I Have a Dream – The Audacity of a Universal Purpose in Life!!
My mind is ‘with child’, ‘but I don’t know nuthin ‘bout birthin’ no babies!!’
I’m not a teacher or a school administrator or a coach or a program director or manager. I am an observer, a writer, a speaker, a good Team member with the understanding and vision of a program that I know can make a huge difference.
I have excitedly described how this program would work to my sister and other Teams of mine and they have helped me to develop it even further. But when I tried to figure out how to get the funding to start it, I ‘folded like a cheap suit’!
Then a Team member of mine brought the American Express Members Projects to my attention. There it is!! That’s the way!! People with money searching for a way to bring forth their Potential and the Potential of their members to make our country and our world a better place!! Incredible things can and do happen!
I know within reason that there are tens of thousands of young people in this country and in the world who are not able to focus and bring forth their best because they don’t have an organized and clear way to think and understand and make good decisions.
I know that our public education system in this country leaves a lot of people out and leaves a lot of them behind and that we, as a country, are confused about what to do about it.
I know that that confusion leads to a lot of contention within various elements of our society. And I know that we, as a people, are willing to pay, are willing to devote a lot more or our resources to solve this problem if we can just figure out a way; a way to focus our money and effort and attention on a program that will really work.
I have a dream! Yes, I have a Dream!! I have a dream about a way to change that and turn it around. I have a dream of a day when all of our young people will come out of our public education system with the same Universal Purpose in Life. One that causes them to be constantly searching for a bigger and better way to devote themselves to bringing forth their best potential in service to others. And yet to be fully focused and completely dedicated to bringing forth the best potential they have discovered so far in service to their families and work and other teams in their lives.
And because of this Universal Purpose in Life, because of the fact that they know that they have put forth their utmost effort in bringing forth their best potential, they are self-confident, satisfied and have peace of mind! That because they are constantly searching for better ways to bring forth their Highest and Best Potential, they are excited and looking forward to tomorrow, knowing that ‘the best is yet to come!’
I have a dream that they come out of our public education system understanding what ‘the best things in life’ really are; that they understand what ‘living the good life’ really is, and that they are realizing those things in their lives because it is they are the result of being devoted to and living The Universal Purpose in Life.
Yes, I have a dream. A dream that this can and will come true! And that dream has brought me here to American Express and to You. I can only put it out there and hope that you and others will understand its potential.
All you need to do to make this dream a reality is to be ‘in service to’ American Express and help them to bring forth their Best Potential by funding this dream for our nation and the world!!
I’ll see you in my Dreams!!
