We go through life spending our time identifying with others or comparing ourselves to others. If we compare ourselves with others we look at how we are different, better than worse than which divides us. If we identify with each other we look at how we're the same, equal with one another which unities us. We are all equal and we want the same thing, a better world! Let's do it!

THE VISION

UNITING MANKIND FOR ONE PURPOSE . . .

“TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE”


What is THE VISION?

The purpose of “THE VISION” is to define what will make our world a better place and,in keeping with that notion, what will
make you and your family happier, more complete human beings. As you will discover, they are..... one in the same.
Through my frequent interactions with people, I hear repeatedly that our world is getting worse. Many are asking ,“What can
I can do?” The reality is that you are only one person, and one person can’t do everything; however, you can do something.
And by doing something, it will mean everything. “YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD”.

CHANGING THE WORLD BEGINS WITH YOU !

THE VISION is a guideline for all people to “COME TOGETHER AS ONE” in order to make the world a better, more peaceful
place. Former FBI agent Cleon Skousen wrote in the book ,“The Naked Capitalist”, published in 1970, “Surely our children,
who will inherit a terrible whirlwind from all of this, will wonder why the adults of their generation could not see what was
happening”. We MUST take action NOW ! We CANNOT leave the children the world in its present condition! Children are
NOT SAFE, and there future is uncertain. How can we change course?


To begin with,we must RESPECT each other as human beings. Violence as a means of conflict resolution will never gain
the mutual trust and understanding that is essential for building long lasting, meaningful relationships between individuals,
cultures and societies. The late 60’s and early 70’s brought about some measure of social progress in America. There
was a beautiful song that said “Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody come together, try to love one
another right NOW ". We came together and changed our world. We embraced a plan of spreading peace and love
worldwide.The Beatles song, “ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE”, was one of the many anthems. What happened to us? We forgot
about changing the world, helping people, and began to focus on selfishness over the more noble cause. The good news is
that with 21st century technology (the internet) we can come together, change directions and leave a legacy that both you
and your children can be proud of. Let us not allow ourselves to miss this golden opportunity!!!

THE QUESTION IS.... WHAT WILL TURN OUR WORLD AROUND ?

We must learn to LOVE, CARE, and GIVE unselfishly to others each and every day !!

People often say, “If I don’t take care of myself nobody else will.” Even though this sounds
justifiably right, and even true on some level, it is also the reason our world is getting worse.
Wouldn’t it be great to live in a world where we all cared and took care of each other? There will
always be more of us who are mentally and physically able to help than those that are in need.
There could come a time in your life when you will need help. Under this principle, there will be
plenty of people around to help you as you have helped others.

As children. most of us start out loving, caring, forgiving and loving life. It doesn’t matter how
much money our parents have, how nice our car is or how big the house we live in is. What matters to us is spending
time with our loving parents, our parents loving us and spending time playing with friends. Love is not about money or
materialistic things. Even though we give our children money or things out of love, it is not love to them. They may
appreciate the gifts, but love to a child is quality time with the people they love.

For example, do you remember your birthday or Christmas gifts as a child? Probably not. What about your vacations
or time spent with your parents or grand parents, aunts, uncles and cousins? For those of you who were fortunate
enough to have these experiences, this is where you harbor your fondest memories. If you want to find out who you really
are, go back and look at who you were as a young child; that is the real you. We all start off as BEAUTIFUL, loving, caring,
giving and forgiving people. Unfortuneately... as we grow older, we become jaded.

It is important to understand that materialism brings pleasure not happiness.One's possessions must be shared with the
less fortunate. I have never met a selfish person who is truly happy and content. The fact is......the more you give to others,
the happier and more at peace you will become. This mantra will spread to all people you come in contact with. It's time
to be HONEST. When we hear someone say, “He or she is such a great person”… we are referring to someone who is very
giving of themselves and cares for the people they come in contact with. So if making money is your primary pursuit , do
it for the right reasons and help the less fortunate.

The pursuit of money for materialism seems to be a never ending path toward becoming more selfish. It never seems to
satisfy the heart. If you pursue money strictly for your selfish desires, you are missing the true meaning of life. So many
are obsessed with having what they want instead of wanting what they have. Many times,we don’t need what we think we
have to have.

Fear is not the solution. Often times, society has adopted a policy of fear tactics in order to initiate movements.
Instead of unity and love, we hear messages of fear and division. There is no fear in love. We are more alike than we are
different, and we should question any group or individual who uses elements of fear or scarcity to prove a point or cause a
movement. People and societies are not transformed through fear, war and hostility. They are transformed through love,
acceptance and decency. When you operate out of fear, you attract loss and tragedy. The next time you make a choice
or take action out of fear, analyze your actions and your intentions..... evaluate the results of acting out of fear. Have you
ever accomplished anything with this method or do you simply drive a bigger wedge between you and your ultimate goal?

Remember, ALL the great spiritual leaders of the past taught that true happiness arises when one gets out of one’s self.
Don’t ruin your life over an obsession with material things. Greed destroys societies and could quite possibly destroy
our world. What a person does with their money determines who they are. The greatest people were known for how much
they gave of themselves. It's not how much you give; it's how much you give of yourself that matters. The best thing we
can ever hear from someone is, “Thank you for helping me". The best thing you can do is save someone’s life, which
sometimes is simply giving them a reason to live, or showing someone that you really do care. Be a part of the first
generation to actually make this world a better place to live. With today’s available technology, our world should be
getting better..... not worse.

Be a part of the SOLUTION. Our forefathers had it right. Create a government that’s of the people, by the people and
for the people. They left out one thing however; that “CARES” about the people. We need to care about our government,
and it needs to care about us. The best government in the world would be a government of humanitarians. The same also
applies to corporations. As long as they make an ethical profit , the rest should be directed at improving the lives of their
employees and the world. As the band Rush said in the 70’s “The men who hold high places must be the one’s to start
to mold a new reality closer to the heart”.

JESUS CHRIST once said when asked what is the MOST IMPORTANT thing we must do as people he replied, “LOVE
GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH
AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. THERE IS NOTHING GREATER THAN THESE TWO THINGS”.

The vast majority of people long for peace. It is time for those who CARE to be the LOUDEST VOICE. We are all a work in progress so let's spend our time and energy becoming better people, for our children, for ourselves, for the world, for our GOD. In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, “I HAVE A DREAM” that the world can become a loving, caring, peaceful place for us all to live. We must open our eyes. If you see “THE VISION” live it. Only you can save our world.

Without you there is no Vision.

WHAT CAN I DO?

Everyday we cross paths with someone in need. Their needs may be somthing as simple as someone to encourage, listen and care about their struggles. Or perhaps, as great as not having enough food to feed their children.

Try to empathize with what others are going through. Stop and think, is there anything I can do to help. REACH OUT. Get the message out any way possible. Use FaceBook, Twitter, and MySpace.

Email it to your friends, use your social networks. Pass this around your office or any
other way you can think of to spread this message. If you are a poet, write a poem. If you are a
song writer, write a song. To the young people, question the direction the world is going. If you
are a celebrity, use your influence. If you have been blessed with money, use it to help others. If
you are corporations, use your money for the good of your employees. Treat your employees fairly with dignity and respect. If you are an employer, it’s your world too. Help make it better. If you are governmental officials, adopt policies that care for the people. It is All of our
responsibility, to grow and become better people! Yesterday is gone. It’s not too late.

IT’S WHERE WE GO FROM HERE THAT WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.

We are one race; THE HUMAN RACE!!!

In conclusion, I ask everyone to be completely honest with yourself. Search deep within your heart, do you think we can turn this world around? Do you honestly believe we can make this world a better place to live? If what we’ve said here makes any sense at all, JOIN US!!!

WE MUST ORGANIZE AN EFFORT FOR THIS COMMON GOAL, GREATER THAN THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN!!

All you must do is TWO THINGS:

1. ADOPT THESE PRINCIPLES IN YOUR LIFE

2. PASS THIS ON TO OTHERS

If you do THESE TWO THINGS, YOU WILL HAVE MADE THIS WORLD BETTER!! YOU WILL HAVE CHANGED THE WORLD!

Remember, you ARE one person, and you CAN do something and it will mean EVERYTHING!!

“BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD”

-Mahatma Gandhi

This is only an outline of how we must approach and deal with these delicate issues. As we said in the beginning THE VISION’S only purpose is to bring the people of the world together to clearly identify and solve the problems we are all facing. It is going to take each and every one of us. It will take a great effort on all our part. Believing in something and not acting on it is the same as not believing at all.

YOU MUST TAKE ACTION!!!

The world is not going to you change why you sit on the sidelines.

GET INVOLVED!!!

DO NOT FAIL YOUR CHILDREN!!

DO NOT FAIL EACH OTHER!!!

DO NOT FAIL YOURSELF!!!

THIS IS BY FAR THE GREATEST CHALLENGE THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN!!

THIS WILL NOT BE EASY!!!!!

CAN WE DO IT?

WE ARE GOD’S GREATEST CREATION, “THE HUMAN RACE”, OF COURSE WE CAN!!!

We want to help! “THE VISION” is yours. You wrote it. It belongs to you!!! You will decide what’s next and where we go from here..........To be continued.
