EVERY IDEA INVOLVES THREE STEPS!

STEP ONE: YES I CAN - Setting the Intention!
Knowing that I can do it is the First Step. Ideas and creativity flow just as one tunes into ones own potential and sets an intention.

STEP TWO: YES I WILL - Giving it your undivided Attention SMARTLY!
Deciding to Commit one's time and energy to doing it is the Second Step.
In the world there is no shortage of ideas or creativity. How many are genuinely committed to their ideas and willing to give it attention and time!
They are the

STEP THREE: YES I DID - Manifesting your Idea! Becoming the Change!
Knowing and Committing is great but unless we get up from the seat and work towards it, the idea doesn't bear fruit!

Most people are caught up in complaining about everything that is wrong about the world.
And then there are those who dream of change, who have ideas to bring about the change!

Most of the time, we invest heavily on the 'YES I CAN' PHASE - Dream about our idea, Write about it, Talk about it, Fantasize about it, Blog about it, DIscuss about it, Argue about it!
We spend all our Time, Energy and Money on 'YES I CAN'. The Obama campaign is an example of that! Everyone feels good about it. It is Magical!

Those who manage to get out of the dazzle of the 'YES I CAN' phase, step into the 'YES I WILL'.
We spend planning, creating pathways, looking into the practicality of the idea, and the hows of doing the Idea. We set the Stage for the Idea!
Most of the time we are caught up in working hard in the 'YES I WILL' instead of working smart.

And then comes the actual groundwork, the doing, the moving of the body, getting up from one's seat and stepping into the challenging practicality of the real world.
Willing to risk it all!
Willing to trust!
Willing to connect, belong and flow with the rhythm of the infinite creative power of the universe!
How many of us are willing to DO IT!
DO THE GRUNT-WORK!
DO THE IDEA!
MANIFEST IT!
MAKE IT HAPPEN!

How many of US are committed to move from YES I CAN to YES I WILL to YES I DID!
They are the MOVERS AND SHAKERS who shift the world - who become the Change!
Each one of us is reverberating with the magic of 'YES! I CAN'!
It takes courage to move it to 'YES I WILL' and even greater courage to move it to 'YES! I DID'!
And today as we step into YEAR 2011 the world is heavily relying on the YES I CAN-WILL-DID generation to step forward...
There are infinite possibilities for CHANGE...
We are looking at a specific one for YEAR 2011!
