It is a daily thought at this point in time. The thought about myself and the many other people within this world. I ponder if I am doing enough to shake things up, this includes the pondering about others shaking things up enough or not. Sure, we have the select few individuals who come into this world and change it forever. Whether that be through the invention of cell phones or the internet. But, aside from those select few, what are the rest of us doing to bring about changes? What am I doing to bring about changes?
The echo of such questions ring in my head from time to time, especially when I find myself looking at what others are doing in this world. No matter where we might turn, social media is a place to find people who are doing things you seem to not be doing. We look at them and think that they must be living quite the life, the life that we do not have. A feeling is felt, not yet identified, but can no doubt be a negative emotion. Is it envy, or jealousy, or perhaps it is both. One thing is for certain, there is a desire, a desire to be a shaker and mover. The desire to change the world, but what kind of change would I want to bring. Would there be a difference between fame and infamy when both of them allow you to be well known. The first for the right reasons, while the other for the wrong. Either way, I wonder why people are drawn to both.
In all this, I have decided I want to change the world for the better. I want to enrich the lives of many people out there through the coaching I have set my mind to. It is my drive towards my doctorate and my desire to use it for something greater than myself – if I am afforded that opportunity of course. I still wonder about being a shaker and mover, and the answer seems simple to me. The world we live in could do with a shake up or two. Things could be better for us, but most importantly, things could be made better for the future generations that are yet to inherit this world of ours. Thus, my reason for wanting to be a shaker and mover, is to ensure the future generations have something to be happy about, and not something to have resentment towards us for having given them far less than what we currently have.
Even with all these great ideas and dreams in my head, there is a hesitation and anxiety about achieving these very notions. I often ponder if I have what it takes to make it happen, or if my shaking and moving is the actions I perform while I bury my ideas and dreams. Alas, even these thoughts have little time to grow, as I have to carry moving forward until I achieve something, even if it is only part of that dream at least it is something I have done to get that bit closer. Even when doubts consume us, it is always best for us to keep moving forward and never look back. One day, I hope, I will get to write with joy that I have brought some change to the world in my own way. Until then, I shall see you in the next one.
