Dialogue


I believe we can all change this world, I believe that we can all contribute to the bigger picture. Based on individual morals, individual beliefs, individual passions and individual actions we can not only change our own lives but impact the world we live in. We all live on the same planet but all participate and truly live in our own individual worlds in which crossover and enter each other’s. I live in a world where every action, every word, every thought track can and will participate in the way I view the world and the world views me. I see the world as an opportunity, an opportunity to not only better my own but to better every single persons I come across. It’s an opportunity to understand, to support, and too help grow a movement towards change.

It’s augment to identify and clarify the factors that construct your belief system. I believe that we should invest in people, in ourselves and each other. We get told we all live in a community, we all live in society yet we’re made up of individuals, we all get encouraged to speak out about what we believe in yet are subject to isolation when trying to promote and to encourage change. Current societal movement encourages individuality, to make your voice heard, to put your views across to the wider community, yet a community is defined as “the condition of sharing or having certain attitudes and interests in common.” ( Oxford Dictionary)  so why don’t we inspire to crossover worlds, to combine and to strengthen not only a message but the concept that together a message will travel further, there will be more voices to be heard, more voices to be shared and more voices to enter dialogue.

The concept of Ubuntu that I’ve discussed previously identifies the importance of a community effort, that every individual success will grant success to community; the idea that success is to be shared and encouraged as a team; so I’m suggesting in the promotion of dialogue between us. Not a debate, not just a conversation but an environment which opinion isn’t a burden yet a contribution to an action, to a movement. Whatever world you live in, whatever your passion is, whatever contribution you want to make to your world, to our world should be highlighted and heard. Give yourself the opportunity to make your voice heard in an environment which factors in the majority not just the minority. Dialogue can happen in a pair, in a group, in an entire community. Use your voice as a brick towards building the house, no matter how large or how long you spend adding to it, your contribution is necessary in the creation of change.

Senses

Breathe, take a step back and open your eyes; open your ears, open your soul and most importantly open your heart. Open your heart to possibilities, to yourself and to others. Don’t rush just consider, consider what’s important to you; consider what makes you, you. Look, gain a 360 degree perspective of yourself, your soul, your being and let it guide your actions and most importantly let it guide your vision. When you look forward what do you see? Do you see progression or do you see yourself stationary? Listen to the sound of your heartbeat beating in your chest when you experience true happiness, the rush of what it means to be alive. Allow yourself to listen to your own thoughts, to your own feelings and take action. Learn to listen to prioritise what’s important to you and your being. Smell so you can remember, scent is the most powerful memory trigger. Remember what it is that allows you to wake up in the morning, brush your teeth and put your shoes on to walk outside ...

Marcienne

I found myself when I found these people. I understood what it truly means to be human, to be connected and to love someone purely because of their existence. They’ve allowed me to wake up every single morning and ask myself what’s really important. From a country of complete conflict, hate, discrimination and violence where in the space of 100 days, one million people were violently slaughtered due to their ethnicity, I now see a country functioning on nothing but love, hope and respect for each other with the primary focus of creating a pathway to societal progress which fundamentally functions based on community. Four years ago I was fortunate enough to meet a 90 year old woman named Marcienne, who in 1994 witnessed the slaughter of five of her children and the love of her life. Along with thousands of people still living with the trauma of the genocide today, she has nothing but love to give. Imagine walking into a community to be greeted by groups of people just thankful for ...

The Jigsaw Puzzle

Learn to sit back and take a look at the bigger picture. The picture is made up of thousands of different pigments, different colours, different thoughts and different meanings. The ‘bigger picture’ is essentially creating a collage of individual and contrasting images that work inclusively to represent something bigger, your world. Essentially life is like a jigsaw puzzle, where each piece represents unique and meaningful factors that interlink and connect to one another in a constant network of emotions that link an individual’s values to their actions in parallel to their reactions. Understanding what is important in your life is imperative in guiding your actions, working as a connecting piece from your internal thoughts to your external responses maintaining a healthy equilibrium.   Your three dimensional being inclusive of your values, actions and reactions contribute to the jigsaw yet are not isolated in its making. If they say life is about the bigger picture than fa...
