STILL ON THIS CHANGE

The subject CHANGE is among the most talked about topics across the world as people often desire change in their; personal lives, organisations, communities and the world at large.

My nation is on this journey for quite a while which has generated a lot of concern from different quarters leaving most people in doubt of its much expected reality.

But it seemed many people don't know that change is not automatic in any setting; it requires relevant mind renewal by everyone expecting or promising change.

Each person's life goes in the direction of his mindset. Likewise, the direction of every nation is determined by the thinking pattern of the citizens.

People don't act in a certain way until they begin to think in that particular way.

Corruption would always prevail as long people fixed their minds on corrupt practices.

Changes of government and changes of policies don't usually change anything anywhere but change of orientation and attitude in the right direction usually do.

If vast majority of citizens are yet to make up their minds not to indulge in criminality, violence and insecurity; there is limit to what security operatives can do to secure the society - especially when security officers are also liable to questionable practices.

Irrespective of measures put in place by government to curb poverty, until those concerned take responsibility to build capacity for productivity and resourcefulness - they continue to live in penury.

Imagine some able bodied individuals becoming career beggars while some people with profound disabilities (excusable from economic activities) refused to give up on themselves but chose to succeed thereby, proved to the world that disability is not a legal licence to be a liability.
What made the difference between the 2 groups is all about their thinking pattern.

Things change when we think change and become the change. Only changed minds change lives and communities.
