You can effect the change you want to see in the world, no matter who you are

If you look around, you’ll probably see one or two things in your community that you wish could change for the better. The good news is, positive change is possible because you can be a difference-maker and change the world for the better.

In our society today, most people are sitting on their hands, waiting for someone else to solve the problems they see. They wait and hope for the government, religious institutions, or the media to do something. They want change but hope and pray that someone somewhere will make it happen.

The truth is, sitting around and waiting for change to happen isn’t a wise idea. If we want the world to change for the better, we need to change. We need to take action. You don’t have to be rich; you don’t have to be famous, and you don’t need to have a fancy title. You can transform the world around you. But for that to happen, you need to change.

We’re likely to end up where we are headed if we don’t change the direction we’re going. ~ Lao Tzu

First, you need to change your way of thinking. You need to challenge your preconceived notions. You must stop assuming you can’t or shouldn’t try to change your world and start believing you can and should.

Believe that no matter who you are, where you are, and with whatever you have, you can do something to make a change.

Once you’ve had a shift in mindset, you can then harness your hope. According to John Maxwell and Rob Hoskins, active hope is essential for changing the world. It’s not enough to be just optimistic. You must be a person of hope for yourself, others, and a better future.

When you’re hopeful, your hope will fuel urgency, which will, in turn, feed your desire for a change and inspire the courage you need to take the first step in the right direction.

In the following sections of this summary, you will learn how you can move from a place of thinking about transforming the world to actually doing it. You will also discover how to create values that are in line with your goals.

second key point

Positive change doesn’t just happen; a catalyst must facilitate it

Before a positive change can come about in the world, someone, somewhere, must take responsibility for changing themselves and take action to help others change. Change cannot happen without the effort of some person, without the action of a catalyst for change.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

The selections are on point and the summaries are excellent! I listen while I walk my pup 🐶 and have in turn, ordered a few selections! REALLY loving the app, it’s layout, daily selections and features!

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

The app it’s so easy to use. I use it while driving or cooking and is great. I love the fact that the chapters are short, so you can finish them quickly. Very knowledgeable.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
