You CAN be change!!!

PERSPECTIVE

Everything is about 'perspective.'

--------

So...
You look at the world, and see all the bad things that are happening.

• You feel you wish to change people's attitudes so they will not do these things.
• You feel you need to change the world
• You want to change things BIG
• You've been trying...
• But when that fails or does not progress in the way you expect,
• You're feeling guilty because the problems are still occurring...
• You feel people are living such awful lives when you are not.
• So you feel guilty.
• Because they are unhappy, but you are not. 

• However, YOU are not the one causing the negativity.
• YOU are not the one harming others.
• You are NOT responsible!!!

But you feel powerless and still want change.

So what do you do?

You don't have to ignore it. You can accept what is occurring without holding on to the guilt as it isn't your fault. That guilt, will be grinding you down and making you ill. However, that is not to say you should ignore what's happening. But, start thinking and not putting guilt, which isn't yours, on yourself. When you've done that, THEN you can start to consider the problem in a more positive way :-)

Now just stop for a second.






Breathe deeply...






Relax...






And let's look at things from a different perspective.

--------

Let's think things through.

Let's try a different strategy.

Rather than trying to change things quickly and then feeling guilty when it's not working, try and change things longer term.

--------

Let me explain.

--------

People who do negative things are usually unhappy and living through fear rather than love.

It's not your job to change every single person as it would be an impossible task. Every individual is different and at a different level of development. Some will take notice, some will not. But you can't change that.

However, that is not to say you are powerless. You have to stop thinking negatively because you can't achieve these huge tasks.

• Accept your limitations.
• Build on the things you do have.

If you try to overstretch yourself, you just put on more pressure.

Think, what can I 'realistically' do to change things?

You can try and put people on the path to learning to love themselves, not in a vain way. I've learnt that happy people, truly happy people who are happy with themselves and love themselves, will also love others and want to see them happy as well.

• Do 'you' feel HAPPY in yourself?
• Do you LOVE yourself? (not in a vain way).
• Do you look AFTER yourself?

If you're uncertain about any of these, then here's where you need to start. For you cannot begin to help others until you've learnt how to help yourself. THEN you can move onto others and help them.

But, if they appear not to listen, don't worry. You've probably triggered SOMETHING in them that they will remember when the time is right. That is a good thing. Be happy with yourself when you do a small good thing for you've had a positive effect on someone

My own strategy, if you can call it that, is to put a smile on people's faces. If that's all I can do then so be it. But I've had a positive effect on them and maybe they will do the same for someone else.

Pebble in the Water Effect

You drop a small pebble in the water. And although that pebble seems to do nothing but float to the bottom, in fact it has done much.

• It has created disturbance and ripples in the water.It has had an effect on its new environment.
• It has churned up everything where it drops through.

But those ripples will go onto affect something else. May only be small. May have moved a twig or something. And maybe that twig will now float downstream to new growth. Or maybe a bird will take note of it to use it as a last twig to complete its nest.


It's all about PERSPECTIVE.


You don't need to be a massive meteor that completely changes everything. You only have to be that small pebble, because that small pebble has created waves that has affected others.

So in life, you may 'feel' you've only affected one or two people, but in fact you have affected many. For those people will go on to affect others You've started a chain reaction that is never ending.

Congratulations!

• You've made change for the better
• Be happy and smile!

And you can be that pebble many times over, so imagine how much effect you would have

Know your limits, but also know even small things can have big impact. It may take time, but it's still positive change :-)

Most importantly:

You ARE change!!!

Peace & Happiness x
