The Strive4impact Philosophy

I have got been raised to believe that I can be whatever I desire to be.

Growing up, I was always told that I could make whatever I wanted to do, and go whatever I wanted to go in life. This is because I was given the tools from a very immature age to seek to see the world around me with unfastened eyes and an unfastened heart. When I was in 7th grade, I saw a film called The Power of One. For many reasons, the film really acted as a combustible to a fire that I had; A strong desire to make the world a better place, and a belief that I could do it.

I have got been defeated in many ways over the past many old age by people's apathy, including my own. However, that have been equally matched, and very often surpassed, by the overpowering feeling of knowing that I cognize hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people who are really doing things to do the world better.

I believe I can change the world, now that I'm getting aged and better! What I have got learned is that I'm not going to be able to change things alone. We're all, globally, going to necessitate to come up to an apprehension that the human bosom is the same around the world, and when we larn to halt focusing so much on this thought that it's somehow 'them versus us', as individuals, as groups, as religions, as races, and as countries, we will larn how truly similar we are. This volition let us to observe our differences, and work towards a more than common, peaceful, and practical future.

Do Iodine believe this volition be easy? No. Bash Iodine believe it's possible? Absolutely! We're already seeing it. Unfortunately, it's often coming at the disbursal of other civilizations giving up their thoughts to American dad culture, but you can read more than about that elsewhere on this Strive4impact.com.

Call me an idealist, phone phone call me a hopeful, call me a dreamer. I give thanks you for all these compliments. Idealists, dreamers, and aspirants are those who have got got made the inventions which have changed the world. Imagine if person had never idealised that the world could be round; conceive of if Seth Thomas Thomas Edison had never dreamed of such as a thing as a visible light bulb; conceive of if Orville and Wilbur Willard Huntington Wright never hoped that they could larn to construct a machine that would fly. We would not be anywhere without hopefuls, idealists, and dreamers. There are those who would reason that warriors and economic experts alteration the world, but a warrior have got no weapons, if person hasn't first idea of them, and people have nil to buy, sell or trade without dreamers who create. Therefore, economic systems make not be without the inventions of dreamers.

Tell me it's impossible to change the world, and you supply me more than motivation. State me it will never happen, and I'll state you a story about a adult male working in the U.S. Office of Patents who in 1897 said, "everything worthwhile that tin be invented have already been invented." (No cars, no telephone system, no Internet, no email, no microwave, no television, small apprehension of electricity, no radio.) Basically, everything we see to be of import to our mainstream lives in America, he apparently considered to be not worthwhile a small over lone 100 old age ago.

I acquire demoralized along the way, and that's portion of why the Strive4impact doctrine is something that Iodine transport with me. I'm tired of getting discouraged by people telling me that alteration isn't possible, so I trust to hear from you who are doing good things, who are making positive alteration in this world a reality.

The other chief ground for the strive4impact doctrine is an effort to battle peoples' apathy, and to animate and inform those who are looking for some manner to make a positive difference, but don't cognize where to start.
