Start where you are

The time for choosing to be a catalyst for change and for different possibilities has arrived and it is pulling at us with a great urgency.

The world as we know it is changing. We live in a time of accelerating change in the global landscape. As much as we want our life and our reality to stay the same, we certainly can't stop the force of current events that are shaking up the world.

To prosper and thrive in the decade ahead we have to make a deliberate choice to become a creator source of a different possibility. We have to be willing to move beyond the ordinary and everything that is considered normal in this reality.

When you acknowledge that you are the source of different possibility, you will know that you can choose anything and change anything.

If you are not happy with your circumstances right now, please recognize that you can make new choices and begin to change your circumstances for the better.

Start where you are

The first step is to acknowledge for yourself what “being the agent of change” actually means to you. It’s a very profound question. It allows you to be aware of what is true for you.

You have to be brutally honest with yourself and ask, “Is this what I really want?” You have to be truthful to yourself. When you are willing to have that with yourself, you can be totally present with what is going on for you and for the people around you.

In order to be ‘the agent of change’, you have to start making different choices in your everyday actions. You have to acknowledge that the way you live your life makes a difference to all of us and to the planet.

Make a choice to start now. Start choosing for the possibility even though you have no concept of what it looks like. When you choose for the possibility, you don't need to have an exact vision or clarity of what should show up. You only need to have awareness of the energy. You can be aware of the energy by continuous questions and following the energy.

Be aware, follow the energy, and trust your knowing

Following the energy is about being willing to receive the information that is available. Ask questions, follow the energy, and make conscious choices based on the information and awareness you perceive and receive. It is about being open to receive everything without judgment. It is about remaining constantly open, vulnerable, and unresisting to any energy.

When you start to function from this space, you’ll begin to see that you have an energy that you can contribute to things in a different way than you may have thought possible.

Ask these questions - "What energy would you have to be today to create your entire life?" and "What choice would I have to make to allow me to be the change I wish to see in the world?"

To be the agent of change you have to be willing to function at a bigger level than anybody else around you. You have to be willing to be the question and the energy that changes reality.

So, how can you choose to become a change agent?

First, you must realize that becoming an agent of change is a choice. You will begin to become a catalyst for different possibilities the moment you choose to be it.

Choosing to be an agent of change is completely internal. That is, it has nothing to do with anything or anyone else. It is a commitment you make to yourself not to live by anyone else’s judgment and reality ever again, no matter what. This, of course, works only if you are sincere and willing to be aware.

The first question to ask is: Do I have a sincere aspiration and willingness to be an agent of change and a catalyst for different possibilities? The answer can only be yes or no. Sincerity and willingness are essential. They facilitate the expansion of conscious awareness by motivating you to choose it.

You've got to be willing to be the catalyst for change, whether or not anybody else is or whether anybody else receives it or not. It's a choice and a demand you have to make of yourself.
