I believe at the root of most of the problems we face in the world today, you will more often than not, find a lack of compassion, lack of love, lack of empathy. Mindfulness has been SCIENTIFICALLY proven to enhance (among other things) COMPASSION / LOVE / EMPATHY / HAPPINESS. Therefore, if we (as a global community) are able to get to the root of many of the problems the world faces with one simple practice, the world would become a better place. I truly believe this! Enough so that I quit my 6 figure job in Finance on Friday, May 19th to pursue this purpose. Mindfulness is FREE TO EVERYONE, and can be practiced in as little as 1 minute a day.
I created an Instagram page, 5mindfulbreaths , to provide tool to give everyone that daily reminder and hopefully start the global mindfulness conversation. I believe that if we are able to make mindfulness go 'viral' and spread awareness of the scientific benefits of practicing it, the world WILL become more LOVING, COMPASSIONATE & HAPPY. What do we have to lose? There are ZERO negative side effects associated with mindfulness. We need mindfulness to reach the masses, ESPECIALLY those in my generation...The dreaded millennials! I would love the opportunity to discuss my project and the story which lead up to what I can only describe as my purpose.
Mindfulness Movement
Wonderful passage from the book 'Fear' by Thich Nhat Hanh.
"I know that if the energy of wisdom and compassion in all people could be nourished for even on week, it would reduce the level of fear, anger, and hatred in the world. I urge all of us to practice calming and concentrating our minds, watering the seeds of wisdom and compassion that are already there in us, and learning the art of mindful consumption. If we can do this, we will create a true peaceful revolution, the only kind of revolution that can help us out of this difficult situation."
Clearly, everyone on this forum already water those 'seeds'....What we need is to spread this message to the masses. Social media can be that portal if we are able to get the idea to go 'VIRAL'. I am hard at work everyday reaching out to influential people with global audiences to get them on board. [b]EVERY REVOLUTION, EVERY MOVEMENT HAS TO BEGIN SOMEWHERE...Lets take the reins and create a better world for us, our children, and future generations! I truly believe that mindfulness will be what changes the world.
