Changing the World is like Eating an Elephant

     Both sound like an impossible task.  So how do you eat an elephant, simple one bite at a time? How do you change the world, a little bit at a time? You first change yourself then the way you treat others.  You start small and eventually you efforts may change others.  It works like the domino effect, expanding and multiplying when others take up the challenge.

     It's like a snowball rolling down the hill, picking up speed and growing larger with each revolution.  It all comes down to science and persistence.  The world can change in a positive or negative way.  Negativity is just as powerful as positivity but it seems like it's fueled by fear, greed, etc. basically a negative approach to life.  It appears that some people feel entitled and in an effort to support this entitlement they justify any action to get what they want.

     I know in science we are told that two negatives make positive but that is not true in the rest of life.  I think we can all agree that the violent death of someone is tragic especially for the family.  The thing is there are many tragic events happening to people around this world, now and in the past.

     As individuals how we react to a tragedy is a defining factor on how we will recover and move ahead.  Negative actions generally bring about negative results.  I'm not suggesting that the tragedy be ignored but that it be a catalyst for positive change, burning buildings and destroying communities does not bring positive change.

     It's right to honor and learn from the past but living in the past will cloud your mind and attitude.  It seems many today many people are living in the past siting injustice from the past as reason for there actions of today.  Atrocities of the past are just that in the past, don't forget them but don't use them in a negative way.  There is no nationality or religion that has been mistreated more than the Jewish people during WWII but their positive recovery without negativity explains their progress.  They haven't forgotten their roots or history but they have moved forward in a positive fashion. Yet, there are others that are living their lives as if they were the ones mistreated during the historical past.

     Let's take a bite out of that elephant in a positive way and change the world one day at a time.  "Just Saying..."
