5 Ways to be fully present and make a positive difference in the world

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I want to change myself” – Rumi.

We live in a world of constant movement where not only the land moves but alongside people change, relations change, and above all human elements change. Even the human brain is so dynamic that it produces behavioral aspects that change at different time scales. We try to resist and move past this change often because we feel warmth in the constant. When we fail we try to move through it, but the result falls flat.

This is where the devil of negativity sweeps in, takes pace, and grabs us by its horns. We lose our stance and our presence becomes negligible. Stop right there! We are going wrong. This is where we need to start in a good place to make a positive difference to examine how we show up and discover ways to express our multifaceted human potential. This, in turn, allows us to bring out the best in others and promote global flourishing with a positive touch.

Attaining full presence comes with conscious states (the waking, dreaming, and the dreamless sleep) according to the Mā ūkya Upanishad. Human consciousness taps all these states of mind to create a pathway for the individual to receive maximum presence. Consider the conscious states like the sun, the brighter the sun, the more is the presence, the dimmer the shine, the lower is the visibility. Target the maximum light and illuminate the world with positive changes.
