Change // Look in their Eyes.
When injustice happens and you aren’t the one that the injustice happened against there are two words that I have learned that need to be said. They are, “I’m sorry.” It doesn’t matter if you are the one who chased down a man out for a run or held your knee on someone else’s throat. You don’t have to have committed the injustice to be sorry that it has happened.
Change - Act on what you Believe
How many of us have been seriously wounded by a person and struggle to have true friendship with people? Or maybe an institution has been unjust, exploited or abused you? Can each of us think of leaders that have led poorly and people have been left in the rubble? I know I can. These painful experiences can cause us to act differently. They perpetuate skepticism and cynicism. We can become critics instead of supporters. Essentially we have bruises on our proverbial backsides from where whatever we trusted in collapsed under us.
Change / Passion is Necessary
Do you ever feel like you need to tone yourself down? Like you are too much? Maybe those parts of you are the exact parts that need to be shared with the world.
