Something That Could Change The World
When I go out into the world, I feel something insidious. I smell it wafting through the air. And then I see it. I hear it. Just where it originates from I’m not sure, but the effects are evident everywhere.
Sick people who have been told they are simply getting older and there’s nothing they can do about it. It’s just their genetic lot in life they’re told.
Minorities being told they are victims and the deck is stacked against them, so why even try? Just vote for the politician giving out free stuff.
Young girls using smart phones and social media to get attention and validation from perfect strangers they’ll never meet. Glued to their screens walking down the street and missing all that’s actually going on around them.
People who believe the government, or their doctor, or a deity, or some famous person somewhere will solve all of their problems. A mindset that looks externally to others as the source of both problems and solutions. A blindness to the inner strength we all have the potential to possess and wield.
So many people have more strength and well being inside than they have ever experienced or even considered. Mental strength, emotional strength, physical strength. It’s all intertwined. There will always be variations and levels since we’re all different, but we could stand to move the middle of the bell curve forward quite a lot.
I want to see more strong people every day when I walk out the door. More people who can not only help themselves, but those around them. People who are wise to the lie that they are simply victims of fate. And who therefore won’t be manipulated into handing over their personal power. People who can see and sense their own worth without being told by someone else.
If we are all part of a society, then the more strong individuals there are the stronger society will be. It’s simple arithmetic. 4 + 4 is greater than 2 + 2. And it’s a beneficial feedback loop. There won’t be reason to focus on which group in society is more privileged than another because we’ll all be strong individuals, judged on our merit.
But there is so much knowledge that has to be spread for this to happen. And so much bullshit that has to be overcome and stripped away. Not to mention a massive amount of momentum moving in the wrong direction.
And the only way to do it is for more people to show the way. Others have to see you striving and shining first, and then they’ll want to understand the secret. People usually don’t make major changes when someone else tries to force them to.
You often have to plant a small seed and wait for them to come to you. They come to you because they sense something in you. See something in you.
So let’s make a deal. You show someone the way through example, and I will too. Because I know there are strong people like you out there as well. And perhaps in time we’ll begin to have a world full of people getting stronger. I don’t care if that might be a pipe dream because it’s the simplest and most effective way to a better world.
