A Secret Agent of Change...Question of the Week

_MB_POSTED_BY admin in question-of-the-week

hmm...maybe this is why I think so much on the future, why I struggle to stay in the present:

"A change agent lives in the future, not the present. Regardless of what is going on today, a change agent has a vision of what could or should be and uses that as the governing sense of action. To a certain extent, a change agent is dissatisfied with what they see around them, in favor of a much better vision of the future." -Dennis Stevenson

 

 

To Blogger Sally McGraw at alreadypretty.com being an agent of change means not identifying as  a  activist, but enacting small changes in her circle of friends:

"I don't campaign for body image issues by lobbying Congress or volunteering at clinics that treat eating disorders - I'd rather work within the circle of people whose lives I can touch. Directly.
Affecting the people you can touch directly is simple, rewarding, and lasting. As we've been saying a lot recently, just one well-timed compliment can cause someone to open like a flower. Reaching out to someone who already trusts you reinforces that trust and creates safety. The simple act of listening reminds people that they are valued and cared for and supported and loved."

 

 Really deep Question of the Week that might just force you to look inside of yourself (no, not literally...)

What does "being a change agent" mean to you?
