One Person Makes a Difference

by Liza Mattana|Published September 26, 2017

Right now as I watch the news or talk with neighbors and co-workers I see a lot of division in the world. This has led me to stop and ask myself two questions:

Am I contributing to this divisiveness with my own thoughts and actions?

What can I do to change my behavior in a positive way to change the world in a positive way?

 

In Unity we believe that thoughts are things that generate the reality of our world. I also personally believe that the things we speak into the world, give physical voice to, have even more impact than our thoughts.

 

I have set a personal goal to strive to eliminate thoughts and speech that add to divisiveness. For me this is not an easy task. I further have committed myself to bringing the attention of those around me think about what they can do individually and collectively to change the world in a positive way (hence this article). I know that many of you are involved in this already as members of the Transformation Transition Team. For the rest of us, I just ask you to stop and think, or meditate and pray on this. Then take action.

 

David Leinweber, President, Board of Trustees
