Change

"Because God will never change the grace which He has bestowed on  people until they change what is in their (own) souls: and verily God is He Who hears and knows (all things)." 8:53

When the sign is clear and evident and when the veil has been lifted from our eyes, and when the truth appears - we are scared and consequently defensive. Why do we persist in doing things that we know are not good for us? Evil latches onto each of us like a leech, and evil is persistent and hard to let go of. Though, we can still see the good in evil, can't we? I mean how is "X" all that bad? Everyone else does this (that and the other). Its part of our system, we can't let go. "Can't" or "Won't"?

When we live in a society, that functions under certain rules: whats in/trendy and what isn't and what is moral and what isn't.  Some of us have completely left this authoritative structure and decided to be as far from the system as possible, and identify our selves to be individualistic, rebellious and master of our own worlds.

At times we see the world, evil, disgusting and lost. Lets not tarnish the world's portrait in one hastily stroke of a brush, lets see what we can make of this world.

So truly with every difficulty, there is relief (94:5)

If you see something wrong in this world, why look at what the response of other is to the situation? What if we all thought like that? Take action, take change. If there is something bothering you, find solutions that will best solve the problem. You may not come up with a prefect solution every time, but any solution will help break down the problem into smaller parts. Take the first step, don't wait for someone else to do it when in your heart and mind know you are doing whats right - before its too late. For lateness can be a second away.

I have recently had to take some important decisions in my life, that will undoubtedly help me. Though I have experienced that change isn't pretty, if you make drastic change in your approach to life, your friends and family (understandbly and caringly) will be taken aback by your change. This is only the first hurdle, to achieve happiness you have to work at it - nothing in life is given to you on a plate, you work for it and you feel better once you earn that respect/recognition/object on your own.

Remember that society has its own moral outlook, each individual has their own unique outlook, we are all victims of judgement and are corrected or pointed at through are lives. So when is change viable?

For me, when you are enlightened and have been gifted with knowledge and understanding, that maybe others may not fully recognise and as long as that change devops you spiritually or healthily, make the change. Whether the change may be as tiny as not using certain object/products or whether it be something big as going green and living an environmental friendly life.

Change is necessary in human development. Situations change, needs change and our environments change - as long as your vision isn't altered but rather - enhanced, have the guts to do it. For change is much misconcieved nowadays. So don't expect people to change, rather explain to them your reason for your own personal change so that hopefully your personal change becomes an inspiration, even at its lowest of lowest degree - we make a difference.
