Just Make It Better

A lot can be said of the responsibilities of our society and what it does or does not enhance in our minds and lives. Many arguments are thrown around with such forthright as to how the children are today and what they need in order to be better tomorrow. All those of today are responsible for our followers of tomorrow. We must first challenge ourselves to rise above the static of society and our own insecurities. We must not refrain from our determination to create a better world for those that follow us, but rather be that of which we would love to see them be.

Simplistic it may seem, and that is quite simply what it is. The only way to create a change in any given attitude (including your own) is to just be something different then what already is and should not be. The more difficulty you find being what you want to see the more likely it is that you see the fault in yourself first. We cannot forgive the shortcomings of others that we would not or have not forgiven of ourselves.

When I catch that ever-unapologetic imperfection looming in my mind, I am not only pulling myself into my own puddle of self pity but I take away from all those I could inspire. With each passing judgment or self-deprecating comment we not only regress those around us but promote their negativity. Rather, with passing positivism and inspirational action we can give each and all something to look up too.

Start by acknowledging your discomfort with it, whatever ‘it’ may be, and instead of defending it or judging it, work on letting it go. Then with each day release it, and let it go! Just give it up already! Growth does not happen quickly, there’s no great training or therapy to create this everlasting fix. We all know anything that comes that easily cannot be all that worthwhile in the first place. So stop saying you know the line and actually decide to live it. If you want to change the world, go change yourself first. Because in truth, inside us all is where the problem lies and where it can end.  The diversity of our world is great and this gives each one of us an opportunity to do something transformative. As soon as each one of us agrees to find peace in ourselves, more peace we will bring to those we share this world with.
