World-Changers Come in All Sizes

World-Changers
Come in All Sizes

For this revolution to succeed, we
need two types of world-changers:
• A few people spreading
revolutionary ideas to large
groups
• A lot of people spreading
revolutionary ideas to small
groups
Take a deep breath. Take a
moment to think about the
events that have changed your
life or your worldview in a big
way. What caused them? A
conversation you had? A book you
read? An experience you shared
with a friend? A speaker who
moved you? A class you attended?

If you feel called to reach a large
number of people - thousands,
millions, even billions - you can
do it.
The professor who stands at a
podium in front of hundreds
of students and talks about her
decision to pull her own children
out of public school, the blogger
who blogs openly about never
watching TV or the news, the
author who writes about her
abusive past and her journey to
recovery, the singer who comes
out as a lesbian, the actor who
talks about being vegan - all of
these people are world-changers.
They’re opting out of control
paradigm systems. They’re living
their lives openly, authentically,
and in alignment with their
hearts. They share by connecting
with others, loudly and indirectly.
In so doing, they spread the
revolutionary idea that you can
choose to live your own way.

If you feel called to reach asmall number of people more
personally, you can do it.
The mom who stays home to
unschool her kids, the man who
loves bowling with his friends and
is openly gay, the raw foodist who
has a home garden and invites
her friends over for dinner, the
former priest who tells his friends
about his journey away from
religion and toward spirituality
- all of these people are worldchangers.
They’re opting out
of control paradigm systems.
They’re living their lives openly,
authentically, and in alignment
with their hearts. They share by
connecting with others, quietly
and personally. In so doing, they
spread the revolutionary idea that

you can choose to live your own way.
