It’s never been easier to realize you CAN change your life, because technology, education, global culture, social institutions, government agencies and law enforcement have provided you with an unprecedented amount of information.
We live in a day when one’s mind and one’s outlook can be shaped by television commercials, radio broadcasts, billboards, magazines, newspapers, social media, Internet, podcasts, blogs, videos, text messages, mobile phones, electronic mail and more. This has enabled us to become a society of consumers who have been empowered and empowered they will be for their own self-fulfillment.
This has resulted in an unprecedented level of acceptance of poverty. We have come to accept our lot as criminals of choice, and the notion of poverty has disappeared from our thinking. We are the victims of circumstance.
We need to recognize that it is not we who need to change, it is we ourselves!
One of the keys to changing our thinking and our lives is that we often don’t realize that we have to change. We will be aware that it’s our lives we need to change. It is as real to us as the air we breathe, or the water we drink. If we’re not aware of that fact, we can be trapped by the delusion that it’s ourselves who need to change. If, in fact, it’s we who need to change.
Sometime, in our thinking, we assign the blame for our condition onto others. That we are helpless victims who don’t have the ability to change our circumstances, or the intelligence to change our future. We think that we should be grateful for what we have and focused on enhancing our lives, our futures and our values. We think that we should be thankful for what we don’t have and focused on preparing for what we don’t see.
We see ourselves as victims because we haven’t yet recognized our own power and influence, and recognize that we have the ability to change our lives and the futures we have to choose.
“What will I do when I have nothing?”
These are questions we ask ourselves from time to time. And for some of us, it is just a fantasy, just a dream, just a silly fantasy, something we want to believe but don’t fully believe. For others it are serious questions they never forgot, not questions we forget, not questions we dismiss or bury in the desert, not questions we disregard, not questions we don’t give serious attention to.
You don’t see the victim, you see the one who can do something about it.
I know this is an extreme version of the message, that perhaps you haven’t heard or considered or heard yet. This message is extreme in the positive sense. Most of the time we don’t act on it because we feel that it is the way things are and are resigned to being victims. But this time I am telling you that it’s not the way things are. If you are the one who can do something about it, if you are the one who has the ability to change things, then you can’t just accept the way things are. That is, the way things are could be the way things need to be.
So give yourself a gift. Give yourself permission to get up off the sidelines, get involved. Take a stand. Make a change. Be the hero. Don’t be a victim. And start acting.
You may find that you can’t change things, you may find that you have to be one of the ones who starts things moving. Not just one of the ones who watches. Not just one of the ones who helps, but one of the ones who makes things happen. Maybe not right away, but one of the ones who helps move things forward in the process.
You will do more than start things moving, you will create more than just be moving things forward. You will show that there is more than just a need, but a need. That there are people who can take a stand and create change. That there are people who can create a situation of value and abundance and strength. That you do have something to offer others. That you can change the world. And that you deserve to change the world.
"You must nurture your own inner being to accept yourself as you are. If you don't accept yourself, you will never be at peace with yourself."
