Change-Maker

 How to become a Change-Maker


Have you thought about now what it takes to make a lasting impact in the world? How does one make a difference in their ideas, innovation, creation, and service? I have thought about the thing that makes people stand out, and why others don't stand out. I think it involves a couple things, but one of them is adaptability, and being able to think ahead, quickly, and think unselfishly. One of the keys to success I believe is to be always unselfish, striving to serve others before yourself.

I read a talk this week that was titled, "Are we not all beggars?" by Jeffrey R. Holland. It was really helpful to me to remember that we are all in the same boat in this life, just striving to make it back to our Heavenly Father. He loves all of us the same, and we all have similar needs to be met in life too. We have more similarities than differences in the end. The talk was about how we need to be more merciful to others, have compassion to people that are having hard times. I think this is a very important attribute to have as a leader and as someone who will make a change-be a Change Maker. Those who live significant lives are people that give more to others than they expect in return. It takes a lot of humility to get to this point, and hard work every day.

Another thing I think it takes to be a Change-Maker is to be unique, embrace your authenticity in creating something new that's never been done before. People often don't believe in themselves or their ideas just because they haven't seen it done yet before. But, all the great people in history that have left a lasting impact on us, and changed the world, have to be courageous to do something that was not done before. Just trust yourself, you have nothing to loose if your idea doesn't work! You will know after if it was plausible or a good idea then. You will never know until you try. 

Overall, I think that in order to make a significant impact in the world and in people's lives, you need to become different than others. You will need to be unique, authentic, and a great exemplar on how to lead a life of love for others. You will need to serve more than to be served to, and be humble, selfless, innovative, and quick on your feet if change is necessary. People who make great changes in business, society, people's lives in general, will be the ones who adapt these traits.

How to Discover Who You Truly Are

 Do you know what your passion is?     One of the things that I've learned this week is that you need take time to truly think about your life, where you are going, where you want to be, and how you want to get there. We need to map our goals out, and list 'stepping stones' that will get us there,-which can be different jobs, experiences/opportunities, volunteering, or other network connections, like meeting people. We need to take control of what happens in life, and not just go through life passively. When you know what your passion is, then you can take control of your life and feel your purpose. In order to have a fulfilling life, we need to take action steps to work towards building that purpose.     One of the things that Randy Pausch was able to do, was to live his life intentionally, following what I stated above. He challenged the things that stopped him, put a block in the road, and were an obstacle for him. He let his dreams move him and lead him to a...

Gratitude

 How to be grateful at all times Have you ever thought about why it's hard to be grateful even in hard times? Why do people say it's important to be grateful in times when life is hard? I feel like people often say that, but we don't hear the reason why it's important to be grateful, especially why to have that attitude in hard times. It's easy to be thankful when life's going well, and you have what you want, and nothing is changing too much. However, we forget all the sudden the good things we have, when something bad comes along all too often.  In the videos about an attitude of gratitude, and the readings that I had this week for my class about how to be grateful and positive, really helped me understand what it actually means to be grateful. We usually think of it as being thankful for what is happening in life at the moment and thankful for what we have. But, I think I learned that it means not letting those negative things that can happen in life, affect...

How to Dream

 How to Dream Big Have you ever thought about what it means to have a dream? What do you remember from when you were little, and said 'I want to be _____ when I grow up?' We often forget about those dreams when we grow older. Why did we have that dream when we were little, then? What is it about children that makes them feel like they deserve those dreams or that they are capable of achieving them? You have to remember when you were little and confident in yourself, to remember who you are really inside. Often, we can still really keep those dreams in mind when we grow up. When we keep those dreams, we can feed ourselves hope and a purpose in life. In order to grow your business as an entrepreneur, you need to think about the general theme and main reasons for your dreams that you had when you were a child. This can help you figure out what you really want out of your business that you are creating now, and why. This will drive your vision for your business today. I think that ...
