Inviting Change

Inviting Change

Changing to be kind
Changing to love
Changing to listen
Changing to appreciate
Changing to offer choice
Changing to pause 
Changing to slow down
Changing to be clear
Changing to reflect 
Changing to serve
Changing to accept others
Changing to accept myself
Changing to keep my chin up
At work and in life
I find it pleasant…

Changing to shrink myself
Changing to not show up
Changing to give up
Changing to discard loyalty
Changing to abandon commitment
Changing to stop questioning
Changing to shift the blame
Changing to be part of an unkind game
At work and in life
Do you accept these demands?
I find it easier to refuse

Do not change for fake acceptance
RESTART & and not shutdown
What others INTERPRET  & IMPOSE is not your change
What you REFLECT & REALIZE is your change

Support others to change
Not because you want them to
Not because they are bad
But because they need it
To get unstuck 
To move forward & ahead
Worthless it is to manipulate change in everything & in others
Without changing ourselves slowly and steadily
 For the real inner magic

Thank you so much to Radha for allowing us to share her insightful poem, highlighting the importance of us being honest with ourselves and others to invite and encourage change in all areas of our lives.
