“ Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself !! ”

 ~ Jalal ad-Din Rumi (Persian poet, Mystic)

Ah ! People say what is constant in our life is – ‘The Change’ !!

Changes have persisted since the moment a life takes shape into this world. The irony is we all tend to realize this when things have gone out of place – when circumstances (led by us or we led by the circumstances) bound us to this so-called “change”.. People expect you to behave or help them out the way they have been expecting or want out of you. In the end, when that doesn’t happen, the first thing you being quoted is with – ‘ Hey, you have changed ! ‘

Out of the psychological bound, that is so esoteric to be studied and concluded, let us look around the changes that create the ambiance around us. From the macroscopic level – the Zenith, the Sky, the Seasons and the like to the microscopic depth – the cells, the nucleus (Lots of Biology stuff involved here in !!) etc., the fact is everything undergoes and has to undergo a change. As such, change is inevitable.

A baby’s born. From the birth till the death, so much changes. The age, the learning, the goals, the ambitions, the desires, the needs – change is an effect that’s imposed upon them. It’s for a simple reason that change is the precursor of Evolution. Guess, we know how man evolved !! 😀

We have so much desires to change the world and lead the way out. Blah, blah.. But have we realized the need to bring a change in ourselves ?!

Changes pertaining to people, places, things etc are involuntary. But bringing changes within the self is a absolutely a voluntary action and that calls for the involvement of the Conscience and Morals.

Change, as is with any other, has it’s own note on positivity and negativity. It’s the perspective that adds weight to the priority.

Okay, after so much on this ‘change topic’, let me come to the nexus. What I feel and have realized in my 20K+ years of life, there’s a lot of ‘good’ change that needs to be brought about.

Starting with thyself, in the fast moving/pressurized/stressed/no-time-to-spare lifestyles, let us bring a change on perceptions and priorities in life. Instead of going crazy about the bad things in life and keep on sticking to them, let us come out of it and have a positive outlook. Destiny and human actions are the actors in the proceedings of life. Some things are bound to happen, we have no control. But what we can do is learn and evolve eventually. Stop worrying and be over-ambitious. Always be action-ready, tactful, wary and calm. There are worse things happening around us of which we are oblivious. We will not realize until we come out of the entanglements in the mindset and set outselves free to the world.

Moving on, instead of showing / speaking of much issues, let us be the initiators/contributors to those issues. Like, we all have been much into discussions about Water Scarcity, Pollution and the like. But have we taken any step on our part to contribute ? Bringing a change in ourselves shall perpetuate the change in the rest of the cycle.

Talking on the much noisy issue of the ‘Good’ and the ‘Bad’ in this world, it’s our actions / doings that are deterministic. Changing for the ‘good’ is always ‘good’.

But for a change to manifest, a careful observation is a necessity.

Hoping a small change to bring a bigger change that is useful in some way !!
