I’d come across a very interesting statement a few years ago which claimed that “The only constant thing in life is change”!
Having the habit of questioning everything, this arose several questions in my head such as: Really? Why do we need change? Or do we just want it? Is it the same for everyone? Does everyone like change? What is change really? Is it always good?!
Then I remembered one of Gandhiji’s popular sayings, “Be the change you want to see” and I began to wonder why! How could that help?! And what if the change I wanted to see was in-fact foolish and unwise to begin with?!
I struggled with this for a long time but came to realize years later that changing myself may not lead to necessarily changing the world, but it certainly leads to a change in my world; and isn’t that really what one should be most concerned about?!
So perhaps, we should be questioning why we want to see a particular change and how will it help? Will it just help you get what you want right now or is this something you’d like to see for your future generations too?!
If the answers to these questions are positive then “Just Do It” ! But easier said than done right?!
This is an issue I’ve faced many times but the answer is in what I’ve said earlier… Keep It Simple Silly (KISS)!
Start small but just start! For instance, I want everyone to be free in this world and I may not know where exactly am headed with this blog, but if am able to positively affect even one person’s life, I’d be very happy; and so I just write from my heart!
