Be the Change – Inspirational Video by Jay Shetty
Albert Einstein famously remarked in a
conversation with Werner Heisenberg he
said you know in the West we’ve got a
beautiful ship and in it it has all the
comforts but actually the one thing that
it doesn’t have is a compass and that’s
why it doesn’t know where it’s going
this paradox of our times was propounded
by the Dalai Lama when he said we have
wider freeways but narrower viewpoints
we have taller buildings but shorter
tempers Will Smith said that we spend
money we haven’t earned on things we
don’t need to impress people we don’t
like and it’s phenomenal how the same
technology that brings us close to those
are far away takes us far away from the
people that are actually close so a few
billion what’s that messages are sent
today but 48 percent of people say that
they feel lonelier in general the
paradox of our times is that we have
more degrees but less sense more
knowledge but less judgment more experts
or less solutions it was Martin Luther
King who said that the irony of our
times is that we have guided missiles
but misguided men have you ever found it
perplexing that we’ve been all the way
to the moon and back but we struggled to
start a conversation across the road or
I’ll cross the train and it’s amazing
that Bill Gates was known as the top
earner in 2015 with a wealth of seven to
nine point two billion but one in four
seniors claimed to be struggling from
depression and do we actually thrive off
this paradox is it that this paradox
actually makes the media interesting
it’s what makes journalism interesting
or what makes politics in sistering is
what makes television interesting is
this paradox actually what would feed
off and what we live off and what we
talked about and discussed in our
circles doesn’t it seem that we’ve tried
to clean the air but polluted our soul
we’ve split the atom but not our
prejudice and we’re aiming for higher
incomes birth we have lower morals so
I’m hearing you ask how do we bring a
change how do we dissect these paradox
that exists in our lives and it starts
by us each of us pressing pause pressing
reset and then pressing play again
taking a moment to become more conscious
taking a moment to become more aware
taking a moment
to really reflect on the consequence the
implications of a misplaced word of an
unnecessary argument that we all know we
didn’t need to have or to speak to
someone just slightly differently in a
different tone in a different voice in a
different empathy with a different
perspective just to really connect with
people in a different level this
thinking out loud started from Albert
Einstein I’ll track back to him when he
actually said that the problems we have
today can’t be solved with the same
thinking we used when we once created
them so actually we need to research
alternative teachings we need to deep
down dig into those ancient books of
wisdom we need to go back to
understanding if there’s anything
written in those creased pages of time
that can actually reveal more knowledge
and more wisdom of how we can transform
our experience of Lights today otherwise
this paradox means that every step
forward we came we’re taking three back
words every time I really want you to
get involved in this conversation in
this dialogue as we think out loud
together about our minds in this world
