A lizard in a third world country doesn’t become a crocodile by moving to a first world. The bush man doesn’t become modernized merely by moving to an urban center. It’s easy to get a man out of the village; it’s another thing to get the village out of a man. The person with a ‘star mentality’ feels and acts like a ‘star’ even when in a ‘starless food kiosk’ The person with low self esteem doesn’t feel better by virtue of being in a five star hotel…for wherever YOU go, there YOU will be… carrying your own world with you!
Today, 6.8b people call our fragile planet home. Each represents a unique combination of past experiences, prevailing circumstances, future prospects, outlook on life, attitudes, faith, preferences and such characteristics only distinctive to us. It is the entrenchment of these attributes that form the patterns of our lives; how we feel about ourselves, our believe systems (convictions), how we relate, goals, attitudes and desires which mark the limits within which our world spins.
The only way to experience any virtue in your world is if you posses it. Those who have learnt to love the self can give and appreciate/experience love. We are magical at our core. Everything we touch takes our form. The optimist turns everything to an opportunity. The pessimist passes every opportunity to hit the obstacle. To change anything, you have to change ‘YOU’-for the ‘YOU’ you are at the core sets the boundaries for your world…BIG or small.
The amount of pressure your world exerts on your ’shoulders’ depends on the extent to which the negative attributes such as poor self image bad experiences are entrenched in your mind.
A few days ago, I posed a question to my friends to describe using a metaphor what life meant to them. The descriptions ranged from…it’s a school, a riddle, a race, an episode, a journey, a mystery, a story, an errand to…a rollercoaster! YOU set the epicenter around which YOUR world orbits, and the limits within which it can rotate. But the beauty of it is; YOU can do away with the limitations, YOU can shift the axis by evaluating YOURSELF and getting rid of limiting believes and self defeating attitudes. Since we cannot get away from ourselves, we should deal with ourselves, our past experiences and present situations…and so make a better world for us and those around us. Lets activate a healthy believe system. Believing first in ourselves then, deal with our attitudes and change our outlook on life. For we see things not the way they are, but the way we are.
Your world is your echo zone, a reflection of all you have given to it, the good and the bad…magnified. Shout ‘I’m insignificant’ and that’s how your world regards and treats you. Say the opposite and you get it back, pressed down, shaken together and…running over. I’m not talking about superficial phony confessions, but one proceeding from a conviction of the heart, from where all issues of life flow. To change your world, change your word. To change your word, change your heart…for as a man thinketh in his heart…so is he.
When you stop, your world stops.
When you make a move…
YOUR WORLD MOVES!
