"Assuming that most people know the problems of the world, what is the best way to empower the masses to take action?" TribeSteemUp BiWeekly Question



This question was put forward by @kennyskitchen and it is a question that I have thought a lot about, because this is what I want to be doing. So many people in the world today, have no idea what they are capable of, are not aware of the fact that we are all creators. They have happily followed other people's expectations, have walked the path that so many have walked before them. A path that they could follow with their eyes closed, so comfortable in their existence. Well taught, to not ask any questions, to only follow and obey.

Yes Repeat, Repeat, The Nature of Our Defeat.

Most of these people are aware that there are problems in the world, but they do not wish to acknowledge them. They don't want to rock the boat, to question their reality. Because if they do, then what? They see all the lies, the manipulation, the truth that they haven been and continue to be played. Just pawns in a game, puppets in a show, totally undervalued in the grand scheme of their reality. Seen as totally dispensable. Is it possible to reach those people, to put time and effort in to waking them up to the reality we all live in. Should we try.

I have and I faced ridicule for it. Some people, do not want to know, do not want the responsibility on their shoulders. They see it as a very personal attack, if you get them to question their lifestyle, the choices that they have made. I can understand that to some degree. But we have a responsibility to ourselves and to the earth, to be aware, to be active and to always move forward. To keep moving forward. We are not meant to live a stagnant life, following the same pattern day in, day out. We need to move forward, so that our thinking, our capacity for creativity can thrive.

Yes Life Needs To Flow And We Need To Flow With It!

We really need to meet people where they are at, accept them for who they are, because otherwise they will never be any respect. That one act of acceptance can lead onto a subtle change in that persons life. There is no need to preach to people, to approach people as though we hold all the answers and they know nothing. Because that is something that they have become accustomed to, that is actually the norm. So many people are following the ideas and beliefs of others that have been passed down generation, after generation.

We Do Not Repeat. We Create .We Create Change, We Live by Example and We Send Ripples out into the world. Ripples of change. We show what change looks like! We need to become more conscious of how we live, how we think and how we interact with others.



Right now, my energy, my focus is to connect with and reach out to those that are already on the path to awareness. Who are open to change and are willing to do what needs to be done.

I feel strongly that we need to focus on reconnecting with the earth. Reconnecting with the land that surrounds us, with the seasons that affect us in so many ways, yet are ignored. We are part of this amazing Earth Cycle, we need to help people remember that. The power we need in moving forward, is inside of us all. By reconnecting more with the earth, we reconnect with ourselves, our true self. The self that holds itself up, that is not propped up by possessions or other peoples expectations of us.

When we begin to show gratitude for the earth, then we begin to connect with our personal power. We need to empower ourselves before we empower others. But once you feel that connection with the earth, then you can not sit by and ignore what is happening. Because that connection brings with it the awareness, that we are all connected and the earth provides us with everything we need. Every breath we take depends on her, our survival depends on her. So when we embrace that, when we celebrate that connection, we tap into the universal energy that is love. That is our fuel, that is what drives us and that is what empowers us.

For we are first and foremost beings of love and that is what we need to remember.

I am very happy to say that I have been connecting with lots of awesome people who are on the path of awareness, who are actively creating change in the world. All change needs to start with you and me and it is being here on on Steemit that has allowed me to connect with you awesome people, who are spread right around the world. We are creating change, by coming together, by being WE. We are inspiring one another by our actions, our stories, our creations. We are empowering one another!

This was a really courageous response to a BIG question. I really liked this: "We Do Not Repeat. We Create. We Create Change, We Live by Example and We Send Ripples out into the world. Ripples of change. " And so it is. I almost feel I want to inscribe that on the back of the bathroom door or something... so I can remind myself of it often. Thank you. 💜

thank you @artemislives and please do inscribe and one day I will come and admire it xxx

I'm gonna do that. Ask my daughter to make something beautiful around it art-wise and laminate it. Lovely idea for a Chiang Mai Sunday.

oh please do I would love a picture of it xxx

I will ask my daughter, 14 year old Ploi (@nabithecat) to create some magic and turn it into a steem post.

We are not meant to live a stagnant life, following the same pattern day in, day out. We need to move forward, so that our thinking, our capacity for creativity can thrive.

This is so true. I firmly believe that even if things appear hard, we just have to keep going. There's sweetness in the struggle too! I love you for your great, great love of this beautiful world of ours - I wish we had a million Aishlynns, and then the world would be fine xxx

thank you beautiful, you have made my heart swell xxx

If you ever make your way to the Monterey Bay area in your motor home, hit me up!

Cheers @jonyoudyer but I don't think I will make it over with my housetruck, butthanks for the invite x

Very powerful words. You touch many with your thoughts. If we could all keep this in our vision what a nice place we would have.

yes indeed @bethvalverde, thank you for dropping by xx

I also feel that one of the main keys lies in people reconnecting to the earth. I would even take it that far that if I were in charge I would as one of the first things that I would do is impose laws on the balance between concrete and forrest IN inhabited area's. People NEED forrest. A lot of them don't realise but... EVERYONE feels better when there's trees around us. because trees balance us. But you know that. xx

they sure do, the trees are my elders and I have so much to be grateful for and I am living with some very old and amazingly peaceful olive trees, they give me strength often, thank you Clara and I agree we need to plant more trees xx

What a wonderful response to this question! I really like the path that you talk when answering this. It truly is extremely important that we empower ourselves before we empower any others. And this is true and so many different aspects of our lives. Setting example and living our truth certainly is a powerful act!

Thank you my friend, I am always happy to have you come drop by my blog and leave me some great feedback xxx

I wish I would have been able to enter, but I will still answer the question.

Like what @alchemage said i believe that it really comes down to education, but at the same time, they need the inspiration that empowers them to take action, inspiration comes from within, but is usually activated by an external experience that one sees which shows them that they could do the same thing and it sparks the focus to create the vision. I have learned recently that what you focus on becomes your reality, so if you want someone to make a difference, you need to get them to focus on their own ability to make a change through things that inspire them. For me that was permaculture!!!!!

very well said @open3ye and you can always answer the questions put forward by @tribesteemup, feel free anytime xx

where and when do I answer? I didnt see the original post
