PEACE AND PROSPERITY ON EARTH FOR ALL

Enough about Killing...And Now It's Time for a Celebration of Life on Earth (Time Capsule Flashback)

While it is too late to turn back the hands of time, one thing is certain and it is this: As long as you are alive, it is never too late for you to make a "U Turn" (Joe Sample) and peacefully "Turn It Into Something Good" (Earth, Wind & Fire). It is never too late for humans to change for the betterment of humanity. It is never too late to realize peace and relative prosperity on Earth.

What better time is it than right now to realize Heaven on Earth for the living? The clock is ticking. You are not getting younger. Another second is history. The time is come for there to be Heaven on Earth for the living. The challenge before humans this day is to move away from counterproductive pursuits in life such as fighting, maiming, and killing. The challenge before humans this day is to redirect, channel, or focus their energies on constructive pursuits in life such as self-betterment or self-improvement. The challenge before the nations of the world this day is to morph into a social, political, economic, and cultural renaissance of futuristic living punctuated by peace and prosperity on Earth.

Countdown to a New Year
