~*~Quinn's Choice Quote of the Day: Progress is not possible without change, & those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. George Bernard Shaw~*~
Good Day!
I give you today's edition of powerful perspective from renowned beings~
I find this quote very relevant to the Steemit community as there is a lot of talk about change, not only within how this platform works but about the change this revolutionary platform can potentially bring to the world.
This is one of my favorite quotes of all time because it is from the consciousness of responsibility. Responsibility is the key to freedom and most people that talk about change are doing just that: talking.
It's easy to see what is wrong with this world...SO much, it's all over the place! It's also easy to see what others are doing wrong or their dysfunctions, yet it is very difficult to see one's self and even more difficult to actually change. Change just may be the most difficult thing about being human, especially when one has been living in what appears to be a comfortable way for so many years, even decades...
All real change in one's own life and in the world comes from the change of perspective or as Shaw says one's mind. It is change within that allows real change to take place in one's life and the world.
It is easy to get stuck in the idea of changing the world by pointing out what is wrong with it or as many people do, complain about what is wrong with it. Some people who are closer make logical or reasonable suggestions as to what change should be implemented. Yet the most powerful thing one can do to "change" the world is to change one's self. This of course requires one to change one's relationship with the self and with the world as a whole. This is where real change happens; this is when it becomes possible to inspire others.
So if and when there is anything you want to change about someone, the world, or even your own life, go within and change your perspective. As perspective changes, experience changes.
I hope this quote inspires you! I hope that the example that I embody every day inspires you and I hope that I bring real value to this community!

Always grateful for the light you shine. This is a a great post and a great reminder of the importance of questioning everything and keeping an open mind. Love it!
May it be so∞§∞
It's like you can't keep doing the same thing and expect different results. Often we are blocked as to what direction to make the change for the desired result. Super grateful for a community who is happy to point out where I need to change...oh, and, grateful to you for providing the platform for change and evolution...and a perfect example.
Yes!
It's all a matter of perspective and what you give your attention to. Will you give your attention to the problem (complain) or will you give your attention to the solution (sustain) . You sir are a solution in action. So much truth here ~love it~ Bless

I love that you, allgoodthings, are tuning in to what @quinneaker has to share. Definitely a man of uncompromised values and a man of action!! Great to see you here on his post.
Thank you @everlove. When I see a truly revolutionary genuine authentic human being I make sure I connect and support!
This is a powerful concept. Everyone can look to their past and remember a time when they were different. To anyone reading this: A change was made in your life, it was difficult, but it was the most important thing you could have done. You did it! Now you are here and you could not see it any other way! How easy it would be for you to make that change today, with all the experience you now have?
Really great quote and loved your explanation of what it means to you. Really makes me pause and think. Well... most things you say do exactly that. 😉 A lot of people feel that knowledge is power. I think it's really the application of knowledge. People learn new things everyday but still stay stuck in their ways and then complain that things need to "change," when really it's the person and relationship to everything that needs to change, not things.
I agree. Knowledge is only one step in the process of transformation or success. It is important and essential yet only one facet.
I appreciate the support and am grateful this post is of real value to someone. That is the purpose of creating it.
