YES, WE CAN(‘T)!
To a thirsty man in the desert, a gallon of water is more appealing than a bar of solid gold.
That same bar of gold to that same man next to a free flowing river is more appealing than that gallon of water. No?
Our personal need and priorities generate the level of our compromises and or sacrifices.
To accept, say or believe we can’t change or control things is an excuse to pacify a lack of self diciplin, accountability and responsibility.
There’s facts in the belief that we may not be able to change or control things but the truth in our ability to make change within ourselves creates changes and control for most things- as we are given dominion over “all “things”.”
To invest in a good time is always easier than investing in a good thing as our needs and priorities are catered to from our abundant stash of conveniences and not necessarily our rare ability of self evaluation and or discipline.
“ONE MAN’S TRASH IS ANOTHER MAN’S TREASURE.”
It may not be wise to measure “things” or circumstance the same as we measure ourselves or people, as those values differ greatly.
There is a reflection of ourselves in other people and if there’s Any good in Any one, discovering and capitalizing on that good may require focusing on and consideration of change within one’s self.
For the record, there is good in Everyone.
-Challenges are designed to generate strength or discover weakness.
Adversity is not an opportunity to find fault or blame in others but to investigate opportunities to expand within ourselves.
(Easy is not always good and best, and difficult is not always bad and worse.) However, if we measure easy and difficult based primarily on feelings, it is likely to inaccurately assess truth or reality.
No, we can’t change “things” but we can change the meaning and value we place on most circumstances and or things.
On the other hand, “people usually change for two reasons.
Either they have learned a lot or they have been hurt a lot.”
Whether we believe or accept hope in things or people, EVERYTHING is designed to change and we do have the ability, responsibility and or accountability to impact change in all things and in all people.
A simple, kind greeting or an unkind gesture is equally impactful to most people, things and circumstances.
To that end, to “be the change we want to see” will never be as difficult as, avoiding the changes we may need to face.
