Change the world


The difference between those who change the world and those who don't is that those who do believe they can.-Simon Sinek

I believe this to be true, and that is why it scares me.

In our society today as it stands, hardly any focus is being put on helping people realize that they can change the world. Yet we question why not everyone is not changing the world, it is simply because they do not believe they can. Our focus has been on finding out how we will change the world, which will not work.

Rarely in your life will you ever truly change the world in the way you imagined. While this may sound bad, I believe it is one of life’s greatest gifts. I believe that we are all put on the earth for a reason. Yet this can be discouraging for many people, because they road is rarely paved and the path is never clear. Every step that we take is a step in the right direction.

When we “fail” we lose faith in ourselves, when we lose faith we stop believing. This creates one of the greatest tragedies in life, when we stop believing we can change the world.

It is time we start to engage others to believe that they can change the world. We cannot do the work for them but we can help them believe. Start telling people what they mean to you and how they have changed your life, it will change their world. Let them know that you will support them, be a friend. If our goal is to truly change the world, we must give people the courage, belief and power to realize that they can too.

Go out and change the world
