The Power of Change
“Everyone thinks of changing the
world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” – Leo Tolstoy.
You want to make a difference in this world, right?
I’m no different from the rest of
you in this respect – in fact; I’m probably more likely to claim this
statement. Ever since I realized the mass potential of our lives, I’ve
sub-consciously carried a mission to change the world and leave it a better
place than when I found it.
However,
recently I’ve had a re-think.
This desire to change the world
all sounds very heroic and noble and grand. But is it possible? Is it really
possible to change the world, to make huge differences so that people hail us
and shower us with praise?
Yes and no. I think it is possible
to make a difference in the world, perhaps to a small handful of the world’s
population. But on the other hand, I don’t think it’s possible to change the
world. There’s a difference between changing the world, and making a difference
in the world, which is important to recognize because I believe you can do one
but you can’t do the other.
