If You Could Just Change This One Person, You Could Change The World

Pace Smith from Freak Revolution shares a thought provoking post.
Enjoy!
Do you ever feel guilty about reading self-help books or blogs when there are people starving elsewhere in the world? Do you ever feel like global tragedy dwarfs your personal tragedy? Do you ever feel small or insignificant, wishing you could make a difference but overwhelmed with the vastness of it all?
This post is for you.
Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” He didn’t mean that if you want to create world peace, become a peace activist. He meant that if you want to create world peace, you must first find peace in your own heart. How many angry peace activists have you seen? I’ve met a couple. They march in protest rallies, carrying anti-war signs and railing against the government. I believe (and I think Gandhi would agree) that they’re going about it the wrong way. The path to peace doesn’t wend through anger or violence. The path to peace begins inside yourself.
People who try to change the world without first changing themselves burn out, instigate infighting, or otherwise undermine the goal they’re trying to achieve.
People who heal themselves before healing the world radiate empowerment, possess quiet determination, and have the peace of mind necessary to turn big dreams into reality.
Changing yourself, creating the life you want to life, is a revolutionary act. People aren’t inspired by hypocrisy. People are inspired by those who practice what they preach. Choosing to live a happy and empowered life will show others that they can choose the same for themselves. Living your own best life and sharing your joy with others will inspire those around you to seek it for themselves. There are billions of people out there who would be looking for something better if they only believed that something better were possible.
They’re waiting for you to show them.

You Can Experience a Truly Great Life

“The 5 Keys” is a brand-new book by Dr. Jerry White and Dr. Tomi Bryan – a brother and sister team with a combined background in Education, Systems Thinking, Law, and Organizational Management.That may seem an odd combination of influences to draw ob but it’s what makes this book – and the system they reveal – very different from all the rest.
What Jerry and Tomi have found is that most self-improvement “systems” out there share the same basic flaw: They totally ignore SYSTEMS!
In my opinion, nothing occurs because of only one thing. Behind every internal process, behavior, and action, there is a system at work. When you ignore these systems, you eliminate any real hope of permanently affecting either the world around you, or your own responses to it.
When you UNDERSTAND these underlying systems, you suddenly have the power to alter your responses … which in turn can change EVERYTHING about your life, and lead to achieving the dreams you may have been putting on the back-burner.
The 5 Keys To The Great Life is for anyone who has ever asked themselves: “Is this REALLY all there is to my life – is THIS as great as it gets?”
Don’t miss out on your chance to grab the book at a terrific introductory price … along with loads of great gifts set aside for you.

Getting Your Groove Back eBook - A Review
by Shann on Feb.16, 2010, under Reinventing Yourself
Getting Your Groove Back eBook
Overview: An inspiring collection of articles, poetry and life balance tips to help you get your groove back. Last Sunday I sat down and read this inspiring little ebook in one hit. I have a backlog of books to review and quickly get tired of watching text slide across my laptop screen but Getting Your Groove Back grabbed my attention and held it from start to finish. There’s no fluff here, this is a concise guide born of a sassy blend of experience and conviction that carries you through a journey in four parts: gratitude, self care, life balance and transitions.
It’s apparent from the start that Shann is a lady who walks her talk. She doesn’t write what she doesn’t do. This makes Getting Your Groove Back very compelling because you know you’re reading the words of someone who’s crafted her own life changes and is more than capable of helping you do the same. Here you will find both pithy advice and prompts to put pen to paper and clarify your thoughts, it’s punchy, personal, and passionate and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you’re looking to move your life in a new direction I recommend you read Getting Your Groove Back today.
