If you truly want to make a positive difference in the world, the power is completely in your hands. You are the one who decides what to put your energy, time, and money towards.
Oftentimes when we start to build a career that involves helping the communities around us, we become discouraged and quit too easily. When we hit a speed bump, we simply give up because we suddenly realize how hard things are going to be. This is a very poor mindset to have, as it prevents improvement and change from occurring. We must start thinking differently if we ever truly want to make a difference.
In some circumstances, our fear of failure limits us and is the driving factor that forces us to quit. This is human nature, and everyone suffers from this at some point or another. We become so afraid of not accomplishing our goals that we decide it is best to give up and just not try at all.
In other circumstances, our fear of success is actually what prevents us from succeeding. If we are to succeed in changing the world for the better, some radical changes will then take place. Change can be very frightening, and many people become uncomfortable when faced with it. Although this habit is fairly common and normal, it is another one that must be stopped if we are to ever accomplish all of our goals as a society.
And, there are always the situations where life simply stops us. Life gets chaotic very quickly, and sometimes it is hard to keep up. Unexpected things happen, and we wind up getting side tracked and too busy to focus on what is right before us. This is an issue that is very difficult to control, but it must be addressed and conquered at one point or another.
Learning how to tackle life problems as they come at you and continuing to stay on track despite them is a skill that is not just incredibly useful, but also essential. If you look at the people who are truly successful, you will immediately notice that they are individuals who are able to consistently do this.
Being an unstoppable force also means that you are willing to leave your comfort zone quite frequently. You are okay with doing that if it is for the sake of your company or those around you. The most meaningful and rewarding things can usually be found outside of an individual’s comfort zone. A comfort zone is nothing but false safety, and you must warm up to the idea of working outside of it.
Being an unstoppable force for the greater good also means that you consistently make commitments that stretch you as a person. Additionally, you always abide by these commitments and stick to your word. You should try things that broaden your horizons, and that enhance the skills that you may not necessarily use as often as you should. It means that you commit to activities that inspire you, even if you do not have a lot of experience with them.
You may have no clue how you are going to wind up achieving them, but that is not the point. The most meaningful journey is brainstorming and discovering how you are going to accomplish what needs to be completed. This is where you will wind up learning the most, and this is where some of your most valuable skills will wind up coming from.
It means that you look at the adversities that you face not in a negative light, but in a positive light. You consider them to be ways for you to grow as an individual, and you jump at the chance to be able to conquer them. They really are essential for extensive growth and learning. Being an unstoppable force for the greater good means that you are so fully consumed by your passion to help the world, that if you find that you stop being this unstoppable force, you recognize that that is not truly who you are, and you seek to change it.
All of this starts with a powerful and life changing declaration. Then, once you make the personal decision to start being an unstoppable changemaker for the greater good, it will simply become a lifetime of practice. This lifetime of practice will include honoring the commitment that you have made to live a certain type of life.
