Not only should we figure things out, but change what needs to be changed for the better. Make the world a better place for future generations and our children.
Sorry to say, but the one thing I have learned over the years is that I can't change the world. I can only change how I perceive it and definitely can't change how others deal with it.
I really don't agree with people who say that you can change the world since it's not always that easy. I'm done being a martyr for other people, since it so often goes unappreciated and others are the ones who end up benefiting from my sacrifices.
The reality is that the only thing we can really change is ourselves and our attitudes!
Thanks Randy. You're absolutely right, we can't change the world itself, but changing our ourselves and our attitudes will help us change how we deal with things that go on in the world. That part I believe we can change.
If we all changed one thing and contributed together to support what goes on in the world, the world would be a better place for us to live in.
I think both Lisa and Randy have a point here. We all think we can change the world at some point in our lives and then quickly learn that's not possible.
A more important lesson is that it is possible to change how we perceive things and that is what is critically important.

Thanks Lisa. Yes, great response. You're absolutely right. We must make the world a better place for future generations.

I agree with you and have nothing more that I need to add! Thank you.
