I listened Rob Bell in a podcast yesterday, speak about the way things change.
Someone has to be the one to stick their necks out first.
Somebody has to be the ones to change the patterns, break the cycles and leave what we have always known, agreed with, and accepted behind.
And, we are all on our own journey of awareness.
Things don't just change automatically, someone has to be willing to do things differently even at the cost of rejection and ridicule. To not do things as we have always done, to step out of the boundaries and dare be different.
If you listen to the podcast below, he will more eloquently speak of how we are all doing the best we can. Some of us, our destiny is to be the front runners and a part of us would die, if we didn't follow our inner knowing.
I am pretty sure I have spoken out, have stood up etc, but I am not so certain I have been humble and patient and in my enthusiasm or desire to inform, have turned people away.
I am very sorry for that.
We are not given a rule book to follow, as we step out beyond where others have trod.
We don't know the correct protocol for being change makers.
Those of us who are victims looking to change the legacy feel the immediacy of what needs to be changed. In fear, we often want to move things along at a quicker pace.
I am astounded at times, that it has been a long 13 years, and the changes I have seen appear to be so tiny, a bare perceivable movement.
He speaks of letting others know when you see others move.
I will now be looking for that.
This podcast was a great reminder to how change happens and how it does move slow and person by person. Something within them will suddenly see, hear and feel that "something" isn't right.
It is then, that they will start to seek a new way to do old things.
Again, my deepest apologies for offending others. I now know to look for change and to be a brighter change.
