Americans have chosen ‘hope over fear’: Obama
I have often been quoted as saying that hope is not a strategy. It would seem that I was wrong.
Barack Obama is proving to everyone that hope can indeed move mountains. He has captured people’s imagination all over the world with his message of hope. “YES WE CAN”. Hope can conquer prejudice. Hope can make people stand up an fight for what is right. Hope can lift a black man, the son of immigrants, to the highest post in America and arguably the world. How wonderful is that!
So for you, whatever your quest is, whatever your dream your really truly can do it. To quote from Barack’s speech today “All are equal, all are free and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness.”
But hope alone is not enough. And Barack can’t do it alone. He asked for everyone’s help because he understands that, probably better than any president in recent memory. So before the emotion and hope leaves you, write down what you are going to do and start doing it. There are millions of people that need your help, thousands of organizations you can join and communities of people that will help you.
To quote from Obama’s speech again “it has been the risk takers, the doers, the makers of things — some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom.”
So speaking personally, I have chosen to help those that create things so that my own efforts get amplified by those I can assist. That includes entrepreneurs and business people that have big dreams whether they are Canadian, American, Peruvian, African, Dominican … it doesn’t matter. If they are willing to work hard, take risks and help those around them I will help.
At MyQuest.tv, we aspire to provide a place where people can share their dreams and quests and where the tools and community will get assembled so that each and every one of you can reach your goals. Until that is fully assembled, let us use this blog as a place to start our community.
So … what are YOU going to do to assist Obama and your fellow people? What actions are you going to take and what kind of help will you need? Share your thoughts and join this community so we can all help each other.
Cheers,
