Be the Change
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948, Indian political, spiritual leader)
There is much talk about changes happening coming soon, some of it related to the anticipation of 2012 in which we see the ending of the ancient Mayan calendar on December 21 of that year. Some predict cataclysmic disaster; others predict incredible reform. Whatever you believe, what remains present is immense opportunity.
What if you could decide which change would be? Go ahead and play with that in your heart for a while. What particular change would you choose?
Would it be more love or joy? Perhaps peace or calm. Maybe it would be compassion, kindness and empathy for other beings. You might choose to connect with others more deeply or take action for a cause close to your heart. Possibly you just want more space. What do you really want to change? Explore to find your unanswered longing.
Inner Adventurers are people who care: care about themselves and about the state of this world. We appreciate the inner connection of all living things. We swim in the energy of life. So setting this intention for what we want is elemental.
The common next step is to think about how to put it into being. But somehow, we slip right into planning the doing of it: what we are going to stop doing and other things we intend to start doing. Okay, we’re human, so indulge this step, but don’t stop here.
Now, what about being it? Yes, I mean being it at your deepest level of spirit or soul. That is the only thing that makes the change. It was what Gandhi was pointing to and what Michael Jackson sung about in the chorus of Man in the Mirror:
I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change
To start to dig deeper into the spirit or soul “being-ness” of your longing, ponder these questions:
- Where does this desire come from? What’s behind it? Dig deep to understand it fully.
- How can I give this to myself or allow it to be for me? What can shift?
- What do I want to consciously honor that is already there?
- What is the purest expression of this energy?
Each day, you take the unwritten and write it on the tablet of your life and this world. It’s pure potential and opportunity.
Choose well for it affects all of us.
