It’s really not that hard you know, to change the world.
It is, to understand that you can’t really change the world. It’s a bit ambitious, don’t you think? I mean, the Earth is 40,075 kilometres around, after all. That’d be a heck of a lot of Ubers.
The world you can change isn’t actually THE world, it’s YOUR world. THE world, the 40,075 kilometre world, is probably something you may know little about. Or, maybe you know a lot. YOUR world, on the other hand, is the world you know everything about. It’s the life you live every day.
If you’d ever aspired to change the world, I’d have to ask, “where would you begin?” Four minutes in front of the television or a social media feed would give you enough fodder to potentially resign to failure before even starting. It’s just too much; too much to absorb, to much to digest, too much we don’t know about. It’s just too much from head to toe. But, your world; your world will always be whatever the amount is that you can handle at the time.
There will be times when a missing sock will make you feel like you can’t win at anything. And, there will times when you’ll feel as though you could climb Mount Everest in flip flops and Bermuda shorts. With a Volkswagen on your back. Either way, VW or not, it is your world to change.
I think, for most of us, we are able to say that there are things we can change; that there are things we should change. But, what to change? It is a relative word, change. What might be such for one person won’t be for another.
Your Heart.
We talk about Heart here a lot; there’s a reason for it. Your Heart isn’t wrong. Like, really, truly, what’s in your Heart isn’t wrong. It can’t be wrong. We can be wrong, but our Heart can’t. And so, how do we differentiate between the two? By forming a bond with your Heart; a relationship.
Seem like it doesn’t make that much sense, right? I mean, I get it, it’s inside of your body. Shouldn’t you inherently have a bond with it? It makes everything work. Without it, you’d be in the morgue. So, doesn’t that mean you have a bond with it? No. A relationship with your Heart doesn’t happen out of default. It’s not simply a given based upon a physical connection and presence. I couldn’t imagine those that do terrible acts against fellow man, are damaging in their daily lives or are simply just inconsiderate could have a meaningful relationship with their Heart? It couldn’t tie together. It’s not that any of those people are bad, it’s just that they haven’t learned to communicate with what’s really inside.
So, how do you do it? How do you cultivate that relationship? You listen. You feel. You recognize what your Heart really resonates with, and you silence the noise. You speak with your Heart. It’s not just a pump for your body; it’s your mind, your soul, your guide.
No one can tell you what to change. You have to tell you. You have to build that relationship with your guide, your Heart, to feel what it is that will fill you. Your Heart is always there for you. It wants to be there for you. It is meant to be there for you.
Don’t change the world, just change your world.
Be Love.
