We cannot change the world! This is the mindset and mantra of so many people. Most of them do not see that we can and we do every day; with every act we create a chain of events for the betterment or detriment of the world. How do we measure change? Is it in weight gain or loss in test scores or finances? Is it the eradication of poverty and hunger? What would happen if we lifted the limitations of our scales we chose to measure change? Could it free us to see real change happening all around us?
My personal and professional goals are one in the same. I have come to realize as I have left my twenties behind that I want a career that I can make my life’s work. I would love to be able to contribute to or create positive change in the lives of others, because it makes a positive change in mypersonal development. I have come to understand and totally accept my role as a fellow human, and instrument of social change. I used to believe that I made a series of mistakes in my life, by not deciding on a career path by the time I graduated college. Now I see that I had to experience life and take it all in, in order for me to understand what I truly want to do, and accept that I am still not done. I vow to never be done transforming and learning until I take my last breath. My life experiences have caused me to realize my social change potential including the realization that I can have a positive effect on a person, a community and therefore change the world!
