If you are a youth with dynamic potentiality to change, please-‘Stop, Read and Think’

“The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth. All things are connected, like the blood, which unites one family. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. Man did not weave the web of life; he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”

Instead of ‘curing’ in the aftermath of social conflicts, we need to engage positively with them. As future decision makers, youth will need to internalize a social orientation and a regard for common spaces, so that they can become socially responsible decision makers in the future.

We feel that sustainable social change emanates from individuals. Change them or their orientation and the system will change. Long term changes will therefore be brought about by developing in young people the relevant values, attitudes and skills.

It’s a great philosophy, “To live is to be related – we have to teach children about life and that is to teach them about relationships.” This goes hand in hand with reverence for common spaces – the rivers, roads, sky and collective consciousness of society. Our objective is to enable individuals to leave the shores of their self-absorbed islands and voyage into the world of relationships.

To analyze our own potentiality as a youth we have to do S-W-O-T Analysis. It means analyzing our Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. It help us to create a better and practical change through our optimum initiatives for social change.

Youth must also be S-M-A-R-T in their proactive beginnings. SMART is the acronym of Specific, Measurable, Accurate/accountable, Reliable and Time-bound while implementing our short-term and long-term goals and planning in progressive and positive manner for the wellbeing of the entire community.

We must believe that the way to engage people into having a deeper and further horizon is to instill in them a respect for the journey and not only the fruits. This is possible by focusing on the skills of reflection, self-awareness, analysis, conflict resolution and citizenship.

To rub out years of learned collective wisdom, to shed old baggage that is very dear to us, to unlearn and learn again is an effort undertaken only by an inspired handful. So youth in action select the best option in building a new awakened community and inspire the rest.
