What would you do?

What would you change if you had the power to change the world?

Would you want peace?

Would you want universal power?

Would you want to start your whole life anew?

 

Quite honestly, I don’t know.

I wish I had the power to change the world.

I wish I knew where to look for this power,

but I don’t.

And how I a single person to influence the 7 billion other people in the world.

 

For that I will settle to change myself.

I will change what I can about me

in hope that it will influence others to follow suit.

And maybe then we can change the world.

 

For myself, I would begin with my priorities.

What in this world,

What in this life is most important to me?

For me, it is my family,

first and foremost

and forever.

 

Then as everyone wants to change,

I will change my health.

I would be doing it for my family today,

but also for the family that I will have,

someday.

I will do it to experience everything,

within human reason,

in the world.

 

With my small strives to change

I will influence those directly around me

and it will continue throughout the world.

That is what I would change.
