You’re brought up to believe that a large group of people have the ability to make a difference. You play on teams through sports, and taught that there is no “I” in team. While you can accomplish a lot in a team or with several people. I beg to differ. It takes one. It takes one person to stand up and make a difference. One person to lead a group in the right direction. One person to be the change of the world.

Why do most people feel they need others around them to make a difference? Why does it take being in a group to stop people from feeling inferior? Why do people seek approval even though they say they don’t care what people think in the first place?  If you haven’t noticed most people don’t like doing things alone; such as going out to eat, traveling, or just hanging out. While its important to socialize it’s just as important to spend quality time alone.

It takes one person to ask the question everyone else in the room is dying to know the answer to.

One to stand up and say the right thing.

One to defend those who can’t defend themselves.

One to help others, whether it be to open a door, talk, seek help, or just lend an ear.

One to stand up for yourself.

It takes one person to start a trend and everyone else to follow.

Now sometimes one person can’t do everything themselves, but they can seek help.

So when you are by yourself, you create ripples in the water. Then when you involve others you begin to make waves. The waves are what create an impact on the world. Again it starts with One person. Be the One to stand out from the rest, even though you may be standing alone.
