Become a life changer.....today!!

Deep inside, most of us have this yearning to change the world. We wish we could eradicate hunger or fund research to rid the world of malaria or be a master negotiator to bring all the wars to an end! We vicariously live through the lives of influential athletes, musicians and movie stars. We marvel at the powerful influence they have on people’s lives. We crave for the hypnotic influence some celebrities have on the emotions of the people around them, their ability to make them laugh or cry, their power to move people to take action for a cause or their sheer clout to make politicians and leaders to make decisions to better peoples' lives.

However, we also know that a wholesale ability to wield such power and influence is beyond the reach for most of us, no matter how much we desire for it. We submit to this realization and often recede to our shells and decide not to do anything at all. What is the point we think! We are, afterall relegated to live out mundane, ordinary lives, ever wishing that we could leave our indelible mark.

Sadly, in the process, we relinquish our power to influence and change this world in our own ways. We fail to realize that we have a lot more agency and power to change and affect people than we think. A word of encouragement from you has the potential to bring back someone from the brink...a strong and well-intentioned criticism can help build the character for a team member of yours...a few dollars donated to the right cause can save a child...a smile or a pat on the back from you is all someone needed to keep them going for the day. A short email of appreciation to a team member, who perhaps had a bad week, has the power to life up her spirits! A few minutes spent with a colleague of yours who is going through a personal crisis may inspire them to fight through. The opportunities are all around us! Become a life changer….today!
