It's only today I was reminded of something I have forgotten... Why on earth did I even bother studying what I studied... My mission was to "save my family" from what I viewed to be unnecessary suffering. I had learned of ways to prevent some of the most common chronic diseases... But most didn't listen to me. So I decided to get a degree in nutrition, in hopes that the piece of paper was enough validation for what I was saying. I was hoping people would actually listen.
Strangely I forgot about my original intention... And strangely, I've found the most powerful means of influence I have is "influence without influence." Leaving space for people to come up with their own conclusions, and leaving space for people to make their own decisions... Somehow that allows for maximal change. It's like Doing without Doing... It seems like a paradox, but in many ways it's not.
I still hope the vision I once had is realized, at least partially. If I can, I hope to reach the people who want to be reached...
