“”To leave the world richer – that is the ultimate success.”  At first glance, one might think that this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt means to leave the world having accumulated the maximum financial wealth we can. Service to self. After all, that’s how our society has trained us to think about success.

But no, take a moment to scroll and read the entire quote. Eleanor Roosevelt meant we should aspire to leave this world knowing we contributed something positive to it, that it’s a better place because we visited here for awhile.

Think of the world we would create if we all embraced that thought!

Love is the fundamental center of our universe. Hate and fear try to worm their way in and take over, time and time again. Experience says that when they do, the best of the human spirit tends to rise up and say “no”.

Do you desire to build a better world right now? Make a personal pledge to always begin from a place of love and the results will astonish you. The dark has no real tools to defeat love. Loving yourself enough not to hook into your own dark side is a very strong beginning. When we succumb to our own dark thoughts, we are letting the controllers of this world divide and beat us.
