“The best way to change the world is in concentric circles; start with yourself and work your way out from there.”

Whenever I think of concentric circles I see an archery target.
As a kid, I had the terrific opportunity to go to Camp Indian Lake in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania every summer.
Archery was a skill we all had the chance to experience. Drawing the bow and setting our sights on the bullseye was always the goal, and no one ever got hurt.
Today, the thought of giving a bunch of 10-year-olds bows and arrows seems pretty crazy!
As an adult, playing darts fits nicely in this concentric circle concept, where the spokes and areas beyond the bullseye come into play.
EXERCISE:
How can you change the world by applying this concentric circle idea to yourself and the world around you?

1 年?? Phenomenal post! ?? Your perspective on initiating change starting from within is spot on. We often underestimate the impact of personal growth and self-awareness in making a positive difference. ??? I also believe it's important to complement self-improvement with actionable steps toward wider societal impact. By sharing our knowledge and experiences, we can inspire others to embark on their own transformative journeys. ???? Let's remember that change doesn't occur in isolation; it thrives through the power of collective effort. By connecting and collaborating with like-minded individuals, we can amplify our impact and create a ripple effect of change. ???? Keep inspiring and cultivating change, both within and beyond ourselves! ???? #PersonalGrowth #SocietalImpact #Collaboration

1 年Good illustration Barry. Applying this concept to changing the world, we can start by focusing on our own growth and positive impact within our immediate circles - family, friends, and community. As we expand our efforts outward, engaging with larger circles, we can create a ripple effect of change and inspire others to do the same. ??
