vrindavan” bread. 

That will not come. It has disappeared. So you have to simply keep it down there in your stomach without digesting it. Then you are thought to be very, very intelligent. The most stupid are thought to be the most intelligent.”

Now you must understand he has a different definition of intelligence. I would suggest getting the book to learn more but at the end of the day my point is, how useful is the information you’ve taken from school? Has it TRULY helped you in the “REAL” world?

What if we were taught the power of our minds, individuality, integrity, and spirituality/energy?

The POWER of Our Minds- I still sit in AWE and dumb founded by what I’ve learned about the POWER of our minds! And yet we are not taught this is school. I can’t write enough on it so I won’t try. I will just quote Earl Nightingale, 

“We become what we think about.

It stands to reason that a person who is thinking about a concrete and worthwhile goal is going to reach it, because that’s what he’s thinking about. And we become what we think about.

Conversely, the man who has no goal, who doesn’t know where he is going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety, fear, and worry becomes what they think about. His life becomes one of frustration, fear, anxiety, and worry. And if he thinks about nothing, he becomes nothing.

Now how does it work? Why do we become what we think about?

Well, I’ll tell you how it works as far as we know. To do this, I want to talk about a situation that parallels the human mind. Suppose a farmer has some land and it’s good, fertile land. Now, the land gives the farmer a choice. He may plant in that land whatever he chooses. The land doesn’t care. It’s up to the farmer to make the decision. Remember, we’re comparing the human mind with the land because the mind, like the land, doesn’t care what you plant in it. It will return what you plant, but it doesn’t care what you plant. Now let’s say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand – one a seed of corn; the other is nightshade, a deadly poison. He digs two little holes in the earth and he plants both seeds; one corn, the other nightshade. He covers up the holes, waters, and takes care of the land.

What will happen? Invariably, the land will return what’s planted. As it’s written in the Bible, “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” Remember, the land doesn’t care. It will return poison in just as wonderful abundance as it will corn. So up come the two plants – one corn, one poison. The human mind is far more fertile, far more incredible and mysterious than the land but it works the same way. It doesn’t care what we plant – success or failure. A concrete, worthwhile goal or confusion, misunderstanding, fear, anxiety, and so on. But what we plant, it must return to us.

You see, the human mind is the last great-unexplored continent on earth. It contains riches beyond our wildest dreams. The mind will return anything we want to plant. So you may say, “If that is true, why don’t people use their minds more?”

Well, I think they’ve figured out an answer to that one too. Our mind comes as standard equipment at birth. It’s free and things that are given to us for nothing, we place little value on them. Things that we pay money for, we value.

The paradox is that exactly the reverse is true. Everything that’s really worthwhile in life came to us free: our minds, our souls, our bodies, our hopes, our dreams, our ambitions, our intelligence, our love of family and children and friends and country. All these priceless possessions are free.

But the things that cost us money are actually very cheap and can be replaced at any time. A good man can be completely wiped out and make another fortune. He can do that several times. Even if our home burns down, we can rebuild it. But the things we got for nothing, we can never replace."

Individually- Also In The Strangest Secret, Earl Nightingale quotes Rollo May, 

"The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice … it is conformity.” And there you have the reason for so many failures. Conformity — people acting like everyone else, without knowing why or where they are going.”

I believe we were born to be different. Its written in your DNA our fingerprints are unlike any other. Individuality is our birthright. So why are we so afraid to be different? Because it is safe to be with the majority! I bet that quote by OSHO shook you a bit. He was such a F*****G (lol) individual- controversial and spiritual… And yet most of lives mysteries were revealed to him. He explains it so adequately!  When has someone made an impact on life BEING like everyone else? While I love hearing “YOU were born to WIN” I don’t believe that as much as “You were BORN to BE different” shine your individuality it is truly what makes you special!

Integrity- Wow, such a great word not used often enough. Let’s me start with the definition:

-in·teg·ri·ty- adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.

-Integrity is a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes. In ethics, integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one's actions.

While the word is mostly used in business, I wish we would be taught to have that is all areas in life. Be it friendship, relationship-work, love and family as well as business. We fall prey when it is important to be a person of integrity, to have pride in our character - the ability to gain and keep trust is priceless.

Spirituality/energy- I can go on forever on this but most importantly we must be aware of the energy we carry. We must cleans our spirit to give off good energy. We communicate so many ways, be it our facial expressions or posture but we forget energy. I could walk away from a publicly respected person and think, “Something did not quiet sit right with me about that person” or I interact with someone arrogant and feel that there is more to this person than how he is coming off. I'm usually “right” after further examination or more interaction. I might add, to also increase our intuition/give off good energy, we must be aware of what we feed our mind, body and spirit. We can have clouded judgments if we discount our other sensory factors.

3. Last but not least- Wisdom! 

I could have used this last wish on WEALTH for ALL, ABUNDANCE and PROSPERTIY…but as we are evolving into our higher-selves eventually “wealth for all” will be the norm. The desire for it will leave and I would bet then everyone would want to be poor. LOL, some will get that. But WISDOM is more powerful than you can comprehend. It is the understanding that things are the way they are because they are supposed to be. It is the collective ARCHIVE of GREATER understanding filled with peace and God. If everything existed here and now- no time and such- what better to pull from the “future” – than WISDOM!  We reach to our elders to learn what they have learned to not make the same mistakes. But even now, RIGHT now, we are taught how to apply and learn from to progress to the next learning stage of life. Wisdom keeps you going forward as most will know if you don’t learn the lesson you will soon repeat it.

That I wish for you, for me, for us!

With Love,
