Be the Change: Monty'man's Call for Compassion and Self-Reflection
Perhaps we should be the change we wish to see in others.
In a world quick to judge and slow to understand, Monty Dale Meyer, affectionately known as the Monty'man, offers a refreshing perspective on 'Take 12 Recovery Radio'. This episode, titled 'The Change We Wish to See in Others', tackles the all-too-common habit of passing condemnation on others. Monty invites listeners to consider a different approach—one rooted in compassion, humility, and self-reflection.
He begins by acknowledging how easy it is to criticize others for their choices, whether it's about lifestyle, appearance, or personal beliefs. Yet, he points out that such judgments often contribute to a cycle of negativity that doesn't help anyone. Instead, Monty suggests that real change starts with us. Drawing from the Bible, specifically Chronicles 7:14, he emphasizes the importance of humility and prayer.
The verse serves as a reminder that we can't change others but can certainly work on ourselves. Monty shares his own struggles with judgment and urges us to extend the same grace to others that we've received. Imagine what could happen if we chose prayer over argument, understanding over criticism. This episode is a heartfelt call to be the change we wish to see in the world, making it a must-listen for anyone seeking to foster a more compassionate society.
