One person can make a difference...

Sometimes people will ask: “Can one person make a difference?”  “Is it really possible?”  Then they will share: “If not, why bother?!”

My answer is emphatically: “Yes”.  It always starts with one person who has courage and who demonstrates with their life lived what change looks like. These people give courage to others.  Mahatma Gandhi was such a person.  Martin Luther King Jr. was such a person.  Jesus of Nazareth was such a person.  Albert Einstein was such a person.  The list is too long to publish so I’ll stop here except to say that I believe you may be such a person also. 

Why do I share that you may be such a person?  I share this because Humanity’s Team is about standing up for what we believe in and announcing it for all to hear not as a proselytizing statement but as a truth we hold, that: “We are all One”.  It is not about sitting down.  It is about standing up.  This requires conviction based on deep thought.  It requires unswerving commitment.  Most people I meet in Humanity’s Team fit this description.  They believe now is the time to act and we must not wait for others, we must step forward and be the change we wish to see in the world.  Of course, we all authentically express in our own way. We each stand in our own truth.

I’d like to invite you to step further into your own truth now.  We’ve just created a new “Spiritual Activism Initiative” page on our web site so everyone, anywhere in the world, can be a spiritual activist any time of day, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.  All that is needed is access to a computer connected to internet.  With computer access, one person can have an enormous impact. If you have a moment, you might take a look now: http://humanitysteam.org/spiritual-activism and you will see what I mean.

In about 15 minutes, one person can touch people all over the world in a profound way, sign a petition that declares a new world based on Oneness, and join a virtual community linking spiritual activists from around the world.  Here are some of the things you can do:

• Sign a petition asking the United Nations to declare a “Oneness Day"

• Send a blessing eCard to a friend or family member that is incredibly uplifting

• Join our Global Village of Oneness

• Send a blessing Email to the Dalai Lama, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the United Nations Spiritual Caucus

• Send a blessing email to the European Union and the UN Commission on Human Rights

• Send a blessing email to the World Congress of Faiths

• Volunteer and share your Wealth, Wisdom or Work

If you don’t have the time now, you might save this email or place a “bookmark” on your calendar to become involved with these spiritual activism tools.

When we embrace who we really are and stand up strongly for what we believe in, it is tremendously empowering.  We give energy to all we come in contact with.  When we do this together and in unison, we become a powerful movement that truly moves the whole world. 

One person can make all the difference and when we each take personal responsibility for being the one person in our community who steps up and steps out, watch out!  The world will soon know “We are all One” and the day of just dreaming about a New Earth that our children shall inherit will come to an end.  We will move from dreaming to creating and a New Earth will be born.  That day is coming!  This is what Humanity’s Team is about!

Thank you to each of you for all the ways you contribute and bring leadership to your community, country and world at large.

With all of my love & appreciation for you and your spiritual activism,
Steve
