I received a link to this video on youtube this morning from a friend. It reminded me how much power we have to create our world the way we want it through simply making choices about the story we choose to tell ourselves and others. Creating a kyosei world where people are thriving on living and working together for the common good depends on more people choosing inspiration vs. cynicism. As you watch the video, pay attention to how you feel listening to each version of the “poem”. I hope this link inspires you to rescript the stories you are telling yourself and others in your life and work. One day post-inauguration of Obama, this video is a powerful reminder of our capacity to be part of leaving the doom and gloom of the past and creating a vibrant future for us all.
