A note to ALL DO-GOODERS and people who want to change the world by Michael Harris, PhD

Greetings fellow wizards,

Anyone who knows me or reads my stuff on the web, pretty much knows that I am incurable "do-gooder" and positive expectation freak. I'm only interested in making this planet a better place to live in and work tirelessly to that end.

This morning while I was opening my mail I came across a strange letter. This letter was from Mumbai, India so I knew it couldn't be from a client or ex-girlfriend.. I looked at it for a couple of minutes with a great deal of curiosity. The letter was from someone I friended on LinkedIn and the sent me a "thank you" letter, thanking me for "friending" them.

They went on to tell me that they had gone to my website, listened to my recordings, read my articles (on this blog), watched my youtube videos and pretty much "gushed" appreciation for all things that I do, which seemed kind of strange because this is what I do, daily.

It took a couple of minutes to realize that this is exactly what impact that I'm trying to make on this world we live in. All you have to do is watch the news for a couple of seconds to notice that we have problems out there. But we also have beautiful people doing wonderful things everyday; it's that, that type of information doesn't sell newspapers so it isn't reported.

I thought I'd jot down a couple of lines today to remind you that this a wonderful place to live and you need to LIVE YOUR DREAMS. It's obvious that people are out there searching for answers so if you're in the business of making dreams come true, making people laugh and forget about their troubles... KEEP DOING THAT... you never know who you will impact in what corner of the world. My faith in the dream has been revitalized and the person who sent the letter, (you know who you are)THANK YOU!

Sometimes it's a nice thing to know that you're having an impact. I'm reminded of Nelson Mandela, the Nobel Prize Winning Leader, who spend 27 years in house arrest, and ended Apartheid. This is paraphrased..."It isn't that we live too big, it's that we live too small".

Make this day the day you recommit to your dreams

talk soon
M
