“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
― Anne Frank
Social Change is Everywhere.
I spent ten years advocating for parents and small business leaders. We set out to give Corporate America a run for their money, and we did just that.
Yay, us.
In the last 12 months I have shifted my advocacy efforts again. I know that I am not the only one who has felt compelled to use my voice for social change. Look around and you’ll see that this modern-day activism is more than a trend. It’s a paradigm shift. We are living in a transformation of astronomical proportions.
All it takes to become an activist is passion, knowledge and a desire to help bring about change.
Identify your gifts and talents that will open the space for new growth. The nation is undergoing a major overhaul and now more than ever there is a need for activists, change makers and social advocates. Positive engagement has impact. Your voice matters.
I ask myself every day, “How can I be better?”
The biggest change makers are not afraid to ask this question. It involves recognizing when your knee jerk reaction to any kind of injustice is getting defensive. If you are too consumed with protecting what you believe belongs to you, or with all of the injustices that are making you a victim, there is a good chance you have closed yourself off to your own power, and your ability to contribute to a better world. Look within. We are never really done growing. If you can change your own life, you have an opportunity to change the world.
“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”
― Mother Teresa
