According to Martin Seligman, a renowned psychologist and clinical researcher, there are three levels on which to evaluate things: whether the event is personal, whether it is permanent, and whether it is pervasive. He states that pessimists believe that the bad events in their are their fault and tend to undermine everything in order for bad events to occur. Optimists, on the other hand, believe that defeat is a temporary setback or a challenge – it doesn’t knock them down. It’s amazing how change can occur when is aware and is willing to challenge adversity. And this is topic of this month’s 5th Edition of the Carnival of Radical Action hosted by Sudy at A Womyn’s Ecdysis – Change.

The difference between change and Revolutionary Change is its relationship to Truth. Regular change – shift in situation, alteration of state – transpires everywhere and anywhere. It occurs in the media, in our homes, in ourselves, and in our relationships. However, change becomes Revolutionary when heavy doses of honesty and past learnings are incorporated. Without truthfulness, there cannot be Revolutionary Change.

Is today the first day of the rest of your life?
