Change: It Starts With Me

Change: It STARTS WITH ME

We are all part of this world that we are living for. We are the perception of all the humanity. But there is much talk in the spiritual communities about how the world that I see outside of myself is a reflection of the world that is inside me. Parts of the journey on our life are love, peace and happiness, understands that I am able to recognize my part in creation of God.

       Our perception is in fact on what we see in front. So it follows that the world that we are facing for is the world of frightening or fear, just because of the brutal killing, crime and everything that take place in our spectacle. Our societies are riddled with issues around trust, fear, anger, grief, victim mentality, blame, depression, anxiety, and addictions.

The path to recovery from these issues and others is to go within and find out what is actually true as opposed to what we have deduced from the environment that we grew up in.  In this case, how does this world become a place of safe and peace of every one of us?

          The answers lie on us. If I am full of love, and believe that the world is a safe and happy place to be, then the environment around me will be full of loving people and events. As I am continued to go through life, I add meaning to the events, and this is also stored for future reference.

My Dream, My Future

                                                     My Dream, My Future

               Do you pay attention in how fast time goes by? Before we realize, time has passed by and all the dreams we had for our future have not yet come true. The reason is because our dreams are just dreams and haven’t yet become goals. Life is no Nintendo game. You live only once. Therefore, we must fulfill those precious one called Dream during the rest of our short Life. As for me, I have my own dreams too. If you ask me this in my childhood, I would say: “I want to be a teacher, I want to be an actor and others. But if you ask me now, I will tell you I have three major dreams.

           First, I want to graduate this school with the best grades ever. So, my parents can be proud of me. Second, I want my life to be colorful and beatific. Enjoying life doesn't waste money. We should use many to do some significant things. For instance, we can contribute our money to help the poor and homeless children, we can travel to somewhere to see the nature scene, we can buy book or collect your interested things to enrich our life, and we also can have time to play with your family. Third, I want to travel all around the world. I have always been curious about other cultures and the differences between people in other countries. It would be amazing to travel the whole world. Just realize that you are riding an Elephant which is the biggest trickle being, or standing on the highest spot of magical Pyramids in Egypt, or maybe wandering deep in the sea and seeing unidentified creatures.

             Furthermore I would love to bungee jump or swim with sharks, experiencing life to the limits. In the future I may have new dreams, but the first goal I have to achieve is getting my diploma. This is one of the keys to accomplish my other goals and dreams. After becoming a professional, I want to start a family, one lovely wife and maybe three children’s and have one beautiful home to raise my kids and grow old with the people I love the most.
