Transitional period…
We are living in a transitional period where everything is changing in front of our eyes and yet we are stuck in one place because we are afraid of change. It has always been a mans’ weakest characteristic to be afraid of change and to choose the norm than to dive into the world of the unknown, since we fear so much that which we do not know. Fear has always misguided and lead mankind to doomsday in this life but still we fail to learn from our past mistakes.
A transitional period means a time of change where everything will be unusual, and the future will not resemble the past. What we take with us into the future is the knowledge, memories and wisdom which can help us to master the winds of change and steer us away from harm when this new phase is beginning to settle in our minds. This period has already started but we fail to see that the ball is in our court now, and we need to act now and make things happen in order to save the future generations and the world at large. There are certain things in life that we cannot stop from changing but still we cling to the past with our clenched teeth, hoping the wheels of change will suddenly stop and take us back to the way things used to be. Nothing will ever remain the same in this world we live in and this is because of the fact that the earth rotates on its’ axis and we are evolving with times at it does.
Change is never easy but to accept it and embrace it is a battle half won and a victory to those who have seen the light. The rest of the fight will be to maintain the momentum and keep the fire burning…
Change has taken place in so many spheres of our lives in these past years and we have managed to accept this and move on regardless… It is time now we take a look inside our minds and see what we need to change in order to adjust and move forward into the future that lays before us all... Now is the time to see with our ears and listen with our eyes.
Yes, now its the time to do what has never been done before. A time to bring about a change in our lives that can see us through this new phase of life which seems to upset the norms. Nothing is the same as before so why must we keep on using the old methods in sorting out new kinds of problems.
We need to learn from what we have been told and then take only that which seeks to strengthen us but make sure to discard the things that have lost meaning and value.
In as much as change is frightening, it is also in evitable...so let us go ahead and accept that things are changing right in front of our eyes and if we do not take this opportunity to adapt we might end up hopeless and lost forever...
Walt Witman said, "Re- examine all you have been told and Dismiss what insults your soul."
I never met him but I strongly agree with him because most of the time we are afraid to bring about the change we want to see in the world, with the fear of being ridiculed and outcast by societal norms.
I am reading a lot about people who came up with inventions in the past and I realise that most of us are tired of discovering things or we are just lazy, such that we lay back and use what have been discovered before instead of searching to keep finding the mysteries that this life has in store for us all...
This transitional period is upon us, so we need to be aware of it and not get stuck in the ways that take us back instead of moving us forward. We have spent a lot of time learning and grasping a lot of information in the past, now is the time to start using that information and be inventive in our own ways.
Dictatorship has ceased, leadership must prevail in all our lives.
Listen to your innerself and ask for wisdom...
