How to change your world







                              By Bayo Ogunmupe
    You cannot overcome a drawback you ignore. Which is why 82 percent of the wealth created last year went to the richest one percent of the global population. Technology is developing faster than it ever has, but wars and conflict are still running rife. And for better or worse, a former reality television star, Donald Trump is now the president of the most powerful country in the world. And despite this craziness, most of us would still want to see positive change. We want the world to become better. But sadly, wanting isn't enough, you need to take action if you want to change your life and your world.
    And more importantly, change begins by you becoming a better person. Thus for you to change your world, be prepared to be inspired to take action. The world will say to you, "Be a better person." Be not afraid to say yes. You start by being a good listener. Start by being s better friend, a better parent, a better child to parents; a better sibling, a better lover, a better partner. Start by being a better neighbor. You can only create peace for yourself, you cannot create it for others. Find peace within you; hold it sacred, take it with you everywhere you go.
    You can always achieve the triumph of radical empathy. Be loving enough to know that just because someone disagrees with you, it does not make them your enemy. You may not win an argument, you may not change a mind, but if you choose to, you can always achieve the triumph of radical empathy- that means achieving a meeting of minds. Try and see yourself in others. Learn to forgive others by forgiving yourself. Don't be afraid to be part of the solution. We spend all the time thinking we don't have the power to change the world. We forget that the power to change the lives of others is always with us. Making change does not belong to any particular group, it belongs to all of us. Therefore start doing all you can to change your life. Taking action is the beginning of change.
    However, change without purpose is pointless. Purpose gives meaning to your life and the meaning comes from serving an idea beyond yourself. But how do you discover that if you were not born with it? The games we played as children are often a gateway to our potential, our passion where we can excel when grow up. Hidden in our childhood passions, are our gifts, the things we are naturally good at. Think back to find what treasure you can find there. If you don't have a job, how would you fill your hours?
      What makes you forget about the world around you is your passion. Being completely absorbed in an activity is the state of "flow" being talked about. Then, you lose your sense time and are completely caught up in what you are doing. For some of us, "flow" comes in the process of creating something new. for others, it's organizing an event or taking care of other people's needs. When you are so caught up, you forget about time, food and drink or where you are. The issues, blogs that attract you and ideas that you get worked up about, that you want to do something about are your passions.
    You change your world by what you tell people you spend time with. You are capable of changing the world of those you chew breeze with at your favorite bar. What is your bucket list, that is to say, what you want to accomplish before you die. Creating a bucket  list crystalizes your thinking on what you desire most in life. If you had a dream, could you make it happen? You must give serious thought to your dream. A dream is a valuable window that you regard as achievable, otherwise it would never have entered your mind. Think of many historical figures who made seemingly impossible dreams become reality and take a cue from them. Moreover, there is help everywhere. You don't have to know every thing yourself. And you don't have to do everything yourself. You can get help to make your dream come true. Analyze it, that your dream and your life purpose is probably one and the same thing.
