For me I am writing this collection of principles for the same reason you hav sought this collection out, given that you are not reading it at my request (thank you), you want change in your life, you want a tool which can guarantee if used correctly that you can make any positive change in your life that you desire. I cannot say this is complete for the first time until I am able to have this collection of writings do that for myself. I need to create a collection of writings that can drive change, I need to believe that I can create a group of writings that can change my world into what I desire. I am at the start of writing this now, if you have found this collection, potentially as a book, yourself after I have achieved my dream, then at the moment I write these words you do not know me, I am a nobody to most people, I have never written anything recognizable before, I have not published anything or created anything that would give anyone any confidence that I can achieve my dream. I should be clear on what dream it is, what is the change that I am desiring to achieve through this creation. What is the change that I envision?
1. I have created a collection of writings that is used as a tool by others to enact positive change in their own life.
2. I have created a collection of writings that people seek out on their own or is recommended by someone who is not me, they want to read it for personal reasons, not only because I ask them.
3. I have created a collection of writings that can be used to navigate when change has been thrust upon us and introduced new conflicts requiring change to resolve them.
4. I have created a collection of writings that has connected me to humanity and has allowed me to pursue my passion of helping others resolve the conflicts in their lives without creating unnecessary conflicts within my own.
5. I have created a collection of writings that at the end of my life I will without a doubt be able to say has been my biggest contribution to humanity.
6. I have created a collection of writings that becomes a part of human history, one that will live in the memory of humanity. One that becomes the most well-known collection of writings to exist.
This is my dream for this collection of writings, this is what I am going to create, this is the change that will undeniable when this collection of writings is completed, when you are reading this collection of writings because you want to read it, when you see it as a tool you can use for your own benefit. You are allowing me to bring my dream into reality by reading this and I cannot express in words what that means to me.
I do agree that is an extremely lofty dream, some may say one that is unrealistic. In fact, the first time I shared with someone that I was starting this project and what it was going to be, I immediately faced push back as to the reality of my dream, they were worried and didn't want me to have a dream that they saw as incredibly unlikely. They said this project did not have to be anything more than an expression of who I am, they wanted to help me bring my dream into reality, but to do that they had to see it as a dream that is possible. If I believe that however, if I believe this collection of writings has to be nothing more than an expression of myself, then all it will ever be is an expression of myself. If I do not believe the most impossible dream is possible, if I do not believe that I can make this a reality, then no one else will be able to make it happen, so it never will become reality. I believe that I can write a collection of writings that when completed can enable positive change for all, one that can reach the heights of the dreams I have set for it. I will not let the seeming impossibility of my dreams let this project be anything else. I will not let this dream be anything less in order to say I have reached my dreams. Until this collection of writings becomes what I have set out for it to become, I will not stop in its creation. So long as I draw breath, I can envision the reality where this collection of writings exists, and I will find that reality.
This goes for you as well; you have a change in mind that you want to enact in your life. What is the change that you desire, even if you cannot fully envision what it looks like yet or how it will happen, you need to believe that the change is possible no matter how impossible it may seem. I do not know how I will complete this project or what exactly life will look like when it is completed. Sometimes it is a change that we can see clearly, one where I drink more than two sips of water in a day, but then other times it is the change where I finish this project that reaches the loftiest heights and achieves the most difficult goals I have set. Whatever that change is that you desire, hold on to the possibility of it existing it with everything that you have. If you do not see it as possible, then it will forever remain impossible, you will create a conflict that can never be resolved. A reality that you do not believe exists, cannot exist.
At the bare minimum you need to believe that change is possible, that it exists within the unknown future that awaits us all. This is the first principle that is necessary to have this collection of writings be a tool that enables you to create positive change, you need to believe that the change you desire is possible. For me this principle means that I believe in the existence of a world where I create a collection of writings that will allow everyone else to change as they desire and through that individual change, that this collection of writings can enact change for the world in a positive manner. I believe in the completed version of this project being able to resolve all conflicts so that change can happen without resistance for all.
