Be the change you want to see!
It is so easy to complain about what is wrong. It is so easy at times to be the pessimist and never come up- with any solutions to what is being addressed. Many people are negative and want to highlight all the wrong in situations, but that is easy to do. When you stand at the place of judgment and not at the door of change then you is just a problem that needs to keep your opinions to yourself. The one who sees a problem and want to see it changed is the one who is the solution to the problem. It is very easy to take the path of least resistance by not promoting change but is also the cowardly way. Those who choose to take a problem and address it, and bring solutions to it is the true change. People talk all the time about issues but never bring ansers or suggestions to change the problem. These people should be told in no certain terms to shut up! People today think it is okay to be bombarded with negativity but feel like we can’t say something because it may hurt someone’s feelings. To be PC is to be silenced in most cases. I would rather be correct then politically correct any day. The ones who highlight negativity typically just want to bring attention to something or someone else while hiding their own issues. So please be aware of the motives and intentions of the negative person. Don’t spend a lot of time with these types of people they are time bandits. They will typically not move forward, while stopping forward progress. I was told at a very young age by a Pastor that if you see a problem and it really bothers you, then you are most likely the one who needs to change it. I have lived by those words for over twenty years and have always been a part of the one, who sought to bring about change,
My encouragement for those who read the blog is to…
Be the change ou want to see. Surround yourself with people who are changers not complainers.
Be motivated by seeing things progress and not highlighted with no solutions.
Remember that if you are not a part of the solution then you are part of the problem. It is very easy to talk about what is wrong but it takes true courage to suggest and implement change for the better.
Don’t be afraid to silence the critics. Those who are cynical are those who are not mature enough to make decisions that will affect those around them for the better because they are still stuck on themselves. Those who are like this are selfish and really don’t want to see progress because they themselves are paralyzed (handicapped by their own dysfunction). Don’t surround yourself with these types of people because this attitude is not only contagious but toxic. Finally birds of a feather flock together and if you find yourself with these types of people there is something in you that attracts these types of people. Be aware of this as this can very well change your prospective on life.
Go and be the change you want to see.
