You Can’t Change the World But You Can Change Yourself

People all want to change the world with physical force or emotion. There are very few people willing to change themselves to change the world. The world never functions through your own will. You either become prostitutes (slaves) of the material world or you become masters. You don’t live for others but live for self. The quality of your Yuan Shen sets the measurement for how to see the world. A stronger Yuan Shen gets you to enjoy the world more than the ordinary people. The material world only disturbs the stillness of your Yuan Shen. We can learn to stay in stillness to face uncertainty. We can learn not to take any disturbance from the outside world. Although a pebble may ripple the surface of the water, know that the pond is unfathomably deep. Calm your mind and intent, balance and harmonize the Xing and Ming. Stay focused on the purpose of your life. Detach from the need of the self. Accept and be loyal to the true self and then you will change the world around you forever.

Every person maintains their own destiny, yet it is a unique journey. How they participate, come and go is a unique journey. Never judge nor interfere with another person’s journey. You can be a facilitator and an example, but you can’t be an enforcer for another person’s journey. Each person has their own unique journey to decipher for them self. You can only be a one hundred percent compassionate facilitator in their journey, thereby, turning the wheel to “myself” as to how “I” can be the best facilitator to their unique journey. When each person’s journey finishes they go on to the next journey. You need to learn to let go of people in your life so that you allow them to move on and also, so that you can move on. Let your loved ones finish their journey without the burden of you holding onto them. The world will never dance for you. It has its own rhythm. Can you change the world one iota with your will? No! You can only impact on it. If you can change your world, then the world changes; you must begin with the self. The world will always follow its own way. Change yourself and the world changes.

Find the master within. Don’t assume that you are enlightened to master others! Be the master of your own. Be a personal guide through example but not a teacher. Walk the talk. Ask yourself how you can help. To introduce the tasty apple to others you have to first taste it yourself. Design a program to help another person. “I can do it. I am the master of my own.” Never limit your potential. Dream Big! Don’t limit the creativity of your dream. Continue to be your dream. Be the dream weaver of Tao. When the lion king is absent then the monkey becomes the master. The true master makes masters. You can be a master of your own. You can’t run away from your own devil.

Change yourself and the world will change with you - eventually. This is only the best advice we can all follow. What we need now is for governments to play by the same rules.

Great article - I love this site.
Thanks
