Had a friend of mine ask me this weekend, how she could change the world. Being one for extrospection (and introspection, I like spection in general) this got me pondering. How does one person change the world?
Passion , lasting change does not come to the apathetic.
Patience, lasting change does not come quickly.
Dedication, lasting change does not come easy.
Sacrifice, lasting change does not come cheaply.
Strength, lasting change does not come without work.
These are things I feel are needed in a person to change the world. How they use these traits are just as important as having them. From what I have seen,
The least effective burn with too much passion, they force their views down the throats of everyone around them. The with us or against us ideals, no compromise. Right here right now, everything or nothing. They force change.
The middling will listen to compromise, and try to lead from the front and coax people to come to their side. They teach change.
The truly effective, see the world as it should be and live their lives accordingly. Others see this and instinctively follow suit. Thus the change comes with out being realized. They are change.
