Museums of poverty

"One day our grandchildren will go to museums to see what poverty was like."

-- Muhammad Yunus
founder of the Grameen Bank & 2006 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate

In an e-mail from Rebecca Fine of www.scienceofgettingrich.com I received this quote. Isn't that the most wonderful idea? That our granchildren would not be able to see poverty in the world, that they'd be able to learn about it only by reading and seeing historical images! Do you believe in the possibility of a better world? Is that what you want? Is that what you are working towards?

Believe that little old you can't make a difference? Here's another quote for you: “If you think you're too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.” Betty Reese (American officer and pilot) There are billions of people on this planet - if even a small (millions) proportion of them are working toward this future, it can't help but happen! Are you pulling with us?

Peace, abudance and love to you

Your 'To-Do' list vs Your Peace of Mind

So, here I am, it's after 5 on Friday afternoon, and I still have 2 hours minimum of work left on my 'to do' list. Hmmm...I think there is going to be stuff left undone this week! I have a very simple criteria to run by when I get to this point - will the world end if I don't do it? None of the items on my list are world altering at all.

Unless of course, I decide to berate myself for being rubbish, useless, lazy, etc. But why would I? Ok, this is the first time I have got round to writing my blog this week (can you believe a week has gone by ALREADY?!), and there are actions on here that I really could do with taking. But it isn't more important than my peace of mind!

Are you allowing the un-done items on your to-do list be more important than your peace of mind? And if so, WHY?! If the world won't be knocked off its orbit, it is something that can be done tomorrow. Or maybe the next day! In the meantime, have a GREAT weekend! I intend to.

Love
