Be the Change no. 40

“Continuing to look for a political solution, a government solution, is to not understand change.”

Be the Change.

I have really tried to stop talking about, arguing about, and contemplating politics. For some reason, a lot of people like to still talk about politics and government. They still like to argue about politics and government. And they still like to think they have a politics and government solution. Those folks need to understand change. What good is any of this really going to do for your life? The answer is very little. BUT folks still go out and vote. Folks still go out and run for office. Folks still go out and protest. Folks still get riled up by the talking heads. Folks still keep feeding into the system. If you don’t feed it, if you don’t glorify it, if you don’t make excuses for it, then it will die. The political system, the government system, needs your participation to validate itself.

The system has you believing that your vote matters. The system has you believing you can change it. The system has you believing it cares about what you think. You can’t change the world without changing yourself first. And anyone involved in changing themself does not have time to worry about politics and government. A person involved in changing themself is busy enacting change.

So, that is why I don’t argue about the system anymore. That is why I joke about politics and government now. Because it is a joke. To take this whole system seriously is a mistake. Folks seriously believe that the label they support is going to be different than the other label are just foolish. The system does what the system does. You can’t change the system. You have to create a new system.

I am hoping these words fall on listening ears. Ears that no longer want to be worried about politics and government. Ears that want to hear the good news. And the good news is that you don’t need them. You do not need a man or a woman or a non-binary person to lead you. You don’t need to feed into a system that wants to make you angry and defensive. You don’t need a system that sees you as a commodity. You need to take care of yourself. You need to change yourself.

So, stop getting angry about the things you can not change and start working on you? You can change a lot that makes a real difference. You can get healthy. You can think better. You can find your purpose. You can live abundantly. And no one in politics or government wants you to do those things. There is no get healthy initiative in this country, there is only reactive medicine. There is no think better initiative in this country, there is only government education and standardized tests. There is no find your purpose initiative in this country, there is only get a job and work yourself to death for corporate and government greed. If you see what they are telling you, then you will understand what the system wants. It does not want you to be better. It does not want you to be great. It does not want you to change. It wants what is best for itself.
