hey this is Leo for actualised org and in this video we're going to talk about how to change the world alright so this is a deep topic pretty big topic but this is a quick self-help segment so in about 15 minutes I'm going to cover my key thoughts about how to go about starting to change the world if you're listening to this and and you're interested in this idea that I applaud you because many people out there are so concerned about themselves so caught up in their own problems in their own emotions in paying the bills in looking good in front of their family or in front of their friends or living up to society standards that they are really not even thinking about ways to change the world to improve the world and I think that that is going to be a major shift that happens in the next century in the next hundred years is that more and more of us as we're getting our basic needs satisfied are going to start to ask the question of what is there beyond just living a comfortable kind of life where we're secure and we're safe what is what is the next level of evolution from that and that is the self actualized life that is the purpose driven life that is the life where you are very clear about the kind of impact that you want to have and you're very passionate about committing basically your life energies towards creating a better world in whatever kind of way that is and that can be in subtle ways or it can be in very dramatic ways so a dramatic way might be to go out there and to start a company that produces electric cars and maybe your vision is that you want to eliminate petroleum use in vehicles around the whole world and that's a very big positive vision that you've got it's a bold inspiring vision and maybe that's the kind of change you want to create and you want to be a part of that you want to be the mastermind the visionary behind that or you want to maybe just contribute to that kind of cause so that's one big dramatic way maybe a more subtle way is through being a personal role model of how you want other people to act in the world in the future right do you want to set an example for how to live an inspiring life you want to set an example for how to be passionate you want to set an example for how to be compassionate do you want to set an example for how to be loving because everyone that you come into contact with throughout your life as simple just as your friends and their friends so friends of friends that little social circle that you've got your family members people that you're talking to even the grocery clerk that you're interacting with when you're buying your groceries all of those people are interacting with you and those are opportunities and those are interactions each interaction is an opportunity for you to influence them and you can influence them in any kind of way that you want positive neutral negative anything could happen so what kind of impact do you want to have there maybe you want to demonstrate something some sort of value that you want to embody and you want to have that rub off on other people perhaps you've had a mentor like that in the past maybe an old teacher from high school from college or maybe a parent grandparent somebody that you really admire someone that was a role model for you and think about how that impacted you and how your life was changed and the trajectory really of your life has been altered and that's why you're now grateful to that person but maybe you want to have that kind of impact whatever it is changing the world is where the real fulfillment in life comes from so I applaud you for even thinking about this idea and the problem with changing the world because I've always been driven to do this I've always just had this need to go out there and to do something really positive not because I want to be a mother Teresa type figure but because I get enjoyment out of that that sense of contribution is just so such an amazing feeling there's hardly any other feeling like that in the world when you actually go out there you do that and you see the smile this puts on other people's faces and the impact that it has and how it just progresses humanity and how it honors some sort of higher ideals that's just so so so rewarding very very fulfilling it's not the kind of shallow success that you get just with going and earning a bunch money and so the idea here is that this is a really I think this is one of the most powerful goals to have for yourself is to change the world in some positive way the trick of course is that when the rubber meets the road it's not that easy to change the world and this goes back to the very beginning that I was talking about this point of that most of us are so concerned about ourselves that we rarely have the opportunity to go out there and make a big difference and I find that that's very very very true and the biggest thing there's going to prevent you from changing the world is mastery of yourself mastery of your own thoughts and your own emotions because if you cannot master yourself if you cannot master your own addictive compulsive behaviors if you cannot master your own negative thinking if you cannot master your own self sabotaging behavior you can't master your own finances and you can't master your own fitness and your own health and you can't master your own relationships if you can't handle that and be comfortable in that then there is no way you can ascend to the next level it's really Maslow's hierarchy of needs this is what it goes back to because on that hierarchy Maslow talked about the needs that human beings have the psychological needs of course we have the need for very basic things like food water oxygen but then we have the next rung up which are things like shelter and certain sense of security the idea that we're not going to get harmed or stabbed in the back then the next level up is maybe having some social connections some friends some relationship going where you get some love the next level up from that is a sense of belonging to a to a larger community than just yourself and then maybe the next step after that is really the peak the peak of the pyramid and that is self-actualization and that's when you're going out there and your life is about something that's greater than yourself it's about creating both an inner self mastery but then also taking that and channeling that energy because now you've got the rest of it taken care of right you've got your you've got your basic national security handled you've got your health handle got your relationships handle what's next well next is making that big change to making that impact and to do that you really need to summon the best of yourself because to change the world this is a difficult thing why well because the world is the way it is and it has a certain inertia that doesn't mean that you can't change it that just means you can have to go up hill in many cases to change it so if you want to change the petroleum industry and you want to change the way that cars around the world work and you want to get them all working on green energy well that's they're going to have quite a few obstacles to doing that there's a big system in place already you can change that system how are you going to do that well it's going to all start with you first of all are you motivated enough to do it do you have a vision for how you want to do it are you going to be healthy enough to do it are you going to have the money to actually go out there and have the time to think about the problem rather than be thinking about how to pay your bills right these are just fundamental logistical challenges you're gonna have not to mention the the higher-level challenges of convincing people are you gonna be able to go out there and convince people of your vision are you going to have the skills the technical skills you need do you need to have engineering skills you need to have communication skills you need to have some sort of other technical abilities to get this kind of vision passed are you going to have the financial capital to get it passed are you going to know the right people right are you going to persist past all those obstacles are you going to know how to keep yourself motivated are you going to know how to think positive thoughts when you're feeling negative so all of those are going to be huge huge huge factors and that's why people do not accomplish more change is because they have not mastered themselves well enough to be able to get even even halfway through that process that I just described they just never make it that far because for them it's mostly like okay I need to pay my rent next month I need to pay down the credit card bills and I need to make sure that my friends are not going to leave me and hate me so I'm going to I'm going to do something to to appease them and I'm going to try to appease my family and I'm just going to try to fit into my community and most people stop there that's like that's their whole struggle in life is they struggle just to get that done health I didn't mention but that's also a big one right people struggling with their health so when you're struggling with all that then how can you be thinking about changing the world or changing the petroleum industry or doing something big like that you can't it's not going to happen you're too self-centered you're too self-centered what you've got to do is you got to say okay if I really want to change the world it would be nice to be able to go out there right now and maybe join a soup kitchen or maybe start on that big project start my own business or whatever say it screw it I'm just going to go for it the challenge with that is that to change the world this is going to be something you have to do over the long run you can't do it in a week you can't do it in a month you can't even really do it in a year it's going to take a long time so that being the case you have to ask yourself to do that to get that kind of sustainability what what needs to happen what are the changes need to happen in my life and what you're probably going to notice is like oh damn well if I really really want to make that kind of impact on the world I'm gonna have to start at the beginning and the beginning is right here with me because if I'm addicted to television and food or drugs or alcohol or smoking or depression depressive thoughts anxiety if I'm addicted to those things there's no way I'm making any difference so I got to fix all those first then maybe I need to go out there actually learn study acquire some skills so that I can have the ability to to shape my environment the way that I want just so that I can open the doors for myself right because right now you probably don't even know how to go about creating that kind of change maybe you don't even know what that change exactly should be you just know that you have that kind of Drive you have that ambitious and that's good that's you know you got to start somewhere and I think that the fact that you've got that drive is amazing that's you're in top 1% already and I really want to encourage you because you're listening to this I want to plant the seed because this is critical if you get this down this will make the change between you wasting your life in mediocrity and you living in amazing kind of life and going out there and really change the world in a positive way I want to plant the seed that you have to start with yourself start becoming much more aware start reading books about psychology start studying the psychology of success start practicing with yourself sort understanding how you work start mastering your health your relationships start mastering your your financial situation start mastering your career get those things handled because when you've got those handled you're going to have a foundation from which you could have a massive impact but you're not going to do that by just going for that massive impact right off the bat and having a shaky foundation it's like you're trying to build a skyscraper you cannot build a thousand-foot skyscraper a hundred stories skyscraper on on on a bed of sand it's not going to work you need something a lot more solid because that thing has weight to it and literally that's what's going to happen here is that when you try to change the world the world is going to bear its weight back on you it will whether its physical barriers you're coming against technological barriers human barriers in society obstinacy whatever people not accepting you those that's like a big weight and a big pressure on your shoulders and you are going to crumble you are going to crumble just like a skyscraper standing on a bed of sand if you do not master yourself and you to understand how to withstand that you need to build up yourself to be able to withstand the kind of pressure that you will have to change the world and then you can go out there and you will be able to rock it and you will be able to give us something really amazing in the next hundred years and I really look forward to hearing about what that is so I'm going to wrap it up here these are my thoughts on how to change the world this is personally my mission and what I'm doing
