Closing Thoughts
Change is constant...
- sometimes it's for the better;
- but sometimes it causes more issues for groups of individuals
There are some things in our world that need to be changed, and there are others that are trying to resist changes.
The reality is....
- it's impossible to please EVERYONE with a single change; there are just too many varying opinions of what is important/valued in the world.
- BUT, it is possible to please groups of people with small changes
- AND, small changes, can lead to greater changes and possibly, a social paradigm shift, if it really catches on.
The point is...
If you see something that you feel needs to be changed, don't expect to make a massive change all at once.
- Change happens in phases, and begins by simply changing your mindset about the issue, educating others about it, and showing your passion by discussing your thoughts
- As more people get "on board" with your proposed change, the movement will grow and a greater change is more likely.
Just always remember...
Even the greatest social movements start small, so to get started.... simply Do Something!
