ONE BLOW AT A TIME
In this quick and fast-changing world we live in today, it seems that the idea of something being absolute or fail proof, is as elusive as the movement of a Bee Hummingbird! The “bar” of perfection doesn’t seem to have a definitive level of what is low enough or high enough; and the cap on morality is gradually being removed altogether. If you are one who has managed to keep your head and heart clear to some degree, of all the negative fallout, there is a good chance you too agree that this phenomenon is tearing away at the fabric of society in every sector of life. When corruption and lawlessness sit in the seats that are reserved to bring hope and well-being, it has a way of trinkling down and spreading out at every level.
For those of us whose concern goes beyond sighs of regret; and beyond rehearsing the many problems we face in our society, this is a question that should be asked… How can I as an individual bring “mending” solutions within my sphere of influence, that will have a lasting and positive impact beyond myself?
It’s true, the mountain of issues we are facing in the world right now is of gigantic proportion, but what if at an individual level, we make a decision to take a strike at that mountain one blow at time… what would it look like for the people around you, who may be totally ripping away at society, but instead, you greet the situation with the opposite! Where there is disrespect, you demonstrate respect – where there is lack of integrity you demonstrate integrity – where there is hatred you demonstrate love – where there is lack of discipline you be the demonstration of discipline – where there is tearing others down you build others up – where the standard is disregarded or convoluted – you set the standard! I think you catch my point of view.
I’m not sure where it originated, but this quote is always a good place to start when there is a need for change… “Be the change you want to see”
Hopeful!
