Who am I, but a little speck on this huge planet? Never mind comparing my existence to the pure vastness of this universe and beyond. So, when I choose to speak my mind, does my opinion really matter? Can I really make a difference and influence lives in any noticeable fashion? Then, I suppose, I should consider whether my influence is positive or negative. What is the best way to deliver my opinion? Am I ready to face the consequences of my projected thoughts?

I've been to every kind of motivational seminar, read every kind of self-help book, listened to a multitude of books on tape concerning attitude, salesmanship, quantum physics, and many other topics. They all seem to have a similar ring to them. Your attitude is the determining factor in how you let just about everything affect you. We've all heard the expressions "You are what you eat!" and "You become like the five people you associate with the most." It seems that what affects us the most is things- or energies- that surround us, whether we purposely invite that common existence or not.

Quantum physics shows us that we all share energy. It bounces instantaneously from one thing to another, without the time-space continuum having any effect. Essentially, my thoughts can bounce into another person's existence where they can sense what I'm thinking or feeling. Call it whatever you'd like to: ESP, Dj vu, intuition, psychic, or just coincidence. Whatever it is, it does exist in some form or another, audaciously defined by the essence of quantum physics. Therefore I potentially can affect others with my thoughts.

Another "law" of quantum physics relates to "intention". This can be a tricky law because one can actually "intend" something unintentionally. If you are constantly thinking negative thoughts, you can intend negativity into your life. I would think that most of us would not intend to create negativity on purpose. On the other hand, one can purposely intend something, and watch it manifest, creating positive things in life.

I believe that we all can do anything we set our minds on accomplishing, whether positive or negative. We are powerful. We have more control than we realize. If I weren't here- right here, right now- all the lives around me would be different in some way. The difference may be subtle or magnificently different. That one little difference that I create will then create a difference in the next life, and the next life; a domino effect. I really will never know how much my life affects the world.

So, I guess my opinion does really matter- to me anyway. I become what I think about. My thoughts become things. So, I'm going to listen to my opinions. They do matter.
