I spent a good portion of my afternoon yesterday going to see a movie that is going to be one of the summer blockbusters.  At the conclusion of the film, I was captivated by the simple premise that someone had more faith in others, than they did in themselves.  As I drove around afterwards and ran some necessary errands, I kept coming back to that point of the film. I believe that most of us got some type of break in life because at some point or another, there was an individual who had this type of confidence in us.  Parents usually have this type of resounding belief that their children will grow up to live up to or  exceed what was expected of them.  When I think back in history and the founding fathers of our great country, the same could be said for the truths that they wrote about in our constitution and how they saw what the future of our nation could be.  The people that left Europe to come to America and establish their new lives here, also had incredible faith that things would work out for their benefit in the end.  If we were to exercise this philosophy with the people around us either at work, home or just within our community, I feel that we could transform what exists in our world today.  The cynicism of others who feel negatively about what is going on around them or on another continent could be combated with better and stronger feelings of a positive nature.  We all want the things around us to change for the better, however, we must all do our part in ensuring that this momentum begins somewhere.  Simply stated, any type of change similar to the journey of a lifetime, begins with one first step.  For us to be able to create an existence that lives in harmony with others, nature and this universe that we happen to be in, we need to put that positive energy forward beginning with ourselves.  By expecting better things of all of us and others around too, we can begin to make those adjustments that are needed to manifest a more positive world.  Never forget that having faith in others as well as ourselves, are the founding steps that can create and attract more of what we want around us.
