Like many of you, I am new at making social and political changes… even writing about them for that matter. In the past I caught myself thinking, “What can I do?.” I was afraid to voice my opinion and try to make changes. I believe that as we mature, there comes a time in your life when you either have to face reality, or continue to live in a naive world of fallacies. So what happens when you choose to face reality?
1. You Are Enlightened
When you face the truth, and accept the truth, you begin to appreciate the good and the bad of the truth. “Once you truly understand that life is difficult, it becomes easy.” Scott Peck, The Road Less Traveled.
2. You Accept Responsibility
When you accept the truth, you must accept responsibility. When you face reality, you understand that you are responsible for what happens in your life. Yes, some things are left to chance, such as a meteor falling from the sky and hitting you in the head. But ultimately, the job you have, the relationships you have, the friends you have, are all conscious or subconscious decisions that you’ve made to be where you’re at today. Accepting responsibility for all of your actions, be they conscious or subconscious, raises your awareness and helps you take action and take control of the direction of your life.
3. You Must Take Action
Expanding on the previous paragraph, I believe your awareness is piqued by the fact that you are now facing the truth, and accepting responsibility. Once you completely face the truth and accept responsibility, you must take action. There’s really no other alternative. If you decided to retreat, the fact that you’ve already faced the truth and accepted responsibility would send your life into a variable roller coaster of ups and downs, always wondering “what could have been.”
What I’m Saying
I want us all to face reality.
I feel like I’ve chosen to face reality. I am in the position now where I must make changes for the better in our society. Our friends, family, and neighbors depend on us to stand up for their best interest and make things right. It’s people like us that have afforded our country the comforts that we are enjoying right now. I served in the US Infantry and was discharged in ‘98 before I had to serve overseas. I was lucky to not have to have fought in any wars or see atrocities and possibly have lost my life. We here in the States who have not lost anyone to wars should be very grateful to those that have sacrificed.
That’s why I’ve created a Projects page where I’ve started working on projects in my community in order to give everyone the opportunity to make positive changes in our society. I believe that as more people start to accept the truth or “face reality”, we will make many more positive changes in our society. Do what you can to accept the truth and accept your responsibilities. Visit the projects page or make a donation to this website so we can continue to make forward progress.
