Making the world a better place…

  Actually that’s what it’s all about. We all have the potentiality to make the world a better place. It is up to us to walk in this. But first you have to believe you can make the world a better place and then you have to seize your moment to act on your part when it presents itself.

  We all have a part, a place but we have to believe this. Without a belief that we can make a difference, we will never act on our possibility. It always is our acceptance or rejection that will determine the possibility of making a difference. Then again… maybe all this begins with a definition of ‘making the world a better place’.

  The obvious place to start with a definition is to consider and analyze the world we live in. What are the issues your world is facing, or are they ignoring? What is available to resolve them? What kind of difference could you make in this? Remember that not every issue is one you should place your time and energy on – but what one(s) are yours?

  Next we need to be aware of our style of making… better place. If we have an altruistic approach to making...better place then our definition will tend to exemplify this. The problem comes when our style of behavior isn’t appreciated or even wanted. Now we have to contend with a new set of dynamics. The problem is that either a like or dislike reaction can spark a despotic behavior which is totally counter-productive. What we need to do is look at our motives – why are we doing what we do.

  And these are only some of the obvious issues we deal with in determining HOW we can go about making the world a better place. Desire is important as is ability but entry into being able to impact is probably the most important issue to resolve. You can have all the desire… do you have the entry? You can have enormous ability… do you have the entry? And if you don’t have entry – what can, or will, you do?

  However, in the midst of all this is the knowing that in small ways and more obvious ones, each of us has the option to make a difference in our world. We choose to make our world better or we walk away in an attempt at isolation because we can't plead ignorance.
