Living is solving problems.\u201d \u2015 Raymond E. Feist<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I had a classmate in college named Ben who struggled to keep his grades just above the passing mark. If he wasn\u2019t missing half his classes, he was practically catatonic when he did show up.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t figure out what was wrong with him. Just the semester before, Ben was doing well and even quite social.<\/p>\n<p>We weren\u2019t close or anything, but I decided to get to the bottom of it since no one else seemed to care or notice what was happening to this guy.<\/p>\n<p>On a whim, I said I was going to grab something to eat, and he could join me if he wanted. To my surprise, he said yes.<\/p>\n<p>It took all of twenty minutes of small talk and a few bites when I came out with it.<\/p>\n<p>I asked Ben point blank what was going on with him.<\/p>\n<p>After staring at the floor and fidgeting with his sandwich for a full minute, he laid it out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy grandma died from cancer and I really can\u2019t handle it right now. I don\u2019t even know if I should finish studying here,\u201d Ben said, holding back tears.<\/p>\n<p>He went on, \u201cMy dad left me when I was three and my mom was in between psychiatrists while I was growing up. My grandma was the only one who took care of me. I was hoping she\u2019d see me graduate and make something of myself, but so much for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t really say anything more than \u201cYeah\u201d and \u201cThat sucks, I\u2019m sorry.\u201d Being there with him was more important than trying to say something to soften the blow.<\/p>\n<p>So Ben had a kind of existential crisis, now that the person who raised him to be a proper adult was gone.<\/p>\n<p>He lost his sense of purpose and felt it was pointless to create something positive in this world.<\/p>\n<p>I kind of took it upon myself to check in with him every now and then after that, and we\u2019d sometimes grab a bite when our schedules weren&#8217;t too crazy.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, he slowly pulled himself away from the brink of despair.<\/p>\n<p>He decided to get professional help several months down the road, but our little chats continued.<\/p>\n<p>After almost a year since I broke the ice with Ben, he told me, \u201cHey, I never really got to thank you. Our conversations put things in perspective for me and made me want to help myself. I realized that my grandma would have wanted me to keep going and change other people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sometime after that, we reconnected online and I was blown away to find out that he became a full-time high school counselor. He said in his email:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think my purpose is to help other people find the light missing in their lives, much like how I was before. Thanks again for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWhat can I do? I\u2019m just one person.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Like Ben, many of us have felt at one point or another that our actions don\u2019t mean much in the grand scheme of things.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s pointless to even try, some might say. But I\u2019ll show you 5 ways you can empower yourself, eliminate that feeling of futility and be an agent of change:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#1: Put on your armor<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s the saying that goes, \u201cWhat doesn\u2019t kill me makes me stronger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I personally live by this truth \u2013 I\u2019ve found that everything I had to overcome made me wiser, quicker and tougher in the process.<\/p>\n<p>People often limit themselves to how much they can grow because the thought can be terrifying.<\/p>\n<p>The idea that you could transform into a superior version of yourself lies in the realm of the unknown, and that doesn\u2019t sit well with a lot of folks.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to do something that matters in the world, you need to embrace those challenges and push yourself further than you ever thought you could.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t see it now, but the more you grapple with that which terrifies you, the stronger you get.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it this way \u2013 what if you really pushed your limits and REALLY applied yourself\u2026five years ago?<\/p>\n<p>Where do you think you\u2019d be right now? Probably somewhere better.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not trying to make you feel bad though.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve all wasted opportunities before, and that\u2019s part of being human.<\/p>\n<p>But now you know the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Think of all the years AHEAD of you, and the opportunities and challenges you\u2019ve yet to encounter.<\/p>\n<p>Make the most of them, and you\u2019ll be unstoppable.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#2: Respect your time<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fortune magazine recently featured a survey which found that a typical office worker wastes about 8 hours every week on non-related work activities.<\/p>\n<p>This includes surfing the web on their mobile phones and attending to personal errands.<\/p>\n<p>So in a month, that\u2019s 32 hours down the drain for just ONE employee.<\/p>\n<p>And the survey included a relatively small group of about 600 office workers &#8211; more than half of which were wasting those eight hours.<\/p>\n<p>Conservatively speaking, you\u2019re looking at 9,600 work hours lost in a single month for those people.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine how they could have better spent that time improving themselves, working on their skills, honing their craft and ultimately, changing the world.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s painful to think about, really.<\/p>\n<p>What about you? How many hours on average do you think you\u2019ve wasted on trivial things when you should have been working, learning and growing?<\/p>\n<p>That lost time may be costing you more than you think.<\/p>\n<p>Now imagine if you \u201ctook care of business\u201d while you were on the clock and kept your leisure hours separate.<\/p>\n<p>What if you kept this kind of habit for a few years at least? How would those recovered hours help you get to where you want to be in the future?<\/p>\n<p>You could spend those hours learning a new language, get a side income project going, exploring the world and anything else that would help you make a difference in this world.<\/p>\n<p>Again, it goes back to the fact that you can\u2019t possibly fathom what you\u2019re truly capable of \u2013 not until you plug those leaks in your workday, at least.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#3: Realize your place in the universe<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While others see themselves as just some random person in a faceless crowd, you can look at it differently.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine yourself at the center of a hub, with other people connected to you. And imagine those people with their own connections, branching out into a vast network.<\/p>\n<p>Now, whenever you do something that affects at least ONE person, think about how it affects the other individuals connected to that single person.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re creating a wave of change, and you can\u2019t see the full effects of your actions.<\/p>\n<p>And remember, this is just an extremely simplified way of looking at it.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re ALL doing something that impacts the lives of others, and this goes into the millions.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, every decision you make \u2013 or don\u2019t make \u2013 creates an impact whether you want it or not.<\/p>\n<p>The sooner you understand that your presence in this world MATTERS, the better you can focus your choices and actions on making REAL change.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#4: Take responsibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Aside from understanding your place, the other side of that coin is taking on a problem.<\/p>\n<p>It could be any sort of problem you know well, like troubleshooting computers over the phone, or creating the next rocket that will take mankind to other planets.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the beauty of being responsible \u2013 you get to CHOOSE which sort of problem you want to dig your teeth into.<\/p>\n<p>And having the initiative to go out and become engaged in solving a problem justifies your presence in the world.<\/p>\n<p>Some people might say, \u201cWhy bother? None of it matters anyway and we\u2019re all going to die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What it really means is that they\u2019d rather take the easier, \u201csafer\u201d route of having no responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Is that the kind of life you want to have? Or would you rather get busy living your mission and create something that affects people around you?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#5: Make a plan of attack<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s hard to make a lasting impact if you don\u2019t have a mission statement to guide you.<\/p>\n<p>Your efforts need to be structured and focused \u2013 otherwise, you\u2019ll be all over the place and waste your energy.<\/p>\n<p>Think about where you see yourself in the next 5-10 years. What kind of person will you be by that time?<\/p>\n<p>What will you be doing then, and how will you make a difference? What skills and talents will you have under your belt by that time, and how will you use them?<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about these things will help you craft the perfect mission statement.<\/p>\n<p>If you can clearly define what you&#8217;ve set out to do \u2013 and how to achieve it \u2013 then you\u2019re a step ahead at the game.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from visualizing your future self, don\u2019t forget to include the principles and values you live by. These are also important factors that go into defining your life\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve gotten that mission statement in place, you can start doing more and more things that will bring you closer to your goals \u2013 and in effect, change the world around you.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an example to give you an idea:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI intend to be the biggest social media influencer in the world. Using my knowledge of digital marketing and sales experience, I can create effective campaigns to get more followers and share my content. This way, I can create a platform where I can talk about current issues that affect us all. It is important to me for the truth to be heard, so I will make sure that my opinions are always backed up with facts from reliable sources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll probably go through a few versions before you end up with your ideal mission statement. Take your time and think it through.<\/p>\n<p>Also, don\u2019t be afraid to revisit it after a year because you might be headed in a different direction by then.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, you\u2019ll still be well on your way to changing the world.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you feel stuck at any point in creating the reality you want, you might need a little more help.<\/p>\n<p>You see, I came across an amazing discovery when I was going through my own struggles.<\/p>\n<p>Before I realized that I could be on this path to helping other people, I had to help myself first.<\/p>\n<p>So I did some soul-searching and research on manifesting the kind of life that would allow me to do the things I\u2019m doing today.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a free video on how I got the clarity and perspective to change the world:<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.manifestationmiraclesite.com\">The \u201cLazy Person Secret\u201d That Empowered Me and Countless Others (VIDEO)<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"www.manifestationmiraclesite.com\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-81 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/manifestationmiraclesite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MM-Video-v2.jpg\" alt=\"Manifestation Miracle\" width=\"933\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manifestationmiraclesite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MM-Video-v2.jpg 933w, https:\/\/manifestationmiraclesite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MM-Video-v2-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/manifestationmiraclesite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MM-Video-v2-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/manifestationmiraclesite.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/MM-Video-v2-640x288.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 933px) 100vw, 933px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author of Manifestation Miracle Do you want to unlock your inner power to manifest the life you&#8217;ve been dreaming of?
