social change agent: “a visionary utilizing innovation to initiate fundamental change for social benefit.”
Big words...big impact.
As I have searched for my life purpose over the last several years I slowly began to realize that I want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Pondering this has caused me a lot of frustration.
Realization: I was part of the problem by not being part of the solution.
Solution: I need to change my life to become focused on being part of the solution.
This is far easier said than done. How do I exit the ‘rat race’ and implement fundamental change in my own life so that I can help people around the globe? The short answer is that my family and I decided to sell everything and move to Africa to make a difference in the lives of the underprivileged by:
‘focusing on bottom-up solutions that break the backbone of generational poverty’.
