Hello and welcome.
Have you ever had that feeling inside yourself,
This aspiration that you want to make an impact in the world,
This feeling in your heart that you want to contribute to humanity?
But have you also dismissed it and let it go because you didn't know how you could do it or how you could achieve it?
Or maybe you thought to yourself,
Who am I to make a difference?
Now I believe that all of us in our heart,
We feel a sense of human connection.
We feel and we know that we're part of something greater than ourself.
And because of this,
We inherently want to do things for the benefit of others.
And that's why it feels so good when we actually do that.
Our mind has this habit of getting in the way and complicating things by prematurely worrying about what comes next.
Now maybe you've had an experience like this when you've had an aspiration in your heart to travel somewhere or to study or to create something.
This aspiration comes but then you start thinking about what it's going to take to do that,
All the things you need to do to achieve that aspiration.
And before long,
That little flame in your heart,
It fades away into the background.
You see,
Your mind complicates things.
So let's see if we can uncomplicate it.
Let's simplify.
Let's start with a direct question.
Do you want to make a positive impact in the world?
To contribute to the uplifting of your family,
Your friends,
Your community,
Or humanity?
Now I want you to notice if you're hesitating with that answer.
Can you feel your mind getting ahead of you,
Worrying about what comes next or how you'll do it or what that will look like or whether you're worthy of doing that or who are you to do that?
Or you even acknowledge the yes.
Yes,
I want to make a positive impact in the world.
Now I want you to take a moment,
Drop out of your head and into your heart and simply feel a part of you who says yes.
Yes,
I want to make a positive impact in the world.
Don't even try to think about what resources or skills you have that you could contribute.
You don't even have to worry about what it will look like.
Simply feel the yes.
Getting ahead of yourself here is just complicating something that's very simple.
Do you want to make a positive impact in the world or not?
You see,
When we worry too much about what comes next and we get caught up in that,
Then we don't fully embrace the yes.
In the yes,
There's a beauty and a simplicity of who you truly are.
The yes is a handle into your heart.
So this yes,
It's more than a word.
It's a feeling.
We feel it in our heart.
It's warm,
It's bright,
It's peaceful,
It's connected and it makes us feel alive.
Now,
What do you do with it?
Well,
I just want you to keep feeling this yes.
Yes,
I want to make an impact in the world.
Feel it in your heart.
And as you do that,
I want you to notice how it has an uplifting effect on you.
Now it has that effect because it's bigger than you.
It's bigger than your fears,
Your insecurities and your limiting belief systems.
This yes comes from the part of you that is already connected to the rest of humanity,
To nature,
To animals,
To life.
Now as you keep feeling this yes in your heart,
I want you to notice where you disconnect.
What excuses does your mind give you to disconnect from your heart?
Don't judge your mind's excuses.
Just observe them and then return your awareness back to this yes in your heart.
You see,
Simply living from your heart will make an impact in the world because it will ripple out into the lives of the people around you,
Your family,
Your friends and workmates,
Ultimately rippling out into humanity.
So this yes,
Keep returning to it,
Keep feeling it and remember this yes is a handle into your heart and it's the foundation and the starting point to create a more peaceful and connected world.
