Are you more connected to your soul or your body&#8217;s own selfish desires?<\/p>\n<p>We see the violence and negativity around us, because we live in a world that gives emphasis on physical pleasures &#8211; we sanctify the body and the material world.<\/p>\n<p>We are exposed to a media that is effectively urging us to achieve more, to compete with each other, and to buy things we do not really need.<\/p>\n<p>We do not give enough consideration to our spirituality &#8211; the real part of us. As a result, we move away from our true essence &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>If we give our soul the proper place in our lives, our inner strength will grow as individuals, which will equally enhance spirituality and the positive force in the entire world.<\/p>\n<p>As we cultivate our soul, the outside world will become more positive and supportive.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that we do not fully understand that we as individuals can make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>Destruction begins with us, and not with the world around us, as it is commonly thought.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if each of us would wait for someone else to clear waste, or pick up a plastic bottle casually thrown on the sidewalk, what would our world look like? a big mountain of garbage?<\/p>\n<p>When we as individuals behave as if only we exist &#8211; first me and then you &#8211; we do not contribute positivity and wholeness, not for ourselves, and certainly not for the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, we must come to realize that you can not eliminate darkness with darkness &#8211; you must turn on the light!<\/p>\n<p>That is, to wake up to the deep understanding of the importance of nurturing the soul within us &#8211; it will add value to our lives as well as increase and empower goodness in the world.<\/p>\n<p>You can not be on hold until others wake up. You can not teach them or tell them what to do.You can not force them &#8211; no one likes being told how their lives should be conducted.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to make a difference in the lives of others is by giving a personal example.<\/p>\n<p>So instead of saying, well what can I do, that&#8217;s life &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself, what can I do to change the world?<\/p>\n<p>Take the initiative to contribute positively to the world as much as you can &#8211; every bit helps, every drop creates similar drops: love, positivity and giving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What can I do as an individual to change the world?
