Do You Want to Change the World?

Declare it.

If you really want to change the world, you must do it publicly.

Your closest friends may laugh.  Your family will think you’re crazy.  Your team members might roll their eyes.

Trust me.

Many will call you crazy, but along the way you’ll attract fellow Warriors who are waiting to follow someone with a vision.

People are waiting for you.

Let them know.

 

I want to change the world and after Steve Jobs died, this video brought tears to my eyes.  He narrated it.

I want so badly to use my one life for something really big.  That might make me crazy.

So be it.

Have a crazy night,

Aaron@Biebert

    The only difference between the crazies and the non-crazies is that the crazies dare to show up.
    Thanks for showing up Aaron. What are you going to do?

  • Perry (@DelphiUSA)

    Do you want to make a difference, or do you just want to fade into oblivion? I choose the former.

    Go for it, Aaron! All I want to change is my wife…

    Wow this is so inspiring. I really like the idea about making it public. After all, you are contributing to the human experience? Should it not be public by default? It takes a lot of courage and even a proclamation like that I believe is already pushing our human collective forward. Thank you.

    Betsy, I agree with you and I’m glad you’re here for the journey. Glad we connected.

    As for what am I going to do. I explain some of it here: http://8pmwarrior.com/2011/07/an-ultimate-goal-in-life-whats-yours/ and the next one after it.

    I wake up every day thinking about it. Now that it’s public, there’s no going back.

    Amen Perry!

    Thanks for the encouragement and jokes. :-)

    i think the best way to change the world is to change the mind of mediocre,though to him it might look crazy.

    Agree100%! Let’s all do everything in our power to change the world for the better! To do any less is a waste of time…

    such a great video! and inspiring post too. my heart echos your line, “I want so badly to use my one life for something really big”. I just moved to New Zealand 3 weeks ago. Let the crazy begin!

    We are the ones, right here, right now, with the power to change the world. The only question is, will we use it? Let me add my voice to yours with a resounding Yes!

    Aaron,

    This is fantastic! Right before I read this I was watching a series by Russel Shaw on Vimeo called ‘My Presence Matters’ – here is a link but http://www.vimeo.com/29863170 to one but you will find several more videos. Taking the tools, gifts, and passion that these individuals already possess – they are transforming their community.

    Complete amazing.

    Let us be the change!

    Susan, I agree. No reason to waste time…we only have one life.

    Thanks Dan!

    I’m not sure how you can change the world without it knowing, but some people seem to try. Others wait to make it public until they believe they can do it. Problem is that usually doesn’t work.

    I appreciate your comment.

  • http://8pmWarrior.com Aaron Biebert

    Mediocre think the great ones are crazy, great ones think the mediocre are crazy. It depends on one’s perspective.

    Thanks for the comment.

  • http://8pmWarrior.com Aaron Biebert

    Amber-Lee, thank you so much for that. Glad to see I’m in very good company.

  • http://8pmWarrior.com Aaron Biebert

    I wasn’t sure how that line would come off. I thought it might seem desperate.

    In the end, that’s good. I am desperate to make it happen. There was no other way to write it and I appreciate your heart echoing that feeling.

    Good luck in NZ. It’s a beautiful country.

    Let the crazy begin indeed!

    Jacqueline, I am proud to have our voices together. I am honored.

    Thank you for the encouragement.

    Thanks for sharing Russel’s videos and for the encouragement. I also love the Anne Frank quote. No need to wait!

    Thanks for the comment!
