How can you change the world?

How can you, and I mean YOU, change the world?  How does one person impact the world and leave it for the better?  How do you leave your legacy?

What you can do to leave the world a better place is to step up.  Step up and put some "skin in the game."  Idly talking about how "this person should do this," or "this person should do that," is complete BS.  "This person" is me.  "This person" is who I am and who I want to be.  To change the world, we need to be involved with the world.

This change can be anything.  It can be political or some kind of activism, which is noble.  Or it can be missionary work or volunteering locally, which is also noble.  Regardless of what you do, you need to do something.  Even when you think that the work you put in is not

worth it, think of it as a long term investment. 

Are you mentally and physically able to put yourself into the game, the game of world changers.  You don't have to be Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, or even Mother Theresa to change the world.  Your impact may be upon another life, and that life may change someone else's, and someone else's, and so on.  So you see, you don't know when you'll change the world, or how.  But know that you must be involved. 

Stop sitting back and idly watching the world pass you by.  Stop complaining about things that you "have no control over" and get in the game to make an impact on those things.  Put your name in to a voted position, even when you think you have no chance, you never know.  Spend time helping troubled youth, you may not know how you impact their lives.  Help people who have no voice in finding that voice. 

To change the world:

- Stop thinking that you can't do anything.
- Strengthen your body and your mind.
- Be nice
- Look at every situation as an opportunity.
- Do not be afraid. 

Fairly simple, don't you think?  It starts with a step, by you, in a forward direction.  We impact lives, and we change the world.  We do it as a team, as individuals, and as families.  Change the world, one life at a time.  

What are you made of?

What challenges you?  Do you ever really see what you can do either mentally or physically?  If you haven't, why haven't you?  If you have, what did you do with that knowledge?

For myself physically, it's the deadlift that I consider my challenge.  It's also a lift that I'm not terrible at.  It's widely considered the "king of the lifts" because of it's muscular activation and neural activation.  I enjoy the rawness to it, as it cannot be cheated.  My challenge with it is to constantly improve it without taking out any other aspect of my life.  Every time I attempt a max to it, my body is extremely fatigued for several days afterward, which I consider the worst part. 

Mentally I'm always looking for some type of challenge.  To engage this, I've decided to learn a new language (amongst several other things I'm doing).  The language I chose is Russian.  Unlike m
ore traditional languages such as Spanish or French, this uses an entirely different alphabet, which adds to the fun.  I've been on it for a little over 2 weeks now, using an app called Duolingo.  In truth, the goal for learning Russian will be to conduct business, with the MBA I'm working on, in the future.

I bring these both up because of the constant feedback that each provide.  The deadlift will tell me whether or not I'm able to do it, and it's simple.  The barbell either moves or it doesn't.  For the language, the app tells me when I spell a word incorrectly or identify a word incorrectly, which happens a lot.  But ultimately I feel that success will happen regardless if I keep it up.

What do you do to push yourself?  Most people fear this push rather than thrive on it.  They fear the failure, but forget that you learn from failure.  You don't learn from success, success only allows for goals to be set.

Identify what drives you, what challenges you, and what motivates you.  Decide on it now what you'll do about it and set forth on a quest to be successful.  You'll be all the better for it.
