“Be the change you want to see in the world” - Gandhi

    

    Change is not easy. It comes slowly, with risks, failures and criticisms. And in many cases, fear of them prevents us from taking steps to change. This first step is the hardest and scariest part of the process because it leaves you vulnerable. But it also opens the door to freedom and great opportunities. Making the decision to change is a difficult decision, and making the effort and staying on track is just as difficult and important, but as the saying goes, good things never come easy. 

    The first step in initiating change is recognizing the power within each of us. We often underestimate our ability to influence the world because we believe that meaningful change can only be achieved by those in positions of authority and influence. But history shows that ordinary people have the ability to cause extraordinary movements. When you understand your potential, you can take responsibility for your actions and take responsibility for making a difference. Change is not an overnight process. It takes dedication, patience and perseverance. It's important to break down big goals into small achievable steps. By taking action, even in small ways, you can contribute to the larger movement. Whether I volunteer my time, support a cause that aligns with my values, or advocate for change, every action contributes to the collective momentum for change. 

    Change is a call to action that begins within each of us, not a faraway concept or an abstract idea. We may be the driving force behind good development by recognizing our natural power, embracing personal growth, building empathy, taking action, and inspiring others. The beginning of change is with me, but it does not end there. It is a collaborative effort that demands the active engagement of those who are dedicated to making the world a better place. Together, we can make a significant and long-lasting difference, one step at a time.
