I have facilitated seminars throughout the world for leading corporate entities for many years in North America, The Bahamas, the Caribbean and the Asia-Pacific region. Now the material, ideas and concepts which I shared with my students over the years was designed to inspire and motivate people, and also to assist them in being more productive, and indeed professional at their job.
Now people often used to ask me the following question. Did you have to tailor your seminars in any way in order to fit in with the customs -- the culture of people in different parts of the world, and the simple answer to that often asked question is a definitive no. This really was one of the beautiful things that I discovered from my world travels and interactions with people from different cultures -- that basically we are all the same inside.
Oh sure there may be differences in appearances, in customs and in culture, however, once you get past the outer veneer, people are all the same on the inside. There is indeed I'm delighted to say, a universal connection between all the peoples of the world as basically people want the same things, like knowing and fully understanding who they are in reality, which is a child of God thus realizing that they are immensely talented, and can thus succeed if they consistently do the right things, follow the basic rules for successful living which apply across the board to everybody.
I've found, that at the very core of all people is a deep desire to love and be loved. So there is indeed a universal connection between all the peoples of planet earth, a oneness if you will. This is why I do tend to get very annoyed when I realize that politics, nationalism and religion are so often used to divide people into feuding, fighting factions around the globe.
Of course what really makes all the peoples of the earth one is the fact that in the end we are all children of the one God, therefore we're all in effect brothers and sisters in God's one universal family. So I do believe that in order for peace to be finally restored to planet earth, we all need to become aware of, and indeed respect the fact that there is indeed the universal connection which binds us all together. So, isn't it about time that we all started to focus much more on how alike we are in reality, and thus stop highlighting the differences so much? Yes it is!
