Courage To Be Someone New
I know that we can accomplish little
when we’re afraid — and almost nothing if we let fear of what might happen seize us. Fear freezes the mind, erases possibilities and clouds opportunities;
and it makes most matters we’re fearful about seem disproportionately greater
than our ability to deal with them.
However, I’ve learned that you and I have the ability to put fear in its
rightful place — a place where we don’t have to stay.
The Butterfly Effect
You can make a difference! One little move in your world can cause gale force winds across the universe…
I received an email this morning from a dear friend about the horrors going on in Burma. The deadly Cyclone has already killed up to 100,000 Burmese, and has left tens of thousands more in imminent danger of death from hunger and disease. Although the world has responded with emergency supplies and aid, the Burmese military regime is blocking all efforts to get relief to the people. Burmese Buddhist monks, prominent and student leaders, and others, have issued a public appeal for the UN to stop waiting for permission from the Burmese military regime. This email was a plea to click on a link that sends a letter of appeal to the Chinese UN Ambassador to use their power to apply pressure to persuade the Burmese government to allow the UN to move in and immediately dispatch relief.
