Can We Change the World?

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

I open this post with a quote from Mr. Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa, because it perfectly describes what will be discussed. I haven't been receiving questions, etc. from anyone, but I still want to reach out to people, so I got a random question from ask.fm that I could write about. The question is the following:

How can you change the World? (yes, world was capitalized in the question on ask.fm)

After reading this question I automatically thought about the above quote. No matter how we want to change the world, we all have to be able to actually step up and DO whatever IT is we have to do in order to make sure that the changes we want to see have the opportunity to take place. Making changes can be done thousands of ways, each beginning with us.

So how can  I  change the world???? These are some things that I do that I think will allow me to change the world. Or at least begin to anyway...
- Reach out to people
- Talk to people
  > Whether I know them or not
- Be friendly
- Stand up for what I believe in (minor/major issues/situations)
- Be my own person
  > I can't help the world if I'm busy trying to be someone else.
- Give my time and making myself available to help out as much as possible
- Lend a helping hand and/or provide a shoulder to lean/cry on

The list will go on and on, because I am all for helping others and trying to initiate change in the world. As long as it isn't harming something or someone I am all for change. Without change, the world would be stuck in a pitiful routine and life would be unbearable. (yes, that's a little dramatic, but there has to be change every once in a while)

So my question is this, How can YOU change the world?
I'm curious as to what ways/ideas y'all have about changing the world and how you'd go about doing so. If you'd like, comment how you'd change the world and share your thoughts with me.

CHALLENGE:
This week I challenge you all to spark up a conversation with someone you DON'T know. Be safe about it, be in a crowded area, and make sure you're not in a vulnerable situation/area, then talk to someone you've never spoken to before. This could be the beginning of a friendship and you don't even know it. You can learn so much from other people. A hello, wave, and a smile is about all is takes to get someone's attention. When you have it, ask questions and start talking! The conversation may end up being the best you've ever had. 

Let me know about it all down below in the comments. I'm sure this'll be interesting.

                                                                             Have a great week!
