With the groundbreaking grassroots involvement of millions of Americans in the 2008 Presidential Election, America has reached a tipping point - standing on the sidelines waiting for change to happen is no longer an option.开创性的基层参与数以百万计的美国人在2008年的总统选举,美国已经达到了一个转折点 - 站在场边等待发生的变化是不再是一个选项。 Barack Obama has made Gandhi's words mainstream, “be the change you seek in the world”, as well as the Native American statement “we are the ones we've been waiting for”.奥巴马作出了甘地的话说主流,“是你寻求改变世界”,以及美国本土的声明:“我们是那些我们一直在等待的”。 Hillary Clinton is talking about “positive change” and Oprah Winfrey has been cultivating the masses by teaching that “thoughts are things” and that change is possible through changing our thoughts.希拉里谈论“积极的变化”,奥普拉已经培养了群众教“思想的东西”,而这种改变可能是通过改变我们的想法。 PeaceLoveEarth's founders Anna Mkhitarian and Daniel Leighton have been building a business based on this paradigm since 2001, and they see a major shift in people's awareness these past few years.已PeaceLoveEarth的创始人安娜Mkhitarian的丹尼尔·礼顿基于这种范式建立业务自2001年以来,他们看到在人们的意识中,这些过去几年的一个重大转变。
“People, more than ever, understand that they have a significant role in the world, in society, in their relationships, and even more significantly, with their own selves.” says Leighton. “人,比以往任何时候都更明白,他们是在世界上一个重要的角色,在社会,在他们的关系,更重要的,与他们自己。”顿说。 Mkhitarian believes it is evident, with the election of Barack Obama, the worldwide embrace of the eco movement and more awareness about human rights and animal rights, that the positive change movement is here. Mkhitarian认为这是显而易见的,奥巴马的选举,世界范围内的生态运动的怀抱,更多有关人权和动物权利的意识,积极的变化运动是在这里。 She says, “we, as the human race, are more open to expanding our ideas to encompass what we have learned through history, as well as what we've learned in recent times. 她说:“作为人类,我们更加开放,以扩大我们的想法,包括我们学到了什么,以及通过历史我们了解到在最近的时代。 We are standing on the shoulders of our ancestors, not just the ones we are directly related to, but all of the leaders that have inspired us with their courage and wisdom. 我们正站在我们的祖先的肩膀上,而不仅仅是那些我们有直接的关系,但他们的勇气和智慧,启发我们的所有领导人。 We are also at a point in time where light has shined so brightly on so many inadequacies in human existence, that people can no longer justify living in the same manner.” 我们也照光如此明亮人类存在这么多不足之处,那人再也不能自圆其说以同样的方式生活中的一个点。“
The creation of the Seven Wishes Bracelet is a melding of the couple's convictions and vision of a stylish product that is eco friendly, is an interactive tool to assist in the not so simple task of making positive changes, and one that benefits the people making them, the wearer, as well as various social causes.创建七个愿望的手链是melding夫妇的信念和愿景的一个时尚的产品是生态友好,是一个互动的工具协助作出积极的变化不是那么简单的任务,和,有利于人民使他们死死的,以及各种社会原因。
Since he was a young boy, Leighton's mother (Carolyn Leighton, founder of Women In Technology International-WITI ) taught him that one of the goals of a business that many organizations ignored was to create as many “win-win” situations as possible.由于他是一个年轻的男孩,礼顿的母亲(卡罗琳顿,创办妇女在科技国际WITI )教他,一个企业的目标之一,许多组织忽略了尽可能创造尽可能多的“双赢”的情况。 “All of our products are designed with this in mind,” says Leighton, “The Seven Wishes Bracelet benefits the person who wears it, the environment and people around the world through organizations focused on creating positive change.礼顿说:“我们所有的产品设计考虑到这一点,”“,七个愿望手链的好处谁穿它的人,环境和组织世界各地的人们通过专注于创造积极的变化。 And, of course, everyone whose life is a little better or has a little more hope creates a ripple effect of positive change throughout the world.” ,当然,每个人的生活更好一点,多一点希望创建一个积极的变化,在世界各地的连锁反应。“
Mkhitarian's background (her parents are Armenian immigrants) was also a large factor in the creation of the bracelet, “one of my favorite Armenian traditions has always been the string bracelet because of the hope and the possibilities and the idea that at any point you can choose to create a better life for yourself and the world around you. Mkhitarian的背景(她的父母都是亚美尼亚移民)也被创造的手镯中的一大因素,“我最喜欢的亚美尼亚传统已经永远被串手镯,因为希望和可能性和想法,在任何一点,你可以选择为自己和你周围的世界,创造一个更美好的生活。 Since we created this product, we have discovered through our customers, that there are similar traditions in many other cultures including Ireland, Brazil, Spain, India, and many others.”因为我们创造了这个产品,我们已经通过我们的客户发现,有许多其他的文化,其中包括爱尔兰,巴西,西班牙,印度,和许多其他的类似的传统。“
Mkhitarian describes how it works, “you tie seven knots in the string of the bracelet each representing a resolution, intention, affirmation, prayer, -goal or wish.它是如何工作的,Mkhitarian描述,“你配合七节字符串中的每一项决议,意向,肯定,祈祷手镯,目标或愿望。 As you tie the knots, you write down what each knot represents.正如你配合疙瘩,你写的每一个结代表什么。 This way you can go back and read them and even memorize what each knot stands for.这样你就可以回去,并宣读他们甚至背诵每一个结代表什么。 You wear it until it falls off on its own.你穿它,直到它自身的脱落。 Until it falls off, you have a constant reminder of all the things you are working toward every time you look at the knots.直到它脱落,你必须不断地提醒你正在努力在海里每一次你看所有的东西。 It also comes in handy when negative thoughts or habits come up and when you want that extra boost.它也派上用场,当消极的想法或习惯上来,当你想要额外的性能提升。 When it does fall off, tradition says that your wishes will manifest and you are ready for your next phase in positive growth.” People have been wearing the bracelets for setting personal resolutions, as well as in wedding ceremonies, team sports, and business building among coworkers.当它不脱落,传统说,你的愿望清单,你准备好为你下一阶段的正增长。“人们一直戴着的手镯设置个人决议,以及在婚礼仪式,团队运动,和业务建设同事之间。 Kids love them as well.孩子们喜欢他们。 “They are a great way to teach children about setting and attaining their goals,” Mkhitarian says. “他们是一个伟大的方式教给孩子有关设置和实现自己的目标,”Mkhitarian说。
