This question has been asked to a significant number of people and, in addition to some statements, it also appears that people find it difficult to talk about something that makes the world more beautiful. Or actually, one cannot call it that.
World peace and more bullshit…
The standard statement about world peace certainly does not hold water, because when the next question is how you contribute, then it remains silent. And that is typical of Western society (particularly the industrial powers). We want everything and we want it now, but that is unfortunately the case. Perhaps somewhat exaggeratedly, we still live in a society where we are not really concerned with structural matters when it comes to making the world a little more beautiful and better. But that does not alter the fact that we must be positive about it and gain insight in time. The advantage is that we can keep the first steps close to ourselves.
Improve the world and start with yourself…
A frequently heard statement, but it does have a clear grain of truth. We are simply not able to change that thing about the world that will immediately make it right. So start with yourself, radiate it and thus increase the chain or oil slick.
There are a number of things that you can comply with relatively easily and that still have an impact in your immediate environment.
Personal
When people criticize other people, most people feel this as a direct attack. But usually it is not about the person, but about the official, his behavior, a product or service delivered. Accept that criticism can take you further and if it is not delivered constructively, ask for constructive criticism instead of going into your shell or counter-attacking.
The acceptance process in this is important, because everyone can grow in his/her life. You grow through your education, the experience you gain in something, your curiosity that you want to be satisfied and therefore also criticism that is given to you for free.
The fact that you are able to absorb the criticism and do something with it, which can also mean ignoring it, is already an important first step. With this first step you have also taken a step towards personal freedom, even if it does not seem that way. You follow your life path and everything that is an addition you take in and other things you put aside. Allowing your thoughts to focus on everything that comes your way in this regard is very important. You adapt it to personal growth.
Words
Spoken and unspoken words are important to keep the communication process going. Because as long as we communicate, everything is possible and that gives us a rich feeling.
But all this also means that when someone raises an eyebrow, we do not let our own thoughts be the answer. When you expect an answer you ask for it in words and sometimes the answer does not come. If someone has a clear reason for that, that’s fine. However, if someone does not give you that explanation about the lack of an answer, this could be for all kinds of reasons. It is always important to realize that someone may not yet be communicative enough, for whatever reason, to put this into words properly. Accept it and do not assume the most negative scenario, after all, everyone has their own growth path.
If you still want to give it a try, ask questions with an open attitude. Questions that may stimulate the other person’s thoughts and can help formulate an answer.
Doing well
Following from the previous point, we can say that if you do your best, no more can be asked of you. In everything you do, you can say that if you do your best, you do it well. The fact that this is not always one hundred percent is irrelevant. There may be all kinds of reasons why you don’t have that one hundred percent to give. Don’t apologize for it, as long as it is what you have to offer at that moment, you have done what is within your capabilities at that moment.
The consciousness process in this is important and will become second nature at some point if you continue to realize it regularly. But that also means that you slowly exclude things that do not fit into good practice. Ugly words about someone that you once say based on an unpleasant experience, it can happen to all of us. But if you are aware of what is happening and you focus on doing it right, you will notice that for a moment you will no longer say those ugly words. Without you realizing it, these kinds of things are out of your system. However, that doesn’t mean you’ll never be angry again. Being angry is not a bad thing either, because it is a form of expression that also gets you something. As long as it is something you want to get out of your system and is not played down, there is nothing to worry about. Also a learning process.
Life is learning…
These are not processes that you just do if they are not in your system. But you start by being aware of how you react to things and slowly you start working on your reaction. Put things into perspective and learn to bend the process. Of course, all kinds of people can help you, but you can also try it alone. Some examples of who can help you if you need help. On a business level, the Legatio foundation explicitly works on this: personal growth and application in business life. www.stichtinglegatio.nl. The lady who designs Niiraja specifically works on this for private individuals. www.niijraja.nl. For some, the outsider is the one who can point out things to you, and for others, they step into the learning process themselves.
