first KEY POINT

You hold the power to change the world

If you look around, you’ll probably see one or two things in your community that you wish could improve. It’s pretty clear that there’s always a possibility for change. Do you know what the best part is? You can be the one to make a difference.Many people think they don’t have enough power to transform the world. They expect someone else to find solutions to the problems the world is full of. They wait and hope for the government, religious institutions, or the media to do something. They ache for things to get better. But they need to realize that they can be the ones to make things different.The truth is, there are better ideas than sitting around and waiting for change to happen. To implement change for the better, we must begin with ourselves. Sometimes we think we can’t make things different because we lack things like money or fame. But this is not the right mindset — we hold the power to transform the world. But we must start with ourselves to get this process going.So, challenge your preconceived notions. The trick is to break free from this thinking pattern and start believing in yourself. If you think you’re not good enough to make an impact — break free from this assumption. You are powerful and capable.

After you’ve gotten rid of harmful thinking patterns, the next step is harnessing hope. According to John Maxwell and Rob Hoskins, active ambitions are essential for changing the world. It’s not enough to be optimistic. You must be a person of aspiration for yourself, others, and a better future.When you’re hopeful, your dreams will fuel urgency, which will, in turn, feed your desire for change and inspire the courage you need to take the first step in the right direction.
