Not Just A Date On The Calendar This Year : It’s A New Beginning Everlastingly

This day comes and goes on the calendar every twelve months, and then life carries on as it did before. But it’s within an individual’s power to change the stalemate.
I tell you; I have made a commitment to myself on the last day of the twelfth month for the first day of the next twelve. My commitment is to think healthier by widening the horizon of my thoughts. My resolutions have been from attracting the law of desire to be physically healthier to author a book to increased family time to enhance self-care, etc. etc. What now? I feel like treading outside my own four walls into the wider world. While I desired for my life, there has been a lot of un-desirables happening around. The world is changing (not necessarily evolving) and to keep the globe rotating on its axis, we all have a part to play to keep the axis at 23.5 degrees. I am referring to something as important as global warming- it’s the human heart that is growing colder towards one another.
There are invisible and partially visible forces which are working diligently to keep the human social mass divided with hatred and disinformation. Well, hatred is the end goal of most disinformation. The partial face of this power is sometimes recognised as politics and other times corporation – both answers are correct. Money is the axis which makes this power spin steadily. We, the so-called ordinary people and women are just means to their profit. But we need not be as common and ineffective as they deem we all are. Lets’ begin by recognising the paramount responsibility on our shoulders to support global unity as the pivotal of humanity. This is not to suggest divorcing individual culture, language, faith or nation to join the new world order of human beings, but in fact I am talking about staying within the personal identities yet connect with those who seem different from you. There are pockets of battles and wars being fought all over the world today, and most of us react or have an opinion about it only if it affects an individual directly. The day we, the so-called ‘commoners’ begin to take interest in one another’s battles, we would not be so divided as the elite powers might desire to see.
Where to start? I think by tweaking the mindset would be a brilliant starting point. I concluded by putting a ‘to do’ list for myself, but it is not exhaustive.  
● Do not believe in everything on the social media. Do own research on the subject before trusting any dishonest propaganda.
● Judge a politician by his/her action, not the rhetoric and great speeches. This might be a cliché, but never goes out of fashion. Reason? We’ve become too lazy to try to see between the lines. Hints are always there.
● Train own mind and heart not to judge hastily and irrationally. Life is short but long enough to dig deeper.
● Do not always mistake intense emotion for passion. The partially visible power can be very persuasive and potentially instigate high emotions. Develop a mental sensor by thinking fairly and impartially.
●Challenge age-old stereotype prejudices. Research and test morally before deciding. However, at the same time, a qualified tough decision is not prejudice either.  
●Do not mistake cowardice for peace. Sometimes justified force, as the last resort, is the only means to reinstate peace.
●Do not hesitate to challenge a credulous follower of the partially visible power or a tool in the machinery of spreading intolerance through disinformation.
●Last but not the least- call spade a spade, but about what is relevant and proven. Rudeness or discourtesy are not in this category at all. So, remember to speak up in defence but never in pre-meditated offence.  
Remember the common enemy and the fatal weapon of mass destruction today is – Disinformation.
I shall endeavour to write my next article in this light. Happy New Year and happy resolution for a brand new beginning of the free world.
