Magnificent Monday!!

Greetings Global Villagers:

On this Magnificent Monday, we will consider the following quote from Building America: The Democratic Promise of Public Work by Harry C. Boyte and Nancy N. Kari,

"The way people imagine what they can and ought to do powerfully shapes how they act" (p. 25).

Remember when we talked about the fact that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are directly connected.  We are not only what we eat; we are and do according to what we think. If we think that we are going to have a bad day, then we will have a bad day. If we think that we are powerless to make any changes on our jobs or in our personal lives, then we close ourselves off to the possibilities of transformation and revolution.

Let's consider the social problem of homelessness, for example. A new organization by the name of We Feed the Homeless Philly, grew to over 500 supporters and volunteers in a little over a year. Why? Because the Founder and CEO, Craig Stroman, decided that he had to and could feed the homeless. His imagination, not only renewed the vision for his life, yet it powerfully sparked the latent possibilities in others to do public work.

So on this Magnificent Monday, I want us to think about how we can powerfully transform and revolutionize our world for the greater good.

Why?

Because God created us with the power to fulfill our greatness!!
