guys i love the idea...here s a story for ya that i actually told at graduation because I believe it with all of my heart...
A kid goes out and decides that he is goin to change the world...he goes out and does everything that he can to change the world...he goes and tries to help all the peoples of the world...he did everything he could to change the world but then he realized that the world was still in similar shape that it used to be
so as he got older he decided to just change america...he did everything he could to change america...he wrote letters to the president he wrote letters to congress..he protested things he felt strong about..he did everything he coudl to change the country...as he got older he realized that there wasnt that much of a difference
he decided to change his state...he did everything he could to change his state...he wrote letters to the governor...he joined groups that were state wide for causes he believed in..he did everything that he could to change his state...as he got even older now...he realized that again it wasnt having the kind of impact that he wanted
so he decided just to change his neighborhood...he visited all the people close to him...he helped elderly ladies across the street...he did everything he could to change his neighborhood but as things were people moved in and out and he wasnt making the kind of difference he wanted to...
as he was getting into his late years he realized that he had tried so many different things to change the world around him...he decided you know what ill just change myself...and as he changed himself he lived his life differently being the kind of friend he would like to have and the kind of person that he would like to be around...it was by changing himself that he actually changed the world..

Cool story Luke. A great example of how change should always start from within. I think we as humans (Americans especially) tend to "point the finger" and try desperately to fix everything around us. In reality, we're all in denial. Change ourselves and we'll change the world.
ok, so we're talking about changing ourselves, in turn, the world. So what about ourselves are we changing? I think the most important thing we can change about ourselves is the way we treat others. We are selfish, huimanity is selfish, but we can level up or down to one person a day without even thinking about it. Our outlook on other people is a big deal, i have learned that resentment is the number one offender of poor decision making...since im changing me, AND NO ONE ELSE, i wanna be kinder and less egocentric to all people all the time...one day at a time.
