I AM A WORLD CHANGER

Communication changes people by educating them; allowing them to exchange feelings and ideas
with others; making possible arguments and reconciliations; and in many other ways. One of the
ways society does this is through labeling. It feeds through your fear of society’s criticism.  A sticker
to mark whether you belong or not. If you are a part of this society, you are a walking example of its
checklist some part of you accepted, some part broken, rejected.  That beats you, building and
rebuilding you, etching out its own form of you. Its own little version of you.
See yourself outside yourself. Imagine you are a sculptor. A sculptor looks at his or her
piece of stone and endlessly questions new ways to shape it. And if he or she thinks of something
to change, there is no emotional attachment. They just do it. This is how you need to see
yourself--as a work of art, always in progress. No need to get upset, or come down hard on
yourself when you see something you do not like. Instead, like an artist, just get to work. Change
is not something you do some days and then take a break from other days. Change is a shift in
lifestyle. It requires daily dedication, to the point where that new habit takes the place of an old one
and no longer requires conscious effort. You can't just wake up one morning and say, "I'm not
going to be impatient anymore!" Yes, you are. And you actually help yourself by acknowledging
that a bad habit like that won't be solved immediately. Instead, set the goal to be more patient
during your team meeting that happens every morning. Use that as an isolated practice space and
subconscious reminder of what it is you want to practice. Focus on that for a few weeks, and then
go from there.
