The result is not what matters

In contests, elections, races, whatever it is in life that ends in a result, a winner or a loser, it is not the result that matters.

The world is not changed by the outcome of one ‘race’ or another.

It is people who make the difference, not just the others, us.

How we react to the result of something is an individual choice.

Sure, if it doesn’t go our way, the natural human reaction is to blame ignorance, the other side’s behaviour and so on. A form of breaking up our crayons.

However, a different opinion does not imply ignorance and in fact, ignorance could easily be reserved for people who can not comprehend or accept that our opinion is not the only one, that’s assuming we need to even level ignorance on anyone.

The effects of the results of races depend on whether you want to sit and moan, or whether you want to take part in the change that you wanted.

After all, if we fell into a pot of doom and gloom and spat insults out every time a result went against us, we would never inspire any difference in the world.

Fear leads us to visualise the very worst after a ‘bad’ result. Yet that is often before anything has actually happened. Predicting the future is at best clutching at straws. Better to try and create the future we want through our actions rather than polishing up our crystal balls.

If you don’t like the result, be part of the change that brings a different result in the next race. However, be prepared if or when you ‘win’, the other ‘team’ might just do the same next time.

In other words, nothing is forever, we can always change something, but not through insults, fear and crying in our tea.

It’s over, rise up strong like the Phoenix from the ashes and build what you wanted.

3 days at the Cabaret

OuiShare Fest 16, Cabaret Sauvage Paris – Philip Dodson

So for the last 3 days, I have been at the OuiShare Fest 16 in Paris, it’s another tough assignment!!

The event has been hosted at the Cabaret Sauvage situated on the banks of the Canal in Parc Villette and unlike many events/conferences/festivals that I have attended this has been really different.

I will be coming away from the event with a real positive energy, that I have picked up from talking to so many people who are creating something different.

The feeling of optimism about the future of the human race can be felt from all and the feeling of shared values, shared common purpose, there has been a real feeling of togetherness.

Most of our society is driven by fear, intolerance, judgement, hate, anger and that is created and fuelled like a disease by the established order. The order that hoards all the power, wealth, resources, media and government for the benefit of a tiny few. It is the industrialised system, that has turned the mass into interchangeable and disposable cogs in their machine, living a life of servitude to debt and living under an umbrella of fear and control.

It is the moment for the human race to turn that off, it is the moment to walk away from that all and come together and build an alternative, bypass the old OS. Build a new positive future for the human race focused on common good, focused on people and values.

We are living in a moment previously unimaginable to humans, where we can all now write our own book and publish it ourselves, we can broadcast on our own TV channel, we can share our message via a blog, social media, we can sing on our own ‘record label’, we each have the power to create whatever we want and share with whoever we want. We can use technology such as block chain to govern ourselves.

All of this has only happened in the last few years out of the 70,000 years it has taken homo sapiens to leave the plains of Africa to today. We are living in the most amazing times and none of us can predict just how much we can do, other than we have the power for the first time ever to become a single human race and govern ourselves for the good of all and turn our backs on greed, hate, fear, judgement, control and slavery.

What 3 days at the Cabaret have done for me, is to convince me to pursue my plans to be part of building that alternative.

I urge everyone to join in and help to create a world for all and not to be slaves to the tiny few.
