Peaceful Solutions for Changing Your World
(1) Nelson Mandela’s Top 9 Fundamentals for Changing Your World
Quotations from Nelson Mandela in this article:
“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”
“It always seems impossible until its done.”
“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
“After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.”
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
“If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.”
“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
“We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.”
“When the water starts boiling it is foolish to turn off the heat.”
“That was one of the things that worried me – to be raised to the position of a semi-god – because then you are no longer a human being. I wanted to be known as Mandela, a man with weaknesses, some of which are fundamental, and a man who is committed.”
(2) Surrender to Pain-
- All challenges are there to teach us a lesson. But we are conditioned to treat challenge as a bad thing. Challenge is our friend, embrace it!
- We experience what we put out. When we experience and express a feeling towards someone, we ultimately are the receiver of that feeling. When we express anger towards someone else, we feel the pain. When we hold a grudge against someone, our own inner space suffers. Next time you express an emotion, take notice in how it makes you feel on the inside.
- Every day, there are miracles happening all around us, yet, in a state of deep unawareness, we fail to see them. Even the happiest of events, can be diluted when we’re consumed with problems.
- Our minds are naturally and automatically attracted to problems. Even when everything else is going well, our mind looks for conflicts, issues, differences and problems. We can’t handle how happy we actually are, and how there’s really nothing to be worried about. Without problems, our ego has nothing to cling to.
- All problems are rooted in our interpretation of an external circumstance. Thus, all problems are really created in our heads. They don’t actually exist, except in our own projection of a tale we have convinced ourselves of and believe to be true.
- We suffer, unnecessarily, in advance of an anticipated outcome or event. Nothing has happened yet, but because we have imagined the worst case scenario in our mind, we become afraid of what might happen. As a result, we suffer in advance of a possible scenario that may or may not take place in the future.
- There is nothing we can’t handle, even death. It doesn’t matter how much suffering we endure ahead of time, when the anticipated event happens, it happens, and we move on. The actual event is rarely as bad as we had anticipated. We are stronger than we think.
(3) Finding Hope
“Do you need His hand to steady you today? Do you need to beat on His chest and release your anxiety to Him? He can take the anger, the fear, the hopelessness and give you instead a peace that is beyond understanding… a peace that steadies you in spite of turbulent surroundings. Invite Him….”
“Father God in Heaven,
I am tired and spent from the cares of my life and the circumstances that are overwhelming me. Forgive me for going my own way and not acknowledging You in my life. Today I want to change that. Today I want to invite You to lead me and guide me. My own resources are simply not enough. I need Your strength and Your wisdom to help me know the next step. I want to trust in You. Increase my faith and help me walk daily with You. Comfort me, reassure me of Your love and take my life into Your hands. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.”
Change Your Stress Level by Changing Your Life
“We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.”

Relationship Quick Links 7/9/09
Writing that comes the closest to my experiences helps me to further define who I was and who I am becoming. I don’t want to ever be finished growing and changing.
I love the simplicity of Johari’s Window for self-discovery. For a simple explanation of Johari’s window–read the Wikipedia definition. For all the ways Johari’s Window can be used–read businessballs.com.
The greater source for self-understanding comes from our relationships. Each person in your life is defining you in special ways. Paying attention to the ways you relate to the people in your life will continue to give you clues to your interrelationship.

Our Inner Child is Our Eternal Child
“Inner child is the carrier of our personal stories, the vehicle for our memories of both the actual child and an idealized child from the past. It is the truly alive quality of being within us. It is the soul, our experiencer throughout the cycles of life. It is the sufferer. And it is the bearer of renewal through rebirth, appearing in our lives whenever we detach and open to change.” Jeremiah Abrams
If you can help someone get in touch with the creativity inside them, you have helped a person discover the beautiful self he/she is inside. Our joy lives in our creativity which is the joyful, playful child inside. The self-esteem school of helping people requires living in the head. Getting in touch with creativity requires living in the heart.
“In the adult there lurks a child—an eternal child, something that is always becoming, is never completed, and that calls for increasing care, attention, and education. This is the part of the human personality that wishes to develop and become whole.” Carl Jung
The inner child is a popular topic for many types of blogs. Some of the posts include the following ideas:
My Favorite Recovery Blogs
Many people offer great guidance for addiction recovery. I always look for the writer who offers avenues toward greater self-discovery and doesn’t pretend that he/she has the “answers”. Each of us who are on a healing journey have to find our own individual answers. But the Internet has a wealth of sites that offer direction and purpose.
Someone I “met” at Squidoo, Bob Urell, has a good site and good Squidoo lenses.
I have read this guy since he was in seminary school. He has had an amazing journey and has a good program of recovery. Ragamuffin Ramblings
