Change... ( I wrote this and never published it last week) Part I

After a few edits... This is what I came up with...
It is inevitable in life that we desire & deserve change ! It is the desires of every human being to desire change. Yet, there are quite a few of us who desire to do the changing. Few who desire to do the work or the actions required to make change manifest in their life.   Few that make it a conscious effort to EFFECT that change. 
It takes a lot of work! A lot of action! A lot of time!  Even giving ourselves TIME to meditate or pray takes willingness of TIME.  Journals is another way....telling our story (from a healing perspective, not a blaming perspective, or woe is me attitude) is another way.  CHANGE takes COURAGE.. CHANGE takes a HUMBLE spirit. 
The problem when we desire change is that we usually demand that change to be in someone or something else. We don't look at ourselves and demand change of ourselves. We think that it is the 'RESPONSIBILITY' of others in our circles to change. Whether that be family circle, community circle, or a world circle. WE BELIEVE it is everyone else's responsibility.
When we realize that change does only work in opposition of that mentality then we will truly feel BLESSED with the affect of change.
Ghandi said it best... "Be the change you wish to see in this world."
And why is that so effective?
It is so effective, because for so many reasons and barriers (real ones or perceived ones) people are hesitant to change... People may lack humbleness, courage, speech, faith, etc... Many things can BLOCK someone from CHANGING... BUT if they see that one... That one that has overcome fear, the one that has overcome rejection, the one that has overcome bigotry, hatred, pain, etc.... When they see that ONE change... Then and only then may they be SPARKED to CHANGE themselves. 
Anyone of us could BE that ONE--- We must transform our perspective because you could BE that ONE!
Taking the FIRST STEP! HOW TO KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE? 
We are all mirrors to one another --usually what you want CHANGED in another person is really what you need to CHANGED about yourself.
Yet here's what WE do... We go about with venom, anger, living in a world of deception that
#1 someone else must change in order for you to be happy
#2 for you to love them they must change
#3 for you to care for them, they must change
#4 for you to treat them right, they must change
#5 for them to be worthy, they must change
#6 for them to stop frustrating you, they must change
#7 for your life to be in bliss, they must change
#8 for your life to work out (together), they must change
#9 for the partnership to grow, they must change 
#10 for your sanity, they must change ... etc etc.
Your venom will kill you and the other person whom you are trying not just to change, but to CONTROL!... This has and will  always defeat the purpose of all them wonderful things that you claim you desire. Which most likely falls into any variations of the Fruits of the SPIRIT...Peace, Love, Harmony, Tranquility, Goodness, Self-Control, Justice, Loyalty, Freedom, Patience, Mildness, Kindness, Trust, Truth, and most of all Non-Judgement.
WE all have (thankfully so-- a gift from the CREATOR) FREE WILL.With that also comes self will... Which we are seldom taught about for various reasons. The beauty of self will is to allow others to be whom they are and to embrace whom they are.
At best all we can do is send peace, love, and light when they are in character (wearing mask) other then what the CREATOR of the WORLDS intended for them to be. IF they happen not to be or come from Great Source, you must still send Peace, Love, and Light to them. Just like day overshadows night and night the day... So must we BE! ... Nothing can kill darkness but the light of Great Source (and interestingly enough WE ALL have that gift). You have had experiences when you or someone else enters a room, and the rooms energy literally lightens up... Spiritually and Emotionally... And you Change the environment without ever even knowing what was going on before you got there.
Change is manifested WHEN you decide to CHANGE how you RESPOND -- whether it be *internally, mentally, physically, emotionally, & spiritually.  *Internally meaning controlling your thoughts & feelings primarily.
Eventually practicing a few princples like meditation, like law of attraction, like consciously redirecting thoughts (that may have been controlling in nature)  and response (that used to be REACTIONS)  others will see the CHANGE. in you and inevitably will change as well because your LIGHT (enlightment) has shined! Your TRUE SELF has manifested!  The Light of the Great Source overcomes ALL obstacles... and relationships CHANGE for the Better!
Challenge yourself today! Pick out one thing that you have been struggling to get someone else to change... Then get up and change it yourself. Example: Clearing a cluttered shelf or a,cluttered mind, or negative thoughts? Negative words? Then describe how you feels/felt when it was completed-- When you did it yourself?
