We Need YOU to Be The Change = You Need YOU to Be The Change
Have you noticed that the world around us is much like the world within most of us? Conflicted, confused, fearful, excitable, habitual, distracted, judgmental, over thinking, etc. As a professional coach I recognize not only my clients lives but also my own life. The ups and downs and what it takes to truly transform and thrive.
Just as with each of us, we need motivation to take action to change. For most people it takes getting to a tough place before we do something. It is even more the case for our society. The 'pain' must get to be too much that we can't ignore any longer. We begin to figure out what needs to be done and if we are really serious about it we will take great action getting to the cause and figure out what can be done, doing whatever it takes. If we are not quite there yet, we will look for 'easy quick fixes' to relieve the discomfort or 'pain', even distraction, external blame or denial.
As I listen to what's been going on in the world recently and loosely looking back at history. I recognize so many similarities, similarities in what seems to be apposing sides and conflicting values. But are they really? What if we were all wanting the same? What if we were all the same? What if we were one? Would we still have these conflicts? The easy answer is YES, we most certainly would. We would because most of us struggle with ourselves and have a lack of love and grace for who we truly are.
If we can't get to a place of equanimity within ourselves that honors who we are, then how in the world can we expect to get there honestly and sustainably out in the rest of the world?
I believe that we are all one. That we are all here on personal journeys of some sort and that we can expand into being our full potential when we give ourselves the unconditional love and grace that serves us, to experience our true natures. When we lead our lives from this place, we go out and play among others, expanding and growing our magic even more.
Imagine a world that everyone honored themselves and where they are. By honoring and being honest with ourselves we then lead with love and a playful curiosity in the world around us where no one is right or wrong where we always see the opportunities for personal growth in every situation. This is a practice a new way of being, (new habits that serve you) not a light switch that gets turned on and off when we need it.
So if we understand that we need to lead with love and grace to change the world. What do we need to do? Do we not shout back when people are shouting? Do we not fuel hate with more hate? Do we listen more and talk less? Do we let go of seeing people differently than we are? Do we become more curious and free with our thinking? Do we understand that though we may be one we are experiencing things from all kinds of different perspectives? Do we need to see fear as an indicator for us to become more curious?
Though this may seem a lot, or maybe even far fetched. If it helped would you take action? Small steps moving through curiosity. Make it an adventure, your adventure, as you explore new territories. Likening it to being on vacation with a playful heart and mind.
