50 People, One Question

15 Jan

Jenny sent me this link today and I couldn’t help but share it with you. They go to a certain location, ask a question, and film their responses. The video above is, ” If anything could happen by the end of today, what would you wish to happen?” It’s a really great question, and beautiful to see all of the different answers. At first I was stumped, and then a rush of personal ideas came to mind: a ticket to paris fall on my doorstep, get offered my dream job, have one more day with my Dad..the possibilities are endless. And then I thought of even bigger issues: end AIDS, cure for cancer and Multiple Sclerosis, end poverty- again limitless possibilities. It’s such a profound question, and makes you start thinking, if this is what I want, why not fight for it? Sure it is not possible to bring back lost loved ones, and win a billion dollars, but it is possible to fight for a cure for cancer, help alleviate poverty and work hard to earn the money you would like and be successful. 

On their website they ask another beautiful question, “If you could wake up anywhere tomorrow, where would it be?” It makes you think, if it’s not where you are now, why not go there? As millennials we have the whole future ahead of us and should start living the life we want!

    This is inspiring. I’ve been thinking for ten minutes and I’m still not sure how I would answer that question.
