How Full Is Your Glass?

On January 1st, instead of listing his resolutions, my friend Gregorio, made a request of his blog readers and essentially the world. He doesn't want much from us and it will only take a few moments of your time.

He asks that we take a moment and visualize one positive thought and project it out into the world. Think of something wonderful that you'd like to see happen for the betterment of everyone and concentrate on it, just for a little while. Thoughts have power and energy. You're helping to heal the world if you participate.

Gregorio has one more challenge. Each day, take a few moments to picture the world as a glass of dirty water. That's not too hard considering all the problems we face. Then put a drop of clean water into the glass. It will appear clearer than before. The next day add another drop and concentrate on that and the way the dirt is settling at the bottom and how you can almost see through the water now. Before long the glass (our world) in your mind will be a clean, clear, refreshing drink of water.

Visualization and sending out positive thoughts are so important and when coupled with action spurred by your renewed optimism...the world will heal, problems will be solved, people will be fed and so on until our world is truly like the glass of water in your mind.

All of this may sound silly, but my youngest son is a living testimony to this process. Call it prayer, call it whatever you wish...he is here because of it. Several years ago, I was sick and facing a hysterectomy. I was in a new relationship with a man I loved very much and wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I didn't want to give up the gift of having a child together. So we put off the surgery and sought alternative treatments.

Together we visualized my body healing. I saw our baby and played with him in my mind. I asked God to grant us this child. Our son is three years old. My fibroid tumors disappeared without surgery. I just had an ultrasound and they no longer exist.

Ask yourself, if I can do this is my life, collectively what can we do for the good of everyone? What can it hurt? Even if you don't think it will work, you gain a few minutes to rest and time to focus on the blessings you've been given. That alone is worth your time.

Let me know if you try it and what you think about The Law Of Attraction and Positive Visualization. Also leave some love at Gregorio's blog for proposing this awesome challenge to us all.
