Imagine Better



What if there was such a thing as magic?
What if it really worked?

Bam – a dash of magic powder and you are transported to another realm, or into a different person.

Or

Drink this portion and you’ll grow hair, lose weight, or cure any other ill around you.


Wouldn't that be something?

Some would say our world needs a huge dose of some magic potion.  Indeed we do – however, I doubt the cure is going to come from a bottle or some ancient recipe. 

Love this comment.  Ponder it…

“We do not need magic to transform our world.
We carry all the power we need
inside ourselves already.
We have the power to imagine better.”
J K Rowling

And how do we imagine better? 

-It begins with a healthy dose of respect – respect for every man, woman and child who walks upon this earth.

-It begins with truth, integrity, and a wholesome sense of responsibility.  Are we thinking of unborn generations and our future citizens, or thinking only of our next pay check, our next vacation, or the next election?

Do we suffer from tunnel vision? 
Do we see worth and usefulness in every person?

Are we imagining better?

I am an optimist.  With every person I meet I anticipate some kind of connection, even if it is a smile, a nod of acknowledgement, and especially a generous “hello” or “how are you?”

I’m starting a movement - The Imagine Better movement. 

All are welcome.
