Purposeful Living - I Wanted to Change the World
Written by Ingit on May 26th, 2008
“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 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 changed the world.”

That’s where it should begin, right inside us first …
Am I living an exemplary life?
Do I want to get ahead of myself?
Dare I take the road less traveled?
Yes. Yes. Yes! Great …. We are moving closer to changing the world.
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold the new has come” 2 Cor 5:17
