The Launch
Six of us gathered at our home tonight and brainstormed about the possibility of creating the Positive Place Talk Show. We were led by Nick Conedera the director of the inspiring Miracle Morning movie. He showed us a system called Appreciate Inquiry. It has four phases or elements. They are discovery, dream, design and destiny. We all looked at our relationship in the past with media and cinema through journaling. Then we dared to dream of the fruition of our labors and involvement. Then we used sticky notes to design the show in four segments, including funding, content, production and distribution. It was three hours of exciting contributions by all of us. The destiny part will come later.
In the dream phase of the brainstorming here is what I wrote. On the February 2028 cover of Time Magazine was a large red heart. Here is the story. The Positive Place Television Show has changed television in an amazing way. Ten years ago, six people met in an old house on the outskirts of the city of Sedona Arizona and dared to dream. Their mission was to help the world be a place of love, compassion, caring and abundance for all. It began as a half hour pilot that cost $50,000 dollars to make. Now the Positive Place earns $50,000 per minute in revenue each program.
This is where the Positive Place became a transcendent program. They donate every dollar of net profit to organizations all over the world. They fund climate change, clean water for families in third world countries. They have created their own non-profit centers to help eliminate poverty. They have partnered with other philanthropic organizations to fund inner sustainability. Inner sustainability is helping people get healed in their personal lives. When folks are healthy, mentally, physically and financially, they make choices that creates outer sustainability. They recycle, use alternative fuel, become carbon free, eat a life sustaining way and shop sustainably.
The Positive Place has put the love of all beings in its mission. And it has put the heart back into show business. We honor them with the Time Magazine most influential award of the year!
I encourage all who read this blog to find a project that will have you dream. Even if this show does not unfold like we want it to; it creates an energy for other souls on the planet to get involved in making a difference. When any one of us takes a stand for the good of all, positive change happens sometimes in miraculous ways. From my dreaming heart to yours, Thomas
