How large changes are made


Your intention indirectly affects what you do. But a lot of us underestimate it, it seems easy to change your intent and it is. But that is only the case with small changes in your intent, which only affect your actions for the smallest part. If you want to change your intents to such an extent that they actually make you like a monster doing everything you want, that does not work. Because you actually have to change yourself and you do not want to be a monster. 
 
How big changes in this world are made
Changes are made through some sort of power. It might be true knowledge that make the change because everyone must agree with true knowledge, though I have never heard of such a thing for cultures make this impossible. But most changes are made through sheer force of will. The combined strength of people controlled by money, rules or a shared cause is what is constantly making this world twist. Money and rules are set by governments and large companies. Shared causes come from the people. Our power lies in our ability to group up by talking about our values. By gossiping about other people we state that what that guy did is wrong or right. By talking about politics and its faults we make sure the other person knows what we think. The list goes on, but it is unnecessary to state so many examples. The point is that through subtly spreading our values, we share our power towards our causes. And we are secretly plotting about the subjects of our gossip to overrule them and take over the power to change this world to our hand. 

What I do with my intent
I like to make conscious choices about what it is that I want this world to become. This is how I spend most of my philosophy hours. It is important to know what you strive for, because only then can you change this world for the better. Do not mindlessly follow others, do not simply agree on their gossip. Because intent is way too important to be used just to have something in common.

Thank you.

The adventurous world



Modern day society has become a group of people pushing each other to their limits. It is not enough to be good at something, you will need to devote your life to something to be called good at something and then you can earn real money with that thing. If you are a master at some skill, you will become famous, wealthy and honoured for it. But where is the fun? Where is the: following your heart? Where is the, try to learn from every aspect of life, only then can you understand life? And where is the obvious answer to that that: if you know everything you might as well know nothing?

How adventurers make an awesome world
When all earthlings would go back to their roots, we would be skidding around, smelling flowers and looking at rocks for 3 hours because their forms are amazing. We were like this when we were children and we might be well off to go back to that state. When we would be open minded and would be enjoying the world, we would not be having to compensate for our lack of happiness with money. And that would result in us having more time to enjoy the world. When we then find what we actually like to be doing, we would be able to use that thing to make our net worth. Or in other words, our money.

What you should do if you just thought: I cannot stop working otherwise I will starve
If you do not feel comfortable with leaving your current life (which saps away at you because you are not doing what your heart wants to do). Then you should get rid of the reasons why you should stay in your current home. If you say you need money, live without money for a while or find out that you can make a trip around the world while working for food and rent. Step out of it. And another option you can take that is less radical is this one: slowly glide out of the current restrictions. Start by doing weird things like dancing, singing, smiling, saying hello to your neighbour, taking a random walk in your lunch break, hug a friend, say sorry to someone you have hurt, forgive your enemies, meditate, start painting. Whatever you feel like, go ahead and take your freedom.

Thank you.
