A Spark by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe from The Vision, chapter 64

Your life is already changing whether you take part or not, which is Innocent’s way of making change feel less monumental. The only real question is whether you get a say in the direction.

Having a say starts smaller than any plan. Hard circumstances push you into counterproductive thinking, and you end up derailing your own progress without seeing it happen. The moment those habits become visible, solutions become visible too — so the first move is only to “notice when you are going the wrong way, and stop”.

The evidence that a mind can move a world is already behind you. Same planet, same air, yet what you do now is nothing like what you were doing four years ago; your thinking shifted, your actions followed, your circumstances went along. “Change your mind, and the world (your world) starts to change.” Perceived limits stretch, and opportunities you couldn’t see before come into view.
