CHANGE OR BE CHANGED!

What do you want to change about yourself, home, neighbourhood, community, state or country? How do you want to go about it? Can you do it alone or do you need to enlist others to help you do it? These are questions that you must ask yourself and those around you. How you convince yourself or those who you believe can help you is Paramount. The language and creativity you employ in so doing must be something you and others must believe in at the individual and team levels. The answers will decide for you and subsequently change you for the better or for worse. For the better in the event that you come up with answers and the equivalent in actions, and for the worse, if these questions mean nothing to you and keep you inactive. 

Everyday brings us face-to-face with situations that are our doing or undoing. Many times we are exposed to conditions that put us at risk. These conditions are not exclusive to the physical, psychological or environmental. They often arise from the social, economic and political atmosphere that we find ourselves. Regardless of how they come about, what we decide to do or not do about them will change us or we will change them. Remember the popular saying: "Change begins with you." So change your mindset before you can attempt to change others and the situations that affect you.

Through our networks, family/friends, in our travels and the platforms we are part of, we are constantly exposed to events and experiences that make life a struggle that yields results with positive and negative effects on life; our lives. We can choose how to begin to change things. It could be via family meetings, the social media, village gatherings, social/peer groups. The idea is to start at the level you are, genty and first, then vigorously as time and the impact you create allows you.
