Change for better

My life is very ordinary. So is yours and so is yours. We were never celebrities, we perhaps will never be. We have in no way made a difference to the world and will perhaps have nothing to do with improving the political issues that envelope us. We are ordinary citizens who know not what it would be like to run a country or stand in an election against a ruthless party of comedians. Neither of us have the support of a 106 year old lady who invested her time and energy voting for Barack who she believed would make a difference to the world.

Yet, we are human. And every morning that I wake I feel the sweetness in my heart to make a difference. Not being able to make a difference does not mean we don’t want to. And who said we can’t? By difference, I do not mean finding a cure to a big bad disease or being associated to the likes of Prince Harry. Making a difference to one’s own self could feel equally special. And if each one of us improves one thing or another in each of our lives, we are all collectively headed to change the world for better.

I suggest putting aside the magazines and tabloids for a while - following the lives of Britney Spears or Madonna will not make us live our lives any better. In fact, it only prevents us from regarding ourselves as individuals with importance of any sort.

The truth is that each individual who actively aims to better himself is indeed at a high ranking level of importance. Realizing your need for change is the first step to personal growth. Until then, you will lead your life the same way you did the day before that. Your life before change could be comfortably simple and you may not feel the need to tamper with a smooth sailing ship. Yet, we all understand that no one is perfect and by improving little by little in the course of our lives, we are at least nearing towards perfection.
