"Change" To Start In Me

One major aspect of this new challenge for me is to begin the change within me. Recently, I dared to define what true beauty means to me. So, I wrote it down, shared my Beauty Manifesto videos in Youtube, in my blogs and even created a Facebook fan page about it.  I realized after that project, I did not only define what true beauty means for me and but I also embraced the challenge of being the change I want to see in the world.

I felt an instant gratification for myself on that daring process, as it was the most liberating first step in living the change I want to see in the world. All my self-image consciousness, insecurity and judgment were washed down the drain. I have empowered myself to direct my life on my own terms, and not to be trapped on what others say I should live my life or how I should look. Living in a culture where negative self-criticism, self-hate and self-defeating opinions were encouraged as a norm in the media and our society, this is not the easiest process for me to turn it around. This first step alone takes courage, self-love and self-belief to fight the obvious.

As a result of this, I had clarity of who I am and what I want to be.... I no longer worry about others' opinion of me as it does not matter to me anymore. A few times now, I was able to express that "I don't really care now what people think or say of me"... and it really is amazing to say that. 

I hope to inspire you to have that autonomy and control of your own life and you will find your self to be much more powerful than what others think. You won't let other people's remarks influence you or make you embark on the journey of self doubt, just like what this song says...

So... I Think I Can Change The World

My new life purpose isn't only alive and breathing, but well communicated in my past job interviews and documented in my career blogs. At first, I did kind of felt weird and crazy, but as I went on following my intuition and passion... I instantly recognized that inside of me, there's this inspired energy that naturally comes out of me and made me glow when I was triggered by character questions like, "Why am I different?" or "What makes me stand out from the rest?" Being self-assured of who I am and confident to know what my true passion and life purpose is, this cliche made me open up the vulnerable side of me. Just being able to express my mind is the most liberating thing in the world.

After acquiring several habits over the years that strengthened my values and character and protected my thoughts and belief system, I've come to a decision that I can truly be in charge of my destiny. Without hesitation, I seriously dared to think I can change the world.... Then, I started to see things differently. I desired to think and do things differently. I no longer want to be average. I'm no longer fond of rules that will limit me. I no longer care if people will agree or disagree with me. I was constantly connecting the dots, and I have to keep looking... I should not stop. I can't be ignored.... This is in my mind every day. I feel it in every level of my being and emotion... No one can ever take this away from me.

One day this week, I had this overwhelming feeling and I was talking myself out of this craziness in my head. Am I ok? What is going on with my brain, so on and so forth.... So, in the essence of me un-thinking my thoughts and insulting my intuitive nature, I googled and typed the phrase "crazy thinking differently" (as that was my strong feeling of myself that moment).... To my surprise, I did not expect to see this video to be first in the list.


I'm no Steve Jobs, but he inspired me to remain foolish... to keep thinking what I'm thinking differently. So... I think I can change the world. That is my intention and opportunities come to me to make this into reality.
