The mom



 The mom


The mom who stays home to
unschool her kids, the man who
loves bowling with his friends and
is openly gay, the raw foodist who
has a home garden and invites
her friends over for dinner, the
former priest who tells his friends
about his journey away from
religion and toward spirituality
- all of these people are worldchangers.
They’re opting out
of control paradigm systems.
They’re living their lives openly,
authentically, and in alignment
with their hearts. They share by
connecting with others, quietly
and personally. In so doing, they
spread the revolutionary idea that
you can choose to live your own way.
Gandhi had it half right when he
said, “Be the change you want
to see in the world.” The second
half is “connect with others.” If you
go off and live on a mountaintop
and never talk to anyone - even if
you’re being the change you want
to see in the world - you’re not
changing the world. But if you
come down from time to time and
connect with people so they know
you’re living your perfect life on a
mountaintop, and if you tell them
that they can follow their own
dreams and live their own perfect
lives, too? That’s revolutionary.
When you live the change you
want to see, when you follow your
dreams, you don’t need to pass
pamphlets around or shout on
soapboxes or march around with
signs. Those are control paradigm
tactics - yelling at people to try to
force them to change.
All you need to do is be your
authentic self and connect
with others. That’s the kind of
revolution we can get behind, the
kind of revolution we’re building
