20 Signs That You Are Here to Change the World

Humankind evolves rapidly in today’s world and many people feel that they are here to change the world.

If you are familiar with the Mayan culture, you will know that the Mayans existed thousands of years ago, and yet predicted many future events accurately.

A crucial tool for these predictions was their calendar, which ended in 2012. Because of this, many people believed that in the year 2012 the world would end. Since of course, that did not happen, there has emerged a shift in New Age theories – 2012 did not mark the end of humanity, but a new beginning in human evolution.

We are now more than ever becoming innately aware of our desire to help others and, as cliché as it sounds, to use our individuality to change the world.

Here are 20 tell-tale signs that indicate you are one of those who are destined to do so.

1. You may have experienced a life-changing event in your life, which you now wish to channel and use to help others.

2. You feel a natural pull when it comes to helping others. It could be for anything – healing, connecting, succeeding, etc.

3. You often have ideas or visions that you feel might make the world a better, more beautiful place.

4. You may even daydream or night dream about healing and fixing any kind of damage.

5. You possess a high level of talent and creativity – this could be in the visual arts, poetry, music or art of any kind.

6. You sense that something is out of alignment with the world, and you want to contribute to the solution.

7. You may have had a difficult life growing up and did not have a stable family environment

8. You are deeply empathetic towards others’ feelings.

9. Because of your empathy, you are extremely sensitive and can result in the deterioration of your health – anxiety, depression and addictions are common side effects.

10. Oftentimes, you find yourself physically ill with fluctuating symptoms.

11. You absolutely love animals.

12. Another sign that you are here to change the world is that you have an intense desire to end suffering for all living creatures – humans, plants and animals alike.

13. You pursue success in a chosen field not only for personal benefit but also in preparation for your world-changing.

14. You feel isolated or lonely in the sense that you feel inherently different from those around you.

15. You feel an alluring connection with natural environments – the mountains, forests or sea for example.

16. Being surrounded by greenery and flowers makes your heart sing. You love gardening and watching things grow.

17. Major religions do not appeal to you; yet, you feel strong spiritual purpose and meaning.

18. You can feel a deep connection with certain places, cultures and languages.

19. You feel a desire to understand people who have mental illness and intellectual disabilities and may even have a disabled loved one.

20. Alone time is very appealing to you. You often feel drained from social contact and need peaceful solitude to recharge.

When I was young, I wanted to change the world. Now, I’m trying my best to not let the world change me.

  • Completely, totally and...
    When I was 4 years old I was raped, growing as homosexual person in moslem country, I ran to a big city and living on the street and end up in prostitution. My dream to study till university became real in 2000 with economic degree. I ran to the west looking for freedom, cause my family forced me to married a girl, but unfortunately I cough up in a prison of addiction, AIDS and cancer and I fight all these obstacles and now, I can say with all of loving, kindness, compassion and generosity in my heart that I am a SURVIVOR. It sounds like a movie and I put all this story by writing a book as therapy for myself and hoping soon will be published. I know from the beginning that one day I will help people with these problems and this is the reason I left my job as pharmacies assistant to study Counseling and Coaching and now, I am doing a job training in one big humanity foundation as a coach. I want to be a good Counselor and Coach to help people and it feels like I am coming home to the serenity. This is what I meant to be! It wasn't so bad after all, I found the meaning of my life become a good Counselor and Coach.

  • Hello,

    I am a young man who aspires to change the world. I want to fight against the world elite and bring them down. In order to this I must master every aspect of combat and master every aspect of science, math, history and biology. I would like to do these thinga in my life but it will be very time consuming doing this on my own. I am looking for someone who shares the same passion with me but who is alot more experienced with all these aspects. I need someone who can train me in these aspects and share me their wisdom. I realise there are not alot of people who will fit my standards to train me, but I mist not give up searching. For I need to change, before I can give the world a chance to change. If anyone thinks they can teach me and is willing to devote their lives together with me to change this world. You can contact me on email. Traitarts@gmail.com

    Thank you very much, and may your life be full of love and honour.
