Shakti Gawain Living in the Light workbook

"How can we take action to make positive change in the world: When faced with this cahllenge many of us respond in one of the following ways:
1. We become overwhelmed, feeling that nothing we an do will be of any use, and thus we do nothing.
2. Driven by consious or unconsious fear and despair, we adopt a cause or course of action. Then we struggle, fight, or sacrifice to try to 'save the world'. This way of going about things tends to perpetuate the very problems we're trying to solve.
There is another alternative. True transformation, on a personal and planetary level, is achieved as more and more of us listen to our own inner guidance and follow our own life flow, thereby fulfilling our life purpose and contributing to the wolrd through our greatest gifts. As we do what we love, we experience pleasure, excitement, and aliveness, and the world is enhanced by our very presence. From this energy, any type of direct social or political action we take is tremendously effective." Living in the Light Workbook Shakti Gawain
