(So,) <\/span><\/b>You Want To Change The World?<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I think, on some level, many of us wish we could change the world; further, I am happy to report that many of us can … and, do!<\/p>\n

First, What do I<\/u><\/i> work to help to achieve?<\/span><\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

I have often, reluctantly, admitted to a life-long, strongly held hope, wish, and desire of my own – a deep seated need –                ……        ……   I want to change the world; it’s in my DNA<\/span><\/b>. <\/p>\n

I admit it<\/i>; I want to change The World<\/span><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I used to quickly add, with a sort of ‘shucks’<\/i> and looking at the floor … <\/p>\n

‘Yes, I know how arrogant it is to hope to change the world!’<\/b>.<\/p>\n

I am not The Savior and even with the greatest desire … I cannot change the world<\/i>!<\/p>\n

Or, can I?<\/b>   \/\\   Can you?<\/b><\/p>\n

Well, I thought, ‘The Savior will<\/b> come’ – and ‘He<\/span><\/u> <\/span>will<\/i><\/b> change The World’ [again]<\/span>.<\/p>\n

And, so, <\/span>until then<\/span><\/u><\/i><\/b> – for me – <\/span>the question for me<\/i> becomes<\/span> <\/span>– <\/p>\n

What Can I do To Help?<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

One of the Gifts given me by God is a heightened ability to recognize in honest and loving ways -‘truths’; and then to reflect them back in a loving and good light in attempts to support a persons’ progression [toward becoming a fully functioning person] (an old professor, non-religious, used to use the term … ‘Fully Actualized’).<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

For me, today, it is more of a growing in The Gospel [Progression<\/b>] – a lifelong process of moving closer to [and understanding] God [and adjusting ones’ life accordingly].<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

I use my sensitivities, my abilities to connect with people, my gift to see truths in both people and matters …. – always I use – to help, to heal, … to bring people together<\/b> in efforts to unite positive energies for good and right purposes [Gospel Principles and Purposes]. <\/p>\n

In short – I Work To Help People Grow<\/span>.<\/p>\n

This Blog is a growing, changing, tool to do just that – to help you [and me] to recognize truths, think about them, reflect upon how they impact our lives, and ultimately to use it all to help us all Progress.<\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

You CAN Change The World! <\/b>[and so can I]<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/b><\/p>\n

I’m Just Sayin’ … .<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
