I change,
you change and they change
The last few
weeks, let’s rather say MONTH, have been a true roller coaster of learning,
growing, swimming (some days only floating) and letting go on the wave of life.
My journey!
It was
incredible … NO – Wonderful, bitter sweet, painfully beautiful!
All the changes I always wanted in my life, have been manifested and it took me a lot of few moments to see. Changes I wanted to implement and just to BE happy.
All the changes I always wanted in my life, have been manifested and it took me a lot of few moments to see. Changes I wanted to implement and just to BE happy.
On this road of change, I stumbled upon new ideas, life styles and people and different
believes. A diverse spectrum of creation itself is happening.
What gotten me thinking the most lately is, the various systems we living in.
We all know that these systems are opted out for WANTS – NOW and becoming a slave to money. Society is addicted to all of this. We have been bread towards such a behavior for decades if not centuries. And are now over all surprised, when we look at our children and find the first wake up call and seeing what has happened (so I hope). Like a fine web this structure has been build throughout our lives.
For example, all these in store cards of major retail chains, targeting the masses with the slogan:” you cannot afford to buy, get a card and pay off. “
Now look into your purse and tell me how many cards of these do you have? How many credit cards?
Even with this so called world recession going on, have the banks and retail chains stopped marketing for the masses and underpaid to make these cards attractive?

NO! On the
contrary, have heard an advert the other day: get your car on credit approval
and drive TODAY – start paying in January!
Lord help me here! January? The worst month of the whole year!!!!

Now that we realizing
how enslaved we are, we are more than willing to make changes in this respect.
I remember how for several weeks and month the big financial markets have been occupied. Wonderful how so many people pulled together and showed the support.
BUT – actually it starts at home. Like with everything,

We as
society need to change our way of living and perceiving. Our own values, and
the world’s values. We need to stop allowing media and cooperates to tell us
who we are and why we are and how we are.
This permanent pressure of should and should not. Compromising, true living of ones own life, love and all that is.
Children growing up in a society, where parents both work full time and true love and attention gets replaced with a I-Phone, Wii and more worldly goods. Yes of course this is what kids see and want, as it is shown where ever they go.

Sure this is
how life is happening today. But can it be changed?
Easy! hehe
Define what your true needs are, everything beyond that, is a want. Then define, if you truly want it now or it can wait (or you just want to have it now to keep up with the Jonses).
Our world society is thriving on making us wanting everything - NOW.

YES, it is
rough and yes it is a HUGE transition.
But start reducing those in store cards and credit cards (yes yes I know, you cannot purchase a house or car if your do not have a credit record, well better non than a crap one). Do not give your hard earned money away for silly interest, on clothes you still paying off, which are already last season.
We all need to eat and live. But how is the question. Scale down to the YOU, you are. Those who will not understand, do truly not matter.
YOU need to sleep peacefully at night and not worrying how you will pay rent on an eight room mansion (where you only occupy two of them).

Remember the
old days, when we girls gotten irons, bedding etc for our birthdays? Oh I so
hated it! And yet I was grateful that I had it at the end.
Remember, when we saved money to buy our first bicycle or new clothes?
We do not need to have it all - TODAY! This is where we give our financial power to the banks and corporate.

What we need
today is, to remember that things are not people. Things, will not give us love
and things will definitely not change the world.
YOU CAN!
For me? I will pay off my Woolworths in store card and close the account.
My motto from now on is: if I cannot afford it now, I do not need it.
