Title : CHANGE YOUR WORLD 🌎🌍 by John C Maxwell and Rob Hoskins

Hello there,

Welcome to a new week. It's weekend already. Good to have you.

Today we shall be looking at " BECOMING A CATALYST FOR CHANGE"

First and foremost, we shall define the term "Catalyst"

Catalyst: Something or someone who promote and encourage progress or change.

In this definition we can have Negative catalyst- promoting negative Change and Positive catalyst- promoting positive change. Our idea of Change is for progress and POSITIVE one.

👉  Change does not happen on its own- change is usually triggered by a force and that force is a catalyst which is the propeller of that CHANGE. so if we want Changes, then we must be ready to cause the CHANGE(S) we wish to see..

" Many things in life just happen, but positive change is not one of them. Changing anything in our world requires someone to be the catalyst " -John Maxwell and Rob Hoskins

How to become a CATALYST

-CHANGE begins with Caring :

If anyone wants to change , then he/she must care about CHANGING. Change is intentional. You can make a difference. Change stand with you and it's Easy to implement, not grandiose as people think. You can start from where you are and cause Positive change that you want to see. It's that easy, never ambiguous.

"Everyone has a change-THE- world of speech inside them "- President John F.Kennedy

It is very clear , we all have THE change your world inside of us. So nurture yours and cause the CHANGE you wish to see-make sure it's Positive.

-CHANGE stand up for a cause:s

As the seed of change in you grows, it begins to have more meaning and definition. In essence, it becomes defined. Many are the pioneer of changes that we are enjoying today. The Technology you are enjoying is someone's idea 💡 and initiative. The good road 🛣️ you enjoy is someone's effort, the house 🏠 you living, is someone's effort and idea, the peace you enjoy in your geographic space, is someone's negotiation. So you see that basically everything you are enjoying today was pioneered by someone and it was achievable,so yours is not an exception. Start today, nurture the change you want to see and be positive and hopeful to see it come to limelight.

-CHANGE spreads me to WE :

change starts from you, the to US. It's one person that started doing a thing before others see it and say this is good, let us join and make things better. If no one started something, no one follows. It is very important we start with POSITIVE ,so the change we seek becomes Positive. You must identify yourself with those who wants to see positive change. So surrounds yourself with persons and networks who share same vision with yours, this makes it more easy.

-CHANGE steps forward with Urgency :

Most times it's when situations are very critical that changes or idea to change pop in. There was an urgent need of bicycle 🚲 for mobilization, then which progressed to bike 🚲 for higher velocity , now a need for more accomodation of persons for transit , came Vehicles , car 🚗 and then train, then boat ⛵ , Yacht ⛵ ships,🚢 and then aeroplane 🛫 for faster mobilization and to each serving it's specific purpose. The idea of Change lies in PURPOSE- for every inventory has it's specific purpose. So what is the purpose of the positive change you want to cause ? Stick to that idea and nurture with care. Urgent situations needs propeller for positive changes, find such situation(s) and take upon you to cause that CHANGE. You will be fulfilled. 

How you BECOME A CATALYST for CHANGE:

There are different ways to become a catalyst for change. Let's look at some of these 👌👇🏽

- Change from Good intentions to good actions :

It is not enough to have good intentions, but to show that in Actions. You must be willing to act, and ACT without procrastinating.

 People with good intentions, wants to add value to others but find reasons not to do it.

People if good actions wants to add value to people and find ways of doing it.

People with good intentions are often passive and inconsistent, hence they are more likely to disappoint.

People with good actions are deliberate and willing TO DO.

"Good actions represents the dividing line between WORDS and RESULTS " - John C Maxwell and Rob Hoskin.

- Become a POSSIBILIST :

A POSSIBILIST is one who advocates possibilism- A socialist who advocates focusing on small achievable forms of immediate progress rather than an all-or nothing commitment to revolution. So you see that POSSIBILIST think of small achievable things  not the WHOLE. you can start from where you are and cause that change your wish to see. Start small, then EXPAND. See possibility to the change you want to see.

-TAKE OWNERSHIP : The idea if OWNERSHIP is of something BELONGING to you. If you don't take ownership of the changes you want to see, then you are likely not to fulfil it, but if you really want to see changes then you must take Ownership of the changes that you want to see.

Taking ownership means Understanding your DREAMS and seeing the possibility of achieving it and becoming more fulfilled. This has to do with your mindset. You must keep it POSITIVE and be willing to give it to stategies to see the change you want. We  can CHANGE your world for Good, it starts with you and I.

- Use your past as aspiration for FUTURE changes :

If your past Hurts , maybe you were not satisfied with lots of things going on. Then you can start up a campaign for the  change you wish to see. Change does not just happen. You cause it.

-Invite others to join CAUSE :

Changes do not just happen with you alone, you must invite others to join you. As we all know, a tree 🌴 does not make a forest but several trees makes one. Persons whose disciplined is aligned with Forestral and wildlife studies can explain better.

When you invite people to join your CAUSE- Share the CHANGES you want to see, then ask them for suggestions, ask for better ideas💡, in other words collaborate and discuss like a forum to learn more ways to achieve it. 

-Focus on what you can do :

Focus on what you as a person can do, do what you can. We must not start big in everything, infact starting big has never been the idea of greatness.  " Great things starts small " - Joachim Duru.

Make use of the inert abilities in you to promote your CAUSE- your gifts , your talents, your skills, your past and present success , your passions, your opportunities, Your tools and the et cetera.

- Do something :

Nobody that's folds arm with good intentions, have done a thing. Start DOING. Do something. Even if it does not meet up with what you intend or the supposed expectations of people or the group you are working with. The DOING validates you to be a change agent- A CATALYST. Talks, is not doing , so strive to do. In doing lies FULFILMENT. This is Unlimited as it applies to all areas of life- Family, work, career, Education, politics, religion, culture, ethics  and the et cetera

"The smallest DEEDS is greater than the largest INTENTIONS "-Duane Mellor

Let us Start DOING , it's our only choice no matter how little, DO , DO , DO!

Q & A will be attended to, if Any.
