You can change your world!


I recently had the opportunity to attend an international conference down in the States. People had come together from all over the world to be at the event and on the first day it seemed like utter chaos just trying to get inside and get seated. There where people as far as you could see; all of whom where speaking to someone in their own language – there was a symphony of noise made up of English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, French, and Portuguese (and all of the different accents and dialects within those languages).

Once we were all inside and seated the presenters began the conference and the 25,000 people that were in attendance listened. Headsets had been provided to everyone there that did not speak English, those headsets were translating every word that was said in real time into the language of choice for the person listening. In addition to that sign language translators had been brought in to translate for people that could not hear at all. I realized the power of what was happening when the first speaker made a joke (in English) and the entire crowd began to laugh simultaneously. Later on in the day the announcer invited us to enjoy a moment and put on a song that came blaring out of every speaker with the force of a rock concert, as soon as the first 3 notes played 25,000 people got to their feet and began to dance… the song was YMCA by the Village People. In that moment 25,000 strangers were totally connected, every face was smiling, every person was on their feet and when we got to the chorus every arm was raised in dance.

The experience moved me in a way that I can barely begin to describe.

We had all come together with a common purpose – to better our lives and to find ways to help others, to attract and manifest the life that we desired (both personally and professionally). For 3 days we listened and learned and shared. I met people from all around the world all of whom had such positive energy that it just reached out and touched you. It renewed my energy and my purpose to share the Law of Attraction. It confirmed my belief that anything is possible and that a world based on peace, connection, cooperation, and harmony IS possible!

It was a shining example that people should not be pre-judged based on where they live, what they look like, how much money they have, or what language they speak. The thing that connects us all is what we feel inside and our desire to create a life of joy and prosperity for ourselves and the people we love. That feeling, that need, that energy is the most powerful force in the world and it connects every single one of us! The most amazing gift we can give ourselves and our loved ones is to focus on that energy and manifest joy and prosperity until it expands and touches every person we come into contact with. You have the power to not only change your life but to help change the world.

Have a wonderful summer and celebrate your life!

In gratitude,
