As we’ve been taught that only really special people like Martin Luther King, Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa are qualified to change the world. After all, it’s people like that who’ve received all the attention and praise for their amazing work. Throughout history, however, there have been billions of people who helped humanity to evolve and didn’t get any credit. All of these regular people (individuals like you and me) have collectively been responsible for about 99% of the positive change in the world. Meanwhile, the heroes we know about can probably only take credit for about 1% of the positive change. Yet somehow, we tend to think 99% of the positive change came from these heroes, and only 1% from the rest of us normal people. Rubbish! Since most of us aren’t brilliant or courageous enough to be the next Nelson Mandela, we instead choose a normal life. And in choosing it, we neglect our natural impulses to serve a grander vision. So instead of making a difference, we play small… In effect, we suppress who we really are. We settle for less than we’re truly capable of. We play it safe by pretending we are smaller than we really are. And if we’ve been pretending we are small for our whole lives, we start to believe our own lie. I’m here to remind you right now that you have a grand purpose! You are alive right now, at this super critical turning point in humanity’s evolution, for a reason. You have an important role to play in awakening and transforming our planet. And the beautiful thing is that you get to be your most authentic self in the process. That’s because there are as many ways to change the world as there are people alive on this planet.
