YOU & CHANGE, THE DIFFERENCE THE WORLD SEEKS!


 Growing up I have come to realize one perception about CHANGE, especially that of the society. The society today has designed the concept of change to be an opportunity factor and what I mean by opportunity factor is that society believe that before someone can impact a change he or she must be of a certain standard, most especially of high standard like a Doctor, Minister, Pastor, Lawyer, and so on and on. Considering such societal perception, I have also come to realize that though CHANGE can be initiated by someone but to me not only of high standard but by anybody anywhere anytime.
          As a matter of fact, change is who you're and not what you're. There has been certain occasions where such high profiled individuals like the doctor, lawyer, etc.have tried to make a change in the society but to no avail. Have you thought of why it does occur so? No you've not or maybe it could be that you've but probably you overlooked it. Let's consider the definition for change as our case study and analyse it. "Change is act or process through which something becomes different". It is clear from the definition above that change has no specific agent but rather what matters is making a difference at end of the day.
          One day I was having a conversation with my best friend and I told him I will establish an NGO to impact CHANGE in the international community and guess what he said; He said " how is it possible for that to happen, you don't have any capital, any office or even the links to build yourself". So all I told him was "I don't need to have world bank in my house before I think of making a change." Come to think of it, every day different challenges are being encountered out there in various part of the world and these challenges need someone to turn things around the way it's supposed to be but let's ask ourselves ' Must we wait for a graduate, doctor,lawyer,police,pastor and other acclaimed people of high standards to make that CHANGE?' NO! It starts with you. Just as I stated earlier, CHANGE is not about what you are but who you are. Considering a Biblical perspective of CHANGE according to Romans 12:2a, where we are told "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by renewing of your mind." This gives us a clue that in order to make a difference the key agent is the MIND, that is why for instance when a 'sinner' regrets of his/her ways and decide to turn a new leaf, he or she is prompted to first have a CHANGE of MIND and total regret before he or she can be considered as a changed person. Also take note that you don't have to be a C.E.O of company before u can make a change or let's say a pastor before you can even win souls for Christ. Its only a matter of what you think and what you do to make that change or difference. So from these illustrations, you can attest to the fact that CHANGE is all about who you are and not what you are. Are you thinking of how to make that change happen? Here are three major key things I believe can help you make a difference today and beyond:
1. Think about a challenging situation around you.
2. Plan or strategize how you want to address that situation.
3. Act according to your plans and submit to no interruptions.
Having done this trust me start considering yourself as an agent of CHANGE. Remember even in the process of making CHANGE, things can be quite tough and challenging so be prepared to conquer and Survive. Believe you can do it So you must DO IT!
Be An Agent Of CHANGE Make A DIFFERENCE Today.
