Change

"All stories have a curious and even dangerous power. They are manifestations of truth -- yours and mine. And truth is all at once the most wonderful yet terrifying thing in the world, which makes it nearly impossible to handle. It is such a great responsibility that it's best not to tell a story at all unless you know you can do it right. You must be very careful, or without knowing it you can change the world."

"And whatever my life had been up to that day, it was another life after that. And that is the gospel truth."

"They would not find me changed from him they knew — Only more sure of all I thought was true."

"Ask yourself: what is it, that if I believed it down to my core, would change everything?"

"Smartass Disciple: Master, I’m going to change the whole world. Master of Stupidity: It changes within you. It changes without you."

"So do flux and reflux--the rhythm of change--alternate and persist in everything under the sky."

"It is not by believing but by doubting that one can attain to the truth, which is ever changing form and condition."

"When God is ready for you to move, He will make your situation uncomfortable."

"We must all work in harmony with each other to stand up for what is right, to speak up for what is fair, and to always voice any corrections so that the ignorant become informed and justice is never ignored. Every time a person allows an act of ignorance to happen, they delay our progress for true change. Every person, molecule and thing matters. We become responsible for the actions of others the instant we become conscious of what they are doing wrong and fail to remind them of what is right."

"Decide what your truth is. Then live it."

"Where we fall are the stepping-stones for our journey."

"Do not dilute the truth of your potential. We often convince ourselves that we cannot change, that we cannot overcome the circumstances of our lives. That is simply not true. You have been blessed with immeasurable power to make positive changes in your life. But you can't just wish it, you can't just hope it, you can't just want it... you have to LIVE it, BE it, DO it."

"No boundary or barrier surrounds the heart of a person that loves their self and others."

"It is a time of change,'' Sazed said. ''Perhaps it is also time to learn of other truths, other ways."

"To really change the world, we have to help people change the way they see things. Global betterment is a mental process, not one that requires huge sums of money or a high level of authority. Change has to be psychological. So if you want to see real change, stay persistent in educating humanity on how similar we all are than different. Don't only strive to be the change you want to see in the world, but also help all those around you see the world through commonalities of the heart so that they would want to change with you. This is how humanity will evolve to become better. This is how you can change the world. The language of the heart is mankind's main common language."

"Judging is preventing us from understanding a new truth. Free yourself from the rules of old judgments and create the space for new understanding."

"Well and good if all things change, O Lord God, provided I am rooted in You."

"The greatest mistake of the movement has been trying to organize a sleeping people around specific goals. You have to wake the people up first, then you'll get action."

"The present convergence of crises––in money, energy, education, health, water, soil, climate, politics, the environment, and more––is a birth crisis, expelling us from the old world into a new."

"Losing a belief in free will has not made me fatalistic—in fact, it has increased my feelings of freedom. My hopes, fears, and neuroses seem less personal and indelible. There is no telling how much I might change in the future. Just as one wouldn’t draw a lasting conclusion about oneself on the basis of a brief experience of indigestion, one needn’t do so on the basis of how one has thought or behaved for vast stretches of time in the past. A creative change of inputs to the system—learning new skills, forming new relationships, adopting new habits of attention—may radically transform one’s life."
