MESSAGE #100 - HOW YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!

If you’re reading this blog – you want to do something BIG!

You want to leave your mark.

You want your life to stand for something.

You want to change the world.

Here’s some advice written by an unknown monk in 1100 A.D.:

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.

I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation.

When I found I couldn’t change the nation, I began to focus on my town.

I couldn’t change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.

Now, as an old man, I realize that the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family.

My family and I could have made an impact on our town.

Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have change the world!
