Speak or Act – it’s about change

by Nic Haralambous on 20/06/2008

I watched an interesting film last night. Perhaps one of the best films I’ve seen in fact.

I felt inspired, I felt motivated and moved to change.

I wasn’t inspired to change anything in particular, just to move towards change, changing things, change as an existential concept and change as a tangible and achievable goal.

Then in other aspects of my everyday life I am faced with people who speak of change, you talk of change as if it is the next big thing. It’s not. Change is the biggest thing. Now. And guess what? It always will be.

Change is what great people aspire to and change is what great people achieve.

Change the way you write, talk, live, drive to work, answer the phone, your house, car or blog design, change anything. Whatever it is, we all want change.

I am not one to post rhetorical questions but let me ask, are you a person who talks about change or are you changing the world?

    Wow bro, glad my post helped someone discover the film!

    I definitely want to watch it again, think i’m going to buy it this weekend in fact.

    I’m usually one of those people who talks about change and rarely does, but this film definitely got me inspired to travel more. My fiance and me have decided end of next year we going back packing for a few months. South America hopefully. I think with this one i’m going to follow through and act upon my thoughts on change.

    You need to see the world before trying to change it :) It’s a good first step i hope.

    Wow – great response Mark, I think you hit it on the head, feel the need, see world, make the change.

    Brilliant. One little thing that the movie immediately made me want to do was read more poetry from the greats and discover more contemporary poetry.
