Be part of the change

There is a global change happening & you are part of it! Yes you...whether you know it or not. There is a movement to change the world from the inside out, to stop contributing to the exploitation of suffering, to own our role in being the change we want to see in the world.

Either you are taking part, watching it happen, exploiting it or part of the universal voice saying 'we've had enough'. Everyday billions of people are sharing information, what will you share?

Will you be part of that which contributes to the desire for more? More money, more you, more time, more family or will you be part of the movement to be the difference, to change the world from the inside out? What is your contribution? What part will you play? Will you slow it down? or will you step up?

When was the last time you listened? to your heart, your voice, your actions, your friend, your family, a child....your soul, when you listened and said absolutely nothing! Hearing is a physical capacity many are blessed with, listening is a skill many never achieve. When was the last time you tapped into the quiet voice inside you that speaks the moment before you say something you wish you could take back, the soft voice which reminds you try one more time, the voice which knows the difference between what should be done and is done. The voice sometimes drowning from your bitterness, anger and frustration, stop projecting your pain onto others, that is not the solution & they have their own.

Yes talk about it, by all means reach out, get it off your chest, don't carry that weight you are lugging from day to day, it is weighing your down. Yes talk about it, with people who can direct you towards positive change, stay clear of those who belittle, befriend, bring you down and feed the negativity so much your weight increases.

Do you go to bed dreaming about what could be and wake up with a new plan? Do you go to bed dreaming about what should have happened and wake up with regrets. Does your body ache from the saddness of missed opportunities?

The body is the barometer of the soul. Your body, the one that takes you through every experience, every life changing moment, it is your only constant. Your body, the one you take to work, to holidays, to parties, to every moment you experience. What is your barometer reading? Pain, saddness, bitterness, anger, frustration? Happiness, joy, love, confidence, courage? How do you nurture your body and therefore nuture your soul? Is it tired and worn down or alive with passion and excitement? Stop punishing and start rewarding your body for everything it has done for you, given you; every place it has taken you, moments that take your breathe away. Nothing is more beautiful, more sexy than a body that radiates life!

Who is going to change this? Who will be the difference? YOU and only YOU. You are the change. What are you willing to do to make this change? What risks will you take? How hard can you persist? Will you give up? Never ever give up!

Sometimes it's damn hard, sometimes you will have to exhaust all efforts to know you need to try one more time. There will be times you may not feel strong enough, wise enough, brave enough. You have everything you need right there inside you. If you are breathing, you have what you need, go and get the rest! If you wait for someone to bring it to you, you risk waiting until the end of your days.

Stop with the excuses, stop with the blame, stop with the time wasting. Embrace who you are, stand naked in front of the mirror and get to know yourself, everything about you. Why is it that others can see more in you than you can see in yourself? Yes you have scars, you have them inside and out. Beauty is far from skin deep. A motivated, challenged, enthusiastic, driven person is not only beautiful it's hot! What is your mission in life? What legacy will you leave?

Take off those glasses, stand there in all you were born with, no money, no debt, no material possessions, nothing, just the body you came in. Who the hell are YOU and where are you going, then put your foot forward & get going! (Just remember to put your clothes back on first!)

Repeat after me "I can do anything I put my mind to" "I am amazing" "I have everything I need right here, right now" to create the change I need to be the person I am destined to be, the universe is calling and my hears are wide, I am listening.

Get a life people, the life you dream of, you create when you manifest your dreams into a vision. Take responsibility, practice the 3R's & be the difference - Respect for self, respect for others, responsibility for your actions &"Be the change you want to see in the world" Gandhi
