Theme 40: Change

It is impossible for any person, or team of people to know for certain what information is valuable to all the people inside an organization.

You will never figure out what's right until you fix what you already know if inherently wrong.

Change is terrifying because it’s 99% of the time positive, and if we don’t change we die.

Generalmente cuando me ponen ..como limites ... generalmente lo que trato de hacerlo es romperlos

Once somebody connects with you on a truly honest level, that connection never goes away.

The ability to change as the world around you changes is essential.

It’s about being in the business of not jeopardizing who you are because you’re scared of continuing.

Are you making small changes everyday to get to where you wanna go?

By sharing and being transparent you open yourself to a whole new tribe

We should be the parents of our future, rather than the offspring of our past.

Si el cambio va a venir de todas maneras, entonces relájate. Relájate, acéptalo, y transforma toda esa energía hacia otra dirección.

And so the question that I leave each of you with, is for you, as individuals, What is your audacious dream?

"si no duele el cuerpo , no graba el entendimiento y no evoluciona el alma"

"Estás buscando, deseando románticamente un cambio, que a lo mejor nunca va a llegar y que tú mismo no estás produciendo"

For those who raised their hand wanting to make a change, is it so scary now knowing all you need to do is to change your perspective?

Change is absolutely not a one-time thing. We're always evolving every single day.

Are you out there having fun? Are you doing what you love? Are you making small changes every day to get you where you want to go?

When you start to make big changes like that, or even small changes like that, a lot of big things start to happen.

Values, strengths and self-awareness, if not identified and owned, effect no one.

What do you do when you're a sad little cube person whose tears are fueling the building you work in?

I'm from New England, we plan shit out.

This is personal. It's millions of actual people making a few signifiant changes in our way of thinking that incubates an insidiously infectious collective of change.

Why wouldn't we choose to change to a society that nurtures the best in us, instead of breeding the worst?

I'm not advocating a return to agrarian society, I'm inviting you to think what it would be like to reach back into the past, find that thing of value, and imagine a society that valued that type of thinking related to family, community, connectivity, inter-dependence — instead of profit.

Re-Evolution: Reaching back into the past to find things of quality that inspire us, and then re-evolve them using new thinking.

We were taught that the American Dream was an honor to struggle for, and we are struggling more than we used to.

As real people, the capacity for personal transformation is one of the best thing we have going for us.

I find the capacity to change that we have as people, one of the most moving features of the human condition.

The fiction that the wealth and prosperity being generated today is "worth it," makes We The People the principal enablers of a pretty twisted system that leads to our own destruction.

Through absurd laws, we the people permit, invite, and even pay corporations to exploit our environment without any moral obligation of any kind.

I find gross wealth disparity inhumane and insupportable.

The birth of "corporate personhood" is probably the most lopsided and Orwellian speak of all time - and has had the most far reaching impacts. Overnight it bestowed on these corporations the rights of a human but with no obligation to support or participate in the society that supports it.

When we are honest with ourselves about it, when we think about the decline of nearly all the planets ecosystems that can support life, there is no way to see the impacts of industrial free markets as anything than the largest single failure in the history of humanity. That seems to indicate something that needs to be dealt with, and I look for some way to participate in that.

Unless you are a "deny-er," you are fully aware that we're creating a debt that future generations are gonna have difficulty paying.

Nothing drives global change and impacts to our society and our personal lives like the existence and activities of corporations.

Only the most self destructive of us doesn't seek some progress in their personal lives, their professional lives, society they belong to.

When you take action, you stop operating from a 'what if?' standpoint to a 'what now?' standpoint.

You have to put action into things in order to see change.

If we personify change, it's very wise.

Everyday is hard, but everyday is good too. Possibilities? Endless.
