Change. What is change? This is a question I have asked myself so many times before. What is change, what does change mean to me? As I look around the world, I see so many different things, different people, different places, and different circumstances. I see a world, a place in complete and total chaos. Nations in distress. Homes turn into rubble. Lands turned into war zones. We hear time and time again, "together we can change the world." but can we really change the world and if we could where do we start? How do you change a world who rages and fight over their many differences? How do you change a system that's been put in place, to keep the inhabitants of the nation in which they live, oppressed and controlled? How do you change a world where society says it's not ok to be different from others? How do you change a world where a person is judge by the color of their skin or the background of their nationality rather than being judge by the character of their heart? How do you change a world where people try to think for you as if your not smart enough to think for yourself? How do you change a world where a person is not just oppressed in their community but they also have to face cruel judgement at home also? How do you change a world where people think how much money you save is more important than the money you spend to feed a person who is hungry? How do we change our world, to be honest I'm not sure if we can change the entire world but I think I know where we start. We don't start with our communities, not even our own homes. We start with our own hearts. The way I see it is every person, every man, woman, boy, and girl is individually made which means we all get a chance to say who we are going to be to ourselves, our families, our communities, and even the impact we each will have on the world. For example racism will not change because the government put laws in place against racism and discrimination; racism starts in the heart of man. If a person hates someone because of skin tone or nationality that is considered racism but that can change if a racist person chooses to get know a person for who they are rather than judging based off of skin tone or nationality, because we are all different even if we come from the same national background. Change comes when a mother chooses to embrace her daughter's love for sports rather than ballet or a father embraces his son's love for ballet rather than sports. Change starts within. Change you, change your home, change your community, change the world.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

We Become What We Repeatedly Do
How a Habit is developed? Most of a person’s daily activities are their habits. A habit is usually a circle of cue action and reward. A cue is a cause behind a certain behavior, and it switches the brain to automatic mode, so makes a person repeat the routine. The cause is anything like some place or some time of the day, and emotional state, or a social circumstance. The more the action leads to a reward like a good feeling or relief the more it encourages a person to focus on the action but forget the trigger and the reward. For example, if you play video games most of the time you may notice that the trigger could be boredom and the reward could be entertainment, you can then change your action to something else, that will bring the same reward like watching TV, or using social media.

Hall of mirrors
Things used to matter, before all the noise. And at that time when things still had meaning, there had been dreaming too, when dreams still mattered. And the brightest dream from those times was full of mountains and seas and smiles and the types of passion that absorbs you the way a dog is absorbed by witnessing something for the first time: with absolute presence, and awe.
