Human Revolution

We’re all very familiar with revolutions like Green revolution, technology revolution etc, right? But do we know much about this term called human revolution? Well I guess, we may have heard of this once or twice but never really thought what this revolution is all about.

To begin with, let’s understand what revolution is. Revolution means a radical change at the most fundamental level in the way things have been going. Adding the word human to this, I’m sure we all can guess it has something to do with humanity. But is it something scientific..like a change in human chain or their basic structures or biological growth over a period of time? Well no! It is nothing of that sort. In fact, this term may sound complex, but it is something very simple.

Human revolution is a big dynamic change in the way we are, how we live, what thoughts and actions we uphold, what attitude we have and everything else that makes us, US! 😀

We all know, how easy it is for all of us to blame others, complain about the factors in the environment and constantly crib about the negative elements in our life, be it people or situations. It’s easy because that’s what comes naturally to most of us. But according to this revolution, change begins from us. YES, when we change our negative complaining attitude to positive and see what we need to change in the depths of our lives, we realize how everything depends on how we take it.

To make you understand it better, let’s take an example of a person who recently lost his job because of his being irregular to work, not fulfilling his responsibilities properly and his callous attitude. He finds another job, but again the same happens and he loses his job. He complains that his luck doesn’t favor him, gets dejected and gives up! But had he realized that it wasn’t his luck or his employer’s enmity towards him that he was suffering like this, but it was something inside him that needed to be changed at the very core that could solve the problem, he would have saved his job in the very first place itself.

Similarly, like this man, in the smallest of things, we look outside for solutions to our problems, that if my colleague was better, I would have done a great job, or if my family environment was a little more conducive, I would have done well in my exams, but hang on! Stop! See within yourself for a moment. Reflect that where is it that YOU are going wrong. And once you identify that, then undertake the correct actions to change it, and that too forever, so that you’re able to grow in a dynamic way with every bad thing that you change in yourself.

And the interesting part is that it’s an ongoing revolution, something we all need to go through our entire lives. When you instill in yourself the consciousness that it is my thoughts, actions and inner self that determines the course of my life, you’ll not just understand this term but actually start applying it in every single thing.

This reminds me of a line that I read somewhere which kind of explains what I am trying to say. The line goes like- ‘Yesterday, I was smart, so I wanted to change the world, but today I’m wise so I decide to change myself.’ So, as wise individuals, let’s all begin the journey of our revolution to changing ourselves to a more dynamic self!

Remember you can’t change others but you surely can change yourself, and that’s what matters the most. So, be the change you want to see! 😀

Happy human revolution to each one of you!
