A short video about the future of humanity artfully reminds us of the power of perspective.

It’s sometimes hard to remember that the on the other side of negative consequences is always a positive possibility.

We constantly have the opportunity to choose one side or the other:

Whenever there is enthusiasm, there is a creative empowerment that goes far beyond what a mere person is capable of. – Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth

Thanks to Daniel Harbecke for pointing out this video.

At this point in history, do you think we really have the power to change what’s going on? Share your thoughts below.

    I was shown this awhile back and posted it everywhere. I really like it but I was surprised at some of the negative feedback I got. A few people missed the message it was trying to send and focused only on AARP being apart of it at the end, which they did not like. Anyway – great video.
