Important oppositions

We just watched a documentary on water: The Flow. Oh my. Don't watch it if you will be frustrated about all of the things you should do. Drastic changes in how I live will surely drastically complicate my life. Much like after many documentaries I've watched I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. How do I, a single human, make a difference with regard to these global issues?

 I can't. There is no way. What I can do is to choose an aspect from the issue and make one change in my behavior. I must commit wholly to that one change until I have assimilated the new behavior in my life. Then I can choose another aspect of an issue -- inching my way into having a very real lasting change.

However, I want to incorporate so many changes: healthcare, mental health, farming, food, water, alternative medicine, spirituality, compassion, human rights, animal protection, etc. You can see how my interests could bring about an overwhelming sense of hopelessness, unless I make many small (some tiny) changes -- continuously. I must keep expanding my awareness. I must keep caring. Always.

How about you?

Making Decisions

Making a decision to simply blog has been a big deal. Posting for all of the whoevers to read my whatevers? So I put it off long enough for all of the titles I had thought about to be stolen and used by someone other than me. Looking them up I felt violated. Those were my ideas. Even my name had been used!

We see ourselves as such incredible individuals -- like snowflakes, we are told. Hm. Not so much. Perhaps we are all slightly different. A tiny bit different. Yet we are much more the same.

Therefore, we begin to explore our innermost selves and how we go about making decisons based on our soul's purpose -- thus, Our Inner Decisions. As Osho puts it, "If you really want to change your life, start immediately."
