THE ULTIMATE DREAM
What follows is a story that represents the hopes and desires that the youth of today have for their future:
THE LAST CENTURY FOR MOST OF HUMANITY’S PROBLEMS.
A DREAM WITHOUT ACTION REMAINS JUST A DREAM
A DREAM WITH ACTION MAKES ANYTHING POSSIBLE
HUMANITY’S EVOLUTION
What follows is a story from the standpoint of a person born in the latter part of the twenty-first century that looks back at how humanity created a better world for all of us to live in.
It is nearing midnight on December 31, 2099 and I, an eighteen year old girl, am with my parents at my great grandparents home celebrating the end of one century and the beginning of a new one. Since I was a little girl, my great grandparents have been telling me how their generation changed the course of human history. They have been giving me insights into what they had to learn and understand and what actions their generation undertook so that the world of today has so many fewer problems than a century ago. Everyone alive today are the beneficiaries of what my great grandparents generation set out to accomplish and thankfully they succeeded.
JOURNEY INTO A BETTER FUTURE
JOURNEY INTO A BETTER FUTURE is a look at life with the intention of getting us to a point where each individual human being and all of us collectively as an entire species have fewer personal and societal difficulties. It is broken down into six parts – HARMONY, BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR A BETTER LIFE AND BETTER WORLD, KEY ASPECTS OF BEING HUMAN, PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, ONE COMMON PURPOSE AND THE FUTURE.
Within each part there are individual concepts that are discussed. A person is describing something that is happening and from that situation other ideas develop that eventually leads to a realization about an aspect of life. Each concept is categorized as a DAY (DAY 1, DAY 2, etc). The reason for this is that to comprehend anything in greater detail requires thinking about it instead of just reading it and moving on. Even when something seems self-evident it is better to analyze it and discuss it with family and friends so a new appreciation about that area of life can become part of a person’s overall consciousness.
DAY 94, REACHING THE MOUNTAINTOP: A HOLISTIC HARMONY BY THE YEAR 2100 (THE TOMORROW’S WILL NOT BE LIKE THE YESTERDAYS) is the last of the concepts in JOURNEY INTO A BETTER FUTURE. While DAY 94 was intended to be the last DAY and has been put at the end of this extensive look at human life, it also became evident that there would be a benefit for the reader to also put DAY 94 at the very beginning in part 1 before DAY 1. The reason for this is that by initially getting a sense of what each of us an individual and all of us a collective humanity is trying to achieve along with what it would entail, the reader can gage everything in JOURNEY INTO A BETTER FUTURE, everything else on this website and everything on our youtube channel (WE WILL CREATE IT ®) from this perspective.
Most of the DAYS are about one to three pages of reading if it were in book form. At the end of each DAY there is a concluding paragraph that has a sentence with the words “I now realize” that is a realization that develops because of looking deeper into that area of life.
While it is recommended to read about each concept in its entirety to get a greater appreciation of what is presented, there is a compilation of each of the “I now realize” sentences in part seven. This is the short version summation of what is presented in each of the DAYS. With many people not liking to read or cannot find about ten minutes to read each of the specific days, this is a way to get a sense of the various concepts of this journey into a better future.
There are no shortcuts that will get a person to have a better life. There are no shortcuts that will get humanity to be living in a better world. Whether you find it here or somewhere else, reading about life helps to raise awareness. With more awareness comes a future with fewer problems.
PEOPLE, IDEAS & INNOVATION
We have to be thankful for the people who have contributed to making the world a better place. They have not only given us profound thoughts that inspire us to greater heights but there are countless people who form organizations and volunteer their time to come to the aid of their fellow community members when they are faced with their most difficult moments. Our world has also become a better place because of those who give us insightful ideas that solve the most perplexing of problems, whether they are personal to one’s own life, on a local level or are societal in scope. In addition, because of the people who do research that gives us a more in-depth understanding about specific areas in life and new technological innovations that solve many of our everyday problems we are better able to move forward in a more effective manner.
As individuals, to accomplish more we need to know more about what is being done that changes our world for the better. Too often we never hear about people and organizations in communities around the planet that unites people for their mutual benefit and alters the course for its citizenry. Too often we do not know about breakthrough research and technological innovations concerning human health, the environment along with so many other areas in life. Insightful knowledge into what works and is a better way forward is a necessary ingredient if we are to fix what sometimes seems unfixable.
PEOPLE, IDEAS AND INNOVATIONS will bring you articles that will inform the reader about the people who are making life altering contributions to the communities in which they are part of along with profound ideas and creative innovations that has a transformative affect upon the world that we live in. With this knowledge each of us can become more effective in getting us to where we want to go, a world where humanity does not have to constantly contend with the same types of problems over and over again.
ONE COMMON PURPOSE: WORKING TOGETHER FOR A BETTER FUTURE
INTRODUCTION
When you look at the front page of the newspaper, watch the evening news on television or listen to the latest report on the radio what do you get? Most of the key stories are about a problem that some individual has or a community wide dilemma. Yet with all of this real life negativity, the majority of human beings live their lives believing that tomorrow will be better than today.
Hope and optimism are the cornerstones to being human. Our collective spirit manifests itself into new opportunities and possibilities on a regular basis. Just as important to the human condition comes the unique choice we have of the way in which we perceive the future. While our minds can take us in any direction, we collectively strive for something better than only focusing upon doom and gloom. When something is amiss, we set our sights onto fixing the problem instead of burying our heads into the sand. We relish in the possibility of a future filled with success rather than one of continual despair.
For hope and optimism to eventually lead to a successful outcome we need to believe in ourselves and in our abilities. One of our strengths is the capacity to persevere through the most troubling of circumstances. We march forward not exactly knowing what the outcome will look like, but believing in a world full of possibility. This is a message you may have heard throughout your life, however take a moment and let the words really sink in. If you do, you will not only be open to the idea that anything can be achieved but also closer to that reality.
Look around and you will see things that you take for granted that at one time did not exist. Televisions, refrigerators, computers, and automobiles all spawned out of the notions described above. From heating systems and indoor plumbing to skyscrapers and multi-tiered stadiums, this vision for a brighter tomorrow may link most of what we see and use today. Thousands of items represent what is possible when human desire for something better gets combined with optimism and a determination to persevere.
A world of possibility does not limit itself solely to things. It reveals its hand in profound thought as well. Like a set of values that touch our soul or enduring virtues that reach our heart, possibility gives us inspiration to carry on. Whether it comes from a great idea or a timeless notion, the possibility for a better tomorrow transforms us by helping to forge stronger relationships and an enhanced way of life.
One Common Purpose: Working Together For A Better Future helps to lay a foundation to build strong communities woven together by our one commonality, a desire for a better future. Throughout the book one can explore the numerous issues we face, the importance of our fellow man, and the role we all can play in creating progress. As you read, carry with you the hope and optimism that opens new doors in life and you may find that our one common purpose of working together for a better future can reap great rewards.
