Change the World

Commentary by Peter Shepherd

Change the World

“Out beyond ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” ~ Rumi

That’s a great place, leaving judgment behind. Let's go there!

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” ~ Buckminster Fuller

Every success story is a tale of constant adaptation, revision and change. A company that stands still will soon be forgotten.

“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.” ~ C. S. Lewis

Break out of that box, be true to yourself, go for it! If you want something you've never had you've got to do something you've never done.

Change the World

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” ~ Nelson Mandela

And it starts at home - first educate ourselves. As Jack Welch says, "Change before you have to." And Albert Einstein, who knew a thing or two... "The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking."

“Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have.” ~ Margaret Mead

These who care don't sit back and do nothing. Charles Darwin: “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” Evolution isn’t any chance, it’s created. Progress depends on each of us. Tim Cook explained, “Don’t just accept the world you inherit. Don’t just accept the status quo. No big challenge has ever been solved, and no lasting improvement has been achieved, unless people dare to try something different. Dare to think different. The great idea comes from a restless refusal to accept things as they are. The question we ask ourselves is not what can we do, but what should we do.”

The End of the Oil Era ~ by Ken MacLean

In this stage of human advancement, you have to look for subtle signs of the advancement of consciousness. But the Pope and Al Gore are apparently feeling a little better about talking about a brighter future for mankind that is not totally dependent on fossil fuels. And when the rest of us finally decide we'd like a better future than the nonsense we experience today, there will be no stopping us! Continues...
