Ultimate Life Style Change



I have been blogging now for the better part of a year or two, sometimes stopping and other times blogging furiously several times a day. This blog was created from the point of view that people need to change the way they live in order to save the world we live in. Some people say these changes will never take place whilst other people are already practicing these changes 'that will never happen'.

Here are the changes that I would like to see happen in our world and that I believe is possible if everyone would just let go of themselves for a little while and realise there is a greater picture:

- Our world needs peace. War devastates people as much as countries and it leaves devastation for those that are not even aware of the reasons for the fight. Peace ripples every time you use it, so practice peace as much as you can towards everyone that you meet. It does not mean that you allow people to trample you. It does however mean that people get treated with respect even if you disagree, that all people are allowed their beliefs as long as they harm none and that everyone is given an equal opportunity.

- Our world needs respect. It is our home after all and we have been dumping all our garbage without any concern for her care. Now we are faced with a dilemma and unless we step up, face the problem and take responsibility, doing the little we can to help out and teaching our kids the same.

- Our world needs love. We have lost the human ability to show love to those that need it and to speak up for them that have no voice. We ignore the problems of the world thinking that they will go away or that they are not applicable. All problem eventually find their way to everyone. Lend a helping hand when you see or hear of it being needed somewhere, give a hug or comfort and share what you can.

These are 3 simple things that would change our world forever, yet we all cling to the idea that to change our world would be to change our lifestyle and give up our comfort.

All that is required for these 3 steps to work is for each person to take their mind of autopilot and set it into conscious thinking mode. Be aware of those around you. Be aware of what you can give. Be aware of what you take. Be aware of what you return. Be aware.
