How do I change the World?I liked this quote by Rumi when I read it. It reminded me of me when I was younger. When we are young, we think we are clever. We often have this vision that we can change the world. We want to be the one to change the world. We know just what to do. We have these great ideas and dreams.
And we need to do that. We need to have those dreams. We need to believe we can change the world. We need to have the young dreamers. We need to believe these dreams. Why?
Because as the quote in Season 2 - Episode 1 so passionately stated at the end
"Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
"Today, I am wise", Rumi goes on to say. As we get older, we tend to get wiser. My wife and I have had 4 Golden Retrievers. As they got older they started getting grey hairs on around their eyes and on their muzzles. We called the grey hairs their "wise hairs".
We have taken the failures, the lessons in life, the challenges we have overcome and have molded them into a sculpture, known as wisdom.
What is Rumi saying in this last part of his quote? "Today I am wise, so I am changing myself"
Is he saying - I cannot change the world therefore, I must change myself to conform to the world?
Or, is he saying - I must change myself and in that change, I can change the world.
What do you think? Go to our show notes page at Goal Getting Podcast dot com / s2e3 and tells us which of these Rumi was talking about. Should you give up trying to change the world and just change yourself to conform to what the world is? Or, should we concentrate on changing ourselves and in that change their could be the spark to change the world.
Are you wise? Do you have something you want to change about yourself that will inspire others? Will that change you make inspire you to do something more and the subsequent changes be what changes the world?
This season we are talking about my #WorkOnWellness goals. I will be sharing How I lost 40 Pounds in 16 Weeks and the current goal to get my A1C numbers below 6.0 and my weight to 185 pounds.
Just to give you a representation of my weight at the top when I hit 296 pounds, the most I have ever weighed, I included a picture on the show notes page at Goal Getting Podcast.com / s2e3.
In today's episode, we are going to start reviewing The HOW of the 3 Keys to Goal Setting Success. The How consists of these two of the 9 Steps To Successful Goal Achievement:
With all goals, there must be action. There is something you must do in order to achieve the goal. We must be able to quantify these steps and track them.
Tom Peters, well-known Author and Speaker says:
What Get's Measured Gets Done."
We must track the steps we are working on to ensure the completion of those steps. Keeping track of the progress of these action steps will assist us in keeping up motivated. They will keep us going in the right direction toward our goals.
Last episode we discuss The WHAT. Setting Clearly Defined, Written Goals.
Today we will be discussing The HOW - Creating the action plan with specific actions you must complete to Get The Goal You Set.
The HOW contains two parts. The HOW section on the Goal Getting Worksheet and the Goal Setting Maintenance Worksheet.
Go get your copy of the Goal Setting Worksheets. Download it from Goal Getting Podcast dot com / action if you haven't already.
There is a link to the Goal Setting Maintenance Worksheet on the Show Notes Page at Goal Getting Podcast dot com / s2e3
Goal Getter - Goal Measurement Worksheet GoalsPodcast
In the Goal Setting Worksheet you will see blocks for the The What, The Why and The How. You should have completed The What already after listening to Season 2 Episode 2. If not, yo will want to go back and listen to that episode.
When we complete the worksheet, we are using handwriting, not typing into the sheet. I explained the reason and need to use longhand, cursive handwriting for these tasks in the last episode as well. So get you a pen and the paper, I know, so old school, but it works.
On the Goal Setting Worksheet, in The How section, we are going to list the top ten most important actions steps.
The Goal Maintenance Worksheet will be used to track the specific daily tasks we will do each week to accomplish the goal. From this worksheet, we will be able to track the progress we make each week.
In this Episode let's focus on The How section. To define the action steps we have to understand what it takes to achieve the goal. I had to learn what I needed to do to lose the weight I needed to lose. When I started the competition at my office, the goal was to lose the most percentage of body weight. That's vague and arbitrary because you don't know what each person is going to do each week. What I had to do was define a target weight that would most likely give me the highest percentage. Based on the known factors - who was in the competition, what they likely needed to lose, and what I thought their motivation was.
That's too many variables, so I set my goal to be realistic and measurable. My starting weight was 250 pounds. I wanted to weigh 210 pounds by the end of our competition 16 weeks later. That was a 40 pound weight loss in 16 weeks.
Let's look at the elements of weight loss. It is a simple process. If it was a special fad diet, I would call it the L & M Diet. That's eat Less & exercise More diet. The ultimate way to lose the weight is to burn more calories than you consume.
What did you eat today?What is your typical caloric intake in a day?
You might be surprised. I was. When I started looking at what I was eating in a day and how many calories I was eating with each meal, I was flabbergasted. I was flabbergasted to learn why I was flabby!
Just to give you an example: I used to travel a lot. As I've told you before, I didn't take care of myself when I went out-of-town. I would go out to eat after a long day at work and enjoy a nice dinner. One of my favorite restaurants to eat at is the Cheesecake Factory. Outside of the obvious, they are a favorite because they offer a wide variety of foods. I can get a different type of meal each time I eat there, even if I eat there every day of the week when I am out-of-town.
Cheesecake Factory Meal Idea with Calories
Item - Calories
Beer - 150 - 2 - 300
Bread with Butter - 600 - 1 - 600
Cup of Soup - 310 - 1 - 310
Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Chipotle Mayo - 1380 - 1 - 1380
Original Cheesecake - 710 - 1 -710
Cafe Mocha - 420 - 1 - 420
Total Calories for Dinner: 3720
That is outrageous. When I found out what I was eating in a single meal, I was surprised. Not pleasantly surprised either. That is just dinner. That doesn't count breakfast or lunch or any other snacks throughout the day.
Based on that and the other items I knew I typically consumed, I was pushing close to 10,000 Calories per day.
I get a lot of my quotes from great books that I read. And if you like to listen to books on Audio like I do, I put together a deal with Audible to give Goal Getting Podcast listeners a FREE Audiobook of your choice AND a 30 Day Trial of Audible's service to try them out.

The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.~ Albert Einstein

[bctt tweet="The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking. ~ Albert Einstein"]
Thoughts become thingsWe are who we are because of what we think. The only way to change who or what we are is to change our thinking. One of my favorite websites is TUT.com and their motto is
Thoughts become things - choose the good ones.
This is very true. We are what we think. We are what we say we are. Negative self-talk is negative programming into our subconscious mind. When we are think about things, we should always be thinking positive, success-oriented thoughts. You have a choice over your thoughts. You control who you are by the thoughts you think. Choose the good ones. Go check out TUT.com and register for them to send you positive good thoughts to your inbox.
Today we will talk about starting our #WorkOnWellness journey. As we #WorkOnWellness, we are going to change our minds thoughts about what we want. We are going to talk about our goals for wellness
If you have your copy of the Goal Setting Worksheets I mentioned in our previous episode, follow along. If you need them, go to GoalGettingPodcast.com/action and pick them up. Pause the show now and go get them and when you come back we will get started.
OK, you have your worksheets. Let's look at the top of the page. As you see, we have three sections. These are the 3 Keys to Goal Setting Success.
This Goal Achievement Success System tool is designed to help you define The What, The How and The Why for each major goal you will set.
Today we are going to focus on The What - What do you want to achieve?
Did you set New Year's Resolutions? How's that working out for you? At the end of February, most people have already started to forget or quit their New Year's Resolutions. Why?
They didn't set them as goals. They just said they resolved to change or do something. As we get into the 3 Keys to Goal Setting Success, you will start to understand why they don't work.
Defining The What - what you want to achieve requires the following steps from the 9 Steps to Successful Goal Achievement.
Napoleon Hill explained in his book, Think & Grow Rich, that the most successful people of his time had Clearly Defined Written Goals. Most people don't write their goals down.
Most New Year's Resolutions are not written down. Most New Year's Resolutions are not clearly defined. What was your New Year's Resolution? Was it To Lose Weight? Was it To Live A Healthier Lifestyle? Was it to get a new job?
When we write our goals down, when we define The What, we want to use clearly defined speech. We want to be specific about what we want. I like to say "Specific is Terriffic". You will see that on the upper right corner of the worksheets. Specific is the S in SMART goals.
Be RealisticBig Hairy Audacious Goals are important. Your goals should be set outside of your comfort zone. You want to dream big! You want to stretch yourself. You want to make it hard to achieve the goals.
But, you don't want to set unrealistic goals. Realistic is usually a time constraint or an ability constraint. If you set a goal to graduate from college in 1 year, that is probably unrealistic, for most people. Graduating from college is an achievable goal. Graduating in one year without having started any courses is not likely.
Your goals have to be achievable. Be Realistic is the A in SMART Goals as well as the obvious R. To me Realistic and Attainable are essentially the same thing. If they aren't attainable then it's usually unrealistic to assume you can achieve them. If the time frame you set to achieve them isn't a realistic time frame, than they would be unattainable. This is why we have only Be Realistic as one of the 9 Steps.
Set A DeadlineA dream without a deadline is only a wish! This is the T in SMART goals. T is typically set as Time-bound. You must have a defined time you are going to achieve your goal by. Creating a deadline puts a sense of urgency. It puts a finite end to what you are trying to accomplish. Without a deadline, there is no hurry to achieve. You will get to when you get to it. That's not a goal, that's a wish.
Let's Get Started WritingTake out your Goal Setting Worksheet and a pen. Yes, I said a pen. You didn't think you were going to type it in did you?
We want to hand write our goals on the worksheet. We want to hand write them in cursive, in longhand. What? You don't know how to do that? I understand they are no longer teaching that in schools. Bad Mistake.
We use cursive in the Goal Achievement Success System because the process of handwriting doesn't take conscious thought. At least not as an adult and most kids don't have to after they learn how. The process of handwriting uses the autonomic nervous system, much like riding a bicycle. Once you learn, your body is conditioned to do it. The subconscious mind controls the process. Just like breathing. You don't have to think about breathing, you just do.
In The What box let's start writing down what we want to achieve, careful to use all of the steps.
Here's the example of WHAT I want to achieve for my primary goal:
I want to reduce my A1C numbers to below 6.0 by July 1st, 2016. I will achieve my goal weight of 185 pounds by December 20th of 2016. I will have a 34 inch waist by this time and be able to see my abdominal muscles without all of the fat.
The What for my primary goal is Realistic (and attainable). A deadline has been set for the weight loss that is realistic. A deadline has been set for the lowering of my A1C. I know it's realistic. I know both of these deadlines and this wellness goal is realistic because I have lost 40 pounds in 16 Weeks. When I did that, I had lowered my A1C to below 6.0. I know it is possible. It will be a stretch, but I know it's achievable.
If I DO what I need to DO to achieve it. That's The How and we will talk about The How on our next Episode.
What is your What? What do you want to achieve? I'd like to review Your What. I'd love for you to email me, or better yet, comment on the show notes page at GoalGettingPodcast.com/s2e2
Write down your what in the comments section or send me an email with it to Tony at Goal Getting Podcast dot com
OK, you are on your way to your journey to #WorkOnWellness.
I'll see you back next episode on Goal Getting Podcast.

Welcome to Season 2 of Goal Getting Podcast! This is Tony and I want to thank you for visiting Goal Getting Podcast. Today marks the One Year Anniversary of the launch of Goal Getting Podcast.
People may say we're crazy for trying to achieve our dreams. Has anyone told you that? People may call you names, say you are weird for trying to do what you want to do, right.
Today's quote from Rob Siltanen reminded me of these people. But, the best part of it reminded me of people like you and me.
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. ― Rob SiltanenWe talk about using the Goal Achievement Success System (GASS) to focus on my primary goal this year, which is Wellness. I will be Working On Wellness. I will be using the hashtag WorkOnWellness ( #workonwellness ) on social media. You can follow me using the hashtag #workonwellness.
We will be using the Goal Achievement Success System that I created to help people Get The Goals They Set. Listen to the show to learn more about putting GASS in your Goal and Powering Yourself to the Finish Line.

If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse.~~ Jim Rohn
The truth hurts, but it's still the truth. This is a quote from one of my best friends, Bud Malmstrom. What Jim Rohn says here is the truth!
How bad do you want it? My last guest at the end of 2015 was Amanda Bayerle. She and her husband, Nickolas recently started their podcast, How Bad Do You Want It? It's a great podcast that talks to people that had dreams, goals and desires and they did what it took to achieve them.
Do you have what it takes to get the goals and dreams you set? Will you DO what it takes to find a way to achieve your dreams?
I often talk to a lot of people about the goals they set. I listen to a lot of people that want to do something. More often than not, most of the people I speak to about their goals they find a lot of reasons for why they can't achieve them. They just don't have time. They don't have money to start the business they want. Their family doesn't support them. It takes too much time to be successful.
Do you make these types of excuses? When I tell people that I get up at 4 a.m. to go to the gym or to start working on my podcast, they look at me weird and say, "
"Whoa, that's way too early for me. I can't get up that early."
When I tell them I stay up until 10 - 10:30 at night, or that I spend my Saturday and Sundays working on my podcast, they ask,
"How can you do that?"
What they don't understand is I want to be a podcaster. This is the method I have to share my message. I want to be a paid motivational speaker. I want to help people achieve their goals and dreams. Since I do have a full-time job, too, I have to FIND the time to do what I want to do. If it means I have to get up earlier or stay up later, or spend weekends working on creating my shows, then I do.
They just don't understand. But they don't need to. It's not for them. If you want something bad enough, you will find a way. Check out the last Quote of The Day, qod202, where I talk about people that don't understand.
I have a lot of friends and mentors that have succeeded because they did what they needed to do to get there. They didn't make excuses for not being able to do it.
If you want something, find the way to get it. Do what it takes, do what you need to do.
Go Out Today and Do What You Need To Do To Get What You Want
Thank you for listening to Goal Getting Quote of the Day. This is the last of Season one. We will be starting Season 2 of Goal Getting Podcast in the next episode. I am going to be focusing on specific topics throughout Season 2. We will start with one of my top goals for this year. I am Working On Wellness in my own life. If you've been listening, I have Type 2 Diabetes. I became diabetic because of bad decisions I made in my life as I worked on other goals.
I didn't take care of myself when I was working on my career goals. I worked hard, traveled and spent a lot of time on the road. I was very successful at achieving my career goals. However, in doing so, I ate poorly, didn't exercise enough and eventually ballooned in weight to 296 pounds AND developed Type 2 Diabetes.
I know there are a lot of you that have done the same thing. We concentrate on our goals, our careers and forget to take care of ourselves.
The good news is I started working on my weight. I went to work for a Bakery and wore a 4X smock when I started. 2 years later I had dropped 3 sizes down to a 1 X. How did you do that working at a Bakery people ask me. Keep listening to Goal Getting Podcast and learn how I lost 60 pounds working in a bakery.
After I left the bakery, I moved to San Francisco, again working on my career. I gained 15 pounds within a year. With a new career and more money, I went back to some old habits. I decided to enter a weight loss contest at work. It was a 16 week contest and I wanted to win. I didn't win. I took second, but I did lose 40 pounds in 16 weeks. How did you lose 40 pounds in 16 weeks you ask.
Listen to Goal Getting Podcast Season 2 to learn how you can lose 40 pounds in 20 Weeks. I'll give you about 4 more weeks to do it.
After losing that weight, I let old habits slip back in and now I am back on track to not just lose weight. That will be a byproduct of my true goal I have set for this year.
What is my goal for this year? Listen to Season 2, Episode 1 to learn The What, The How and The Why of my Work On Wellness Goal for this year.

It was shared by my friend on Facebook, Tom Reilly

Sometimes the people around you won't understand your journey. They don't need to. It's not for them.~~ Joubert Botha
I want to thank my friend on Facebook, Tom Reilly for sharing this quote. I find a lot of my quotes on my Facebook feed. Why, because I follow a lot of positive, entrepreneurial, inspirational people. Most of us think the same way and believe that quotes can help inspire us and keep up motivated as we strive to live our dreams, achieve our goals and become more than what we are today.
I know you feel that way or you wouldn't be here listening to me today. If you want to follow our Goal Getting Podcast Facebook Page, you can search for us on Facebook or go to www.Facebook.com/goalgettingpodcast or just click on the link on our show notes page at goal getting podcast dot com / qod202.
Joubert Botha is an entrepreneur and business coach. He is the founder of Hashtag Radio and other businesses. He has been on the journey many times. I am sure he encountered many people that didn't understand his journey. They didn't understand why he was on that journey. They didn't understand his WHY, his motivation for striving to create the businesses he was trying to create. You can learn more about Joubert Botha by connecting to the links on our show notes page.
Are you on a journey? Are you in the process of reaching for your dreams? Are you working on goals this year? Where are you headed?
We refer to goals, dreams and growth as a journey. Why? Because it is more about the trip to get there, to many of us, than just the destination. Achieving our goals and dreams often takes time. It always takes some work and often some sacrifice. Why would anyone give up their spare time to work on a side business? Why would people give up high calories, great tasting food and deserts just to lose a little weight?
People will not understand you and your motivations. They will not see the final picture that you see. They will not see the vision you see.
What Joubert Botha is saying here is so important for YOU to understand. They DO NOT NEED TO Understand. It's not for them.
The journey you are on is YOUR JOURNEY. It is not for them. It isn't their journey. You cannot make them understand why you do what you do. They don't have to know your Why. It's Your Why!
If you want to hang around people that understand you and your journey, then you need to find them. Napoleon Hill spoke about the need to find like minded people to bounce ideas off of in his book, Think and Grow Rich. Mastermind groups and Mentors are key to helping you grow and build a business and or idea.
You can pick up a copy of Think and Grow Rich in our Success Library on Goal Getting Podcast.com / library
Do you have someone to share your vision with? Do you have ideas that you want to bounce your ideas off of? You should find a Mentor or a Mastermind group. Mentors are people that have the success that you want to achieve. They are people that have the desire to help others achieve their goals and are willing to share ideas, information, advice and accountability.
I didn't realize the importance of this when I was younger. I wish I had understood it. But I know now. You can search for and find Mentors and Mastermind groups with like-minded thinking that are willing to help you. They understand.
I have created a private Facebook group for you to have a mastermind group to share your ideas.

If you don't like change, you will like irrelevance even less.-General Eric ShinsekiThis sounds like a snarky comment from General Shinseki, but it's said with a large does of the truth. Let me tell you a little about General Shinseki.
From Wikipedia: Eric Ken Shinseki (/ʃᵻnˈsɛki/; born November 28, 1942) is a retired United States Army general who served as the seventh United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs (2009-2014).[4] His final U.S. Army post was as the 34th Chief of Staff of the Army (1999–2003). Shinseki is a veteran of two tours of combat in the Vietnam War, in which he was awarded three Bronze Stars for valor and two Purple Hearts.[5] He was both the first Asian-American four-star general(1997) and then the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.[6]
I have a great deal of respect for General Shinseki and for all members of the United States Armed Forces, those serving now and those who have served. I have many close friends and family members either in or out of the services. Thank you all for your service.
I served 7 years in the Army National Guard. I served between 1976 and 1983. It was peace time. I had it easy.
If you are not from the States, you should probably thank the military in your country as well.
Now that I've said that, let's get back to the quote.
Change is tough for some people. I have been in Information Technology for many years. I have worked in change management when we brought in new technologies to companies. People get used to doing things the way they want to do them, the way they've always done it. That's one of the worst things you can say to most people in the technology field. "That's the way we've always done it."
General Shinseki states very truthfully,
"If you don't like change, you will like irrelevance even less."What does he mean by this. Well, the world is changing. If you don't accept change, no, embrace change, you will have to deal with irrelevance.
How many of you remember Smith Corona? How many of you remember the IBM Selectric? What am I talking about? Typewriters.
How many of you have used a typewriter?
How many of you have one in your home? Would you believe that people used to have 1 or more typewriters in their home?
If you don't remember Smith Corona Typewriters; well that's because they don't make them any more. Once the premier typewriter manufacturer, the company makes labels for bar codes. They became irrelevant. They did pivot and changed, which is a testament to the company.
It also reminds me of a site visit I did to a major mortgage lender in 2003. I was in the process of implementing an electronic content management solution for our mortgage company. Our goal was to go paperless. We visited this lender that had achieved the goal we wanted to achieve.
During the tour of their facility, we were amazed that we didn't see a single filing cabinet in their office. Well, actually we did see plenty. They were all piled up in one of their conference rooms, but they were all empty, getting ready to go to a scrap company.
All our their lending employees were using electronic documents and processing and underwriting on their computer screens. Only one piece of paper was printed, because the FHA required a signature of the underwriter on it. Once it was printed, the underwriter would sign it, stick it in a bin on their desk. The papers would be picked up several times a day, scanned and then shredded.
When asked how they managed to convince their staff to get used to this, they answered, "Most everyone realized that it was more beneficial for the company and themselves to work this way. We did have one underwriter that couldn't change the way they did things."
"How did you change their mind" we asked.
"We didn't. They don't work here any more."
You have to be able to change these days. You have to be able to pivot. This is true in business and in life. If you cannot change. You will be irrelevant at some point.
"If you don't like change, you will like irrelevance even less.
[bctt tweet="If you don't like change, you will like irrelevance even less. ~~ General Eric Shinseki"]

When you're finished changing, you're finished.-Benjamin FranklinWhat Ben Franklin was saying here isn't that just because you're finished changing, you're finished with the need to change. What he's saying here is that you're done. Kaput. As good as dead! Is that over simplifying it? I don't think so. My role is to be part of your accountability team.
If you think change is over, then it's over because you choose that course. You choose to be the same as you are now, FOREVER. If you choose to be finished with change, with growth, than you are f i n i s h e d.
I am a firm believer in growing, in changing. We are human, we are alive. Living things must grow. They change. My oldest friend, Bud Malmstrom, has what we call Budisms. A Sensei in martial arts, specifically the Bujinkan Ninpo Taijutsu system, Bud taught us that "Without Change, There is No Growth". As a living creature, we need to grow. We need to change.
We are always changing, growing. Until we die! At that point in time. Growth, Change stops! If you are finished changing, you're finished.
I am celebrating another birthday next week. I have grown much in the years I have been alive. I don't expect to stop changing or growing. Until I die. I still have a lot to do in my life. I still have goals, dreams, wishes. If I was perfectly satisfied with my life, I wouldn't be satisfied with change. I would want to be better. I would want to help others be better,. I would want to help others grow. I would want to help others change.
I want to help you to change. I want to help you Get The Goals You Set. I'm not finished yet and neither are you. You wouldn't be listening to me if you were.
What do you want to change?
What do you want to change?
My major focus of change this year is wellness. I'm not alone. It used to be that Losing Weight was the top New Years Resolution. This year, it dropped to #3. The #1 New Years Resolution is according to the White House and ABC News is:
To Live Life to It's Fullest.
Number 2 is To Live a Healthy Lifestyle.
Number 2 is "closer" to where mine is.
If you've heard me talk about New Year's Resolutions, you know they don't work.
Resolutions, at the beginning of a new year or any other time, for that matter, DON'T WORK!
Why? Look at them. They are vague and non-specific. They don't follow any of the characteristics the 5 minimum requirement (SMART Goals) to be successfully achieved, much less the 9 Steps To Successful Goal Achievement that I recommend in my book of the same name. You can pick up your copy on Amazon by clicking on the link here.
Let's look at the change I have for this year as I #WorkOnWellness as my goal, not as my New Year's Resolution:
I will work out and eat healthy enough to lower my A1C to below 6.0 by July 1st and reach my goal weight of 185 pounds by the end of the year.
There are more specifics to what I believe a "healthy lifestyle" is for me in The What section of my Goal Achievement Success System that I have written down. Along with The What, I have also created The How to define what action steps I must take to achieve that goal. The action steps are the specific and measurable steps I must do in order to achieve The What. The last step was to know The Why. Why am I wanting this change? Why do I want to live a healthier lifestyle?
If you know your why, your motivation for wanting to make the changes, you will be able to fight the battles that will happen when your subconscious mind and other start playing for the other team. You will be able to overcome those negative thoughts that make you want to quit, to Be Finished.
I don't think you're finished. I think you want to change. Whatever that change is, we are here to help.
Let us know what your change is. Let me know what we can help you change. I know you aren't finished. I'm not finished. Let's make the changes together.

Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.-Leo Tolstoy
Everyone wants to change the world. If pageant winners are interviewed they all want to change the world. They want world piece. They want to fix global warming. Most people believe that changing everyone else will make the world a better place.
Maybe Tolstoy has it right. No one thinks about changing themselves. What if we changed ourselves? Who would that inspire? What they be inspired to do if we changed ourselves?
If we made a drastic changed to ourselves that was amazing and took great courage, great skill, great perseverance, that could be the inspiration for the next big thing.
What if the change in you sparked the creation of the cure to cancer or the next sustainable energy source? What if what you changed about yourself made someone feel good about themselves. Maybe that would be enough. Maybe making someone smile was enough.
Don't worry so much about changing the world until after you think about the changes you can make to yourself.
