Change & Transcendence by Pan Bourcier Hidalgo
When people hunger for change they romanticize chaos. It is fulfilling to theorize how this chaos will ensue. Many filmmakers over the years have successfully depicted a chaotic earth dystopia. It has become apparent over the years how important and necessary chaos is and how it is part of the cycle of change. I have many times felt like the bringer of chaos, having acted so many times as the catalyst. Most of the time when the chaos period has passed, I have been able to witness the situation (or person) reform in a stronger way because of the chaos that was endured. Many of us, if not all of us, crave change at the beginning of a new year.
The mistake that we make is that we expect a dramatic astrological reading, Mayan prophecy, or 
the flying spaghetti monster to bring about the change we want to see in our lives. There is so much that we can do when we take back our power and even more that we can do with others who have the same goals and passions as ourselves. We do not need to rely on outside forces to create the change we want to see or even wait in general for change to happen. There is so much power in daily practice. There is a very sad perception that many of us have, that we will be able to do something about our discontent tomorrow. What we tend to forget is that tomorrow doesn’t exist.
Transcendence
I have had so many people tell me over the years how I should do things and at the end of the day I figured out that I had to do what felt right to me; even if this did not make sense to anyone but me. Never let anyone place their limitations on you, always question everything, and approach everything as if you will master it AND transcend it. If you do these things not only will you master all that you do, you will also discover that there is something even better afterwards. The universe is infinite, what do you choose to master?
