Guest guest Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 START BEING WHO YOU ARE http://worldgathering.net/2010/news296.html --- HOW ARE WE GOING TO GO FASTER? What are you going to do to go faster... that is different... which will achieve NEW results? I have a suggestion: END CO-DEPENDENCY. We have friends (off the Net.. in everyday life) who we don't want to stir up too much... because we are (we think!) dependent on them. So we don't say too much to them. Say.... there are ten million people in the world who are putting most of their efforts for changing the world INTO THE INTERNET. But, on the Net we are mostly meeting people who feel like us ... we are meeting the rest of the ten million. Each of us - roughly - has ten friends in everyday life. With us, that's 110 MILLION PEOPLE. Out of 110 million people - our social circle - 100 million people are doing nothing / they don't know what's going on / they are waiting. Instead of us ten million 'activists' just talking to ourselves on the Net, and creating small change by finding a few new people, how about us changing the everyday world by indicating to our sleepy and frustrated friends it's time for them to get involved? If we don't do that - if we don't communicate properly to the people we meet face-to-face - we are in effect living a lie. A man came into my place yesterday talking the same old stuff... complaining about things which are not important (his way of showing he's not happy). I faced him with the world situation. He threw up a few more avoidance-of-reality manoeuvres. I persisted. Part of me said: 'Don't hurt this person, Michael - they are just lost'. I carried on talking about what is important in the world, and how change is happening right now on a huge scale. I was gentle, but strong. He left here as a new person. His whole manner was different when he left. This is my new policy. I couldn't do it before because I couldn't see the problem. Now I can see the problem, I feel I can start to do it... bit by bit... one person at a time. If ten million join in this effort, it could be an important thing to 'make the difference'. This could be called: 'The Global, Standing Up Straight, Human Domino Effect'. If we don't do it, we are living a lie. We are either part of the problem, or part of the solution: " We must do what we conceive to be the right thing and not bother our heads or burden our souls with whether we will be successful. Because if we don't do the right thing, we will be doing the wrong thing and we will just be a part of the disease and not part of the cure. " ~ E. F. Schumacher END co-dependency, and START being YOU. --- Perhaps these numbers could be increased tenfold. Perhaps there are a hundred million people who are acting to help the world, and our network of friends and close contacts extends out to include a total of one billion people. Influencing one billion people in a vital, new way is very quickly going to begin changing the entire world.
