Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 http://www.mercola.com/2007/feb/8/you-can-chanYouCANChangetheWorldge-the-world.htm You CAN Change the World Mahatma Gandhi said, "In a gentle way you can shake the world." And there are ways of doing just that. You can make changes for the better if you: Know that significant change throughout history has occurred because of the courage and commitment of individuals Believe that you have a unique purpose and potential Recognize that nothing you do is trivial, and everything matters Take personal responsibility Don't wait, and don't get caught up in the details Be aware Change yourself The following is written on the tomb of an Anglican Bishop in Westminster Abby (1100 A.D): "When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. "But it, too, seemed immovable. "As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it. "And now, as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family. "From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country, and who knows, I may have even changed the world." Positive Path Network Dr. Mercola's Comment: I found the linked article a particularly inspirational reminder that if you place your focus on an intention, there is a far likelier chance of being successful. Personally, my mission is to change the world of health care. It is my intention to inspire and encourage a few million people to do likewise and then it will happen. My best estimate is that it will take about 35 million Americans to achieve this. We only need 10 percent of the public to be conscious of the truth. That, clearly, is not everyone. In fact, it is not even remotely close to a majority of the population. Once that amount of people know the truth, change is inevitable as anything less will not be tolerated. You have your own mission, and I encourage you to continue along your journey, as that is what is right for you. If you don't yet have a passion, change the world in some positive way. I encourage you to join me in my efforts and become a beacon of truth about natural health. Learn as much as you can and point out the massive fraud and deception that is so pervasive around us. As I said in the last newsletter, I truly believe that together we can help uncover the rampant fraud and deception and change the world. I believe that even with the best and most effective marketing money can buy, though, the truth can only be concealed and suppressed for so long. The drug companies' entire strategy is beginning to implode because they never realized what a powerful force the Internet could be for educating and spreading information to the masses. In 2004, Merck -- one of the most prestigious and conservative of the drug companies -- lost $50 billion in their Vioxx scandal ... a scandal that, by conservative estimates, was behind the deaths of over 60,000 people. If you had been one of my newsletter rs in 1999 you would have read my warning to avoid Vioxx as it could lead to heart attacks. It was the first public warning about the danger and many thousands of lives were saved with this information. It is my hope to that this site and others will provide you and the rest of the world with a treasure trove of knowledge and health wisdom that will allow you to avoid the drug and surgery model. On Vital Votes, Nick from South Carolina says: "We need to commend warriors like Dr. Mercola for taking a stand against this fraud and deception in the name of corporate greed. To all you cynical viewers and non-believers out there and there are a lot, take it from me it is real. "I was deceived for close to nine years with serious Multiple Sclerosis and was told there was no cure. I almost lost everything, my wife, kids and I became financially devastated. I've since discovered the TRUTH and cured myself of MS through alternative methods. I have made a comeback against all odds! "My only frustration now is for the change to occur it will take some time, hopefully I am wrong. We need to stop this modern day holocaust and needless suffering as soon as possible. By the way, I don't consider myself a victim of the deception but a sucker for being brain washed by these corporate giants. This cultural hypnosis has been woven very deep for generations."
