We are all connected. Joined together by an invisible thread, infinite in its potential and fragile in its design. Yet while connected, we are also merely individuals. Empty vessels to be filled with infinite possibilities. An assortment of thoughts, beliefs. A collection of disjointed memories and experiences. Can I be me without this? Can you be you? And if this invisible thread that holds us together were to sever, to cease, what then? What would become of billions of lone, disconnected souls? Therein lies the great quest of our lives. To find. To connect. To hold on. For when our hearts are pure, and our thoughts in line, we are all truly one. Capable of repairing our fragile world, and creating a universe of infinite possibilities. ~Mohinder Suresh, “Heroes”
Calling All Heroes:
Much of the World is broken. Many of us – who represent several generations – broke it. Don’t get me wrong: no one generation is completely responsible. Each generation that’s come before has advanced the World, has changed “the game”: A tweak here, a tweak there. Real progress and shifts in one hand, bandages in another, our world is the grand quilt of human experiences, etched in time.
But the quilt has ripped at the seams, and the tapestry that generations have built is crumbling. Vows broken, our ways of being, of living dismantled crudely. Regardless of the how, the why, the who, all of us now living -and “awake” have a ton of work ahead of us. And the work?
To save the planet by saving the Human Race.
There’s a lot to do – many before me (and many after) have and are spelling it out. And through the MeYouSocial community, it’s our intention to bring forward the best ideas, the best individuals with these ideas – all to inspire, be inspired and Act on that inspiration.
But we cannot do this without you. There is no MeYouSocial without you. If you stand on the sidelines, we won’t make it and it will all be for nothing.
I’m getting a lot of push back from the internal core team here: “We need members first, before we can gain the interest – and involvement – of these leaders and super achievers, blah blah blah…” And as tired and frustrated as I grow hearing this, I fear they are right, and the dilemma is two-fold. You see, to gain and attract epic community members like you, the community needs to have great content, epic individuals delivering their important messages, thoughts, products, services, strategies – the arsenal fit for heroes – for potential members to go: “Yes! sign me up. I’m in.”
And we’re doing our part, creating as much great content as we can digging through decades and 100’s of hours of experienced-based learning to pour into the blogs. We’ll continue to do so, continue to pour our heart and soul into this grand village that would have you as a resident, and I need to ask a favor of you. It’s simply this: Have faith in what is unfolding, and what’s to come and join with us now. Raise your hand and answer “Here” when we do our roll call. There is no community without you – it doesn’t become real until you join.
We’re all standing in a cave together in the dark; each of us holding a candle and match waiting for another to light theirs first. Light your candle. Sign-up, comment on the blogs, send us emails with your thoughts, be generous and tell others. Roll up your sleeves and pitch in to help make this a real community. We don’t need your money or casual interest. We don’t need you – we want you. We want your ideas, we want your courage, your voice. We seek those of you with important, valuable, powerful and profound ideas and gifts: your words, your poetry, your songs, your videos, your art, your hopes and dreams expressed, shared. We seek to benefit from your generosity of spirit and courage of heart, share with everyone here, today, now.
I ask you to have faith. Faith with the knowing that as the weeks and months unfold, what you’ll find, what you’ll give and be given from and to your heart, from love will connect with you, with others. Connect and create meaningful value, value worthy of everyone here in the community. I know I’m asking for a lot; for the impossible (for some) the unimaginable (for others still), and I ask because I believe. I believe in you. I believe we’re meant to do, be and have greatness in our lives. I believe we’re all living miracles and that we are meant to experience the wonders of the World; to feel deeply, to love and be loved, to cherish and embrace this world deeply and to share the wisdom that resides in all of us gleaned from travelling this life.
“There is good and there is evil. Right and wrong. Heroes and villains. And if we’re blessed with wisdom, then there are glimpses between the cracks of each where light streams through. We wait in silence for these times when sense can be made, when meaningless existence comes into focus, and our purpose presents itself. And if we have the strength to be honest, then what we find there, staring back at us, is our own reflection, bearing witness to the duality of life. And each one of us is capable of both the dark and the light, of good and evil, of either, of all. And destiny, while marching ever in our direction, can be rerouted by the choices we make. By the love we hold onto, and the promises we keep.~Mohinder Suresh
We are all heroes. We are, each and every one of us, enlightened and evolved souls carrying the collective experiences of our predecessors from a Millennia ago.
In this very minute, our existence, be it a small ripple or a grand wave we are changing the world. We are fearless in our love for ourselves, our loved ones and our fellow. We embrace change, surfing the waves of fear, uncertainty, doubt and disbelief with grace and dignity.
We are kind, bold, generous, fierce and powerful beyond reason. Guided by our faith, powered by our beliefs and fueled by love, we shape and create a better world. A world created first by what’s imagined, then what is brought to being, through our thoughts, our words, our actions and our deeds. We are the best of all that has come before, because we are the embodiment of every living soul that has come before.
Join us, won’t you? Let’s rise to the challenge together. Let’s defy the odds, break the rules and change the game. Let’s create a new game with new rules. Let’s create a new world. A world not defined by race, by privilege, by geography and chance, but a world brought about by all of us joined together from one unifying belief:
In the many, we are in truth:
One. One life, one source, one race: the human race. One…
I’m honored to stand with you brother, with you sister…
From my very soul to yours, I love you,
Chris
