Change

The only way to change
the world is
change yourself.

We are seduced by
cultural illusion that
change occurs by
grasping, obtaining.

Holding on creates,
not change, but baggage,
entrenchment, inflexibility.

If someone else tells you
what to give up, forces you
to give something up,
you’re not moving toward change;

but being controlled and/or enslaved.
Only way to change yourself:
voluntarily relinquish

what you value to
someone or something else.
It’s a beautiful, scary cycle.
Do you dare?
