20 Signs That You Are Here to Change the World

Published by

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.

  • I hit everyone of those marks my son is autistic and my other son has a rare brain disorder. I was kicked out at 14 addicted to drugs been to prison 3 times. I hurt someone and it changed my life. I am now a stay at home mom 2 years clean and off the streets now for 3 years. I have always thought I was alone. Even in prison they called me counselor I've been a "counselor" since I was a child even back then adults would tell me their problems and somehow even that young I could somehow empathize and open eyes to a new thought about the situation. I felt like a failure but looking back now I see how many lives I touched in a positive way and I'm ok with all the pain I went through the loneliness and unsurety. I guess I'm an indigo kid!

  • I feel all of this, especially the fact to end suffering for all living things. Because i believe that god created us and them from the same soul, the difference is that they can not do what they want, they have been given a limited amount, while God gave us infinite, should'nt we then use it for their betterment. God is more greater than us and has infinite power, but he still has mercy upon his, he still feeds us, he lets us live whether we are thankful or not, what is the example that God himself is giving here ?

    The example he is giving is " Be merciful to those who are weaker ( lower ) than you and always help others, and ask nothing in return."
    If that is an animal a tree or a human being, does not matter. I believe we dont know our purpose, and my goal is to tell everyone what their purpose is, The purpose of human life.
    There is a saying in our country ,
    " If you want to be Happy, learn to make others happy ( Be helpful to others )."

  • Omg i feel i could cry, i can relate with every single one of this. I´m 23 but i always felt like this, sometimes is so strong i literally can barely breath. Since i was a child i felt so different, and i just "know" things, and i wonder how i ended up knowing something but sometimes i just know, like an instinct.
    I look normal, like a regular girl but on the inside i am a mess of bloming ideas of changing the world. When everybody are distracted watching Netflix i am wondering how i am supposed to change the world, it doesn´t mean i don´t enjoy some good movies or series (that in fact are one of my way out sometimes when everything feel so heavy) but i watch movies like an inspiration to really do something not like a distraction.
    I found myself many times unable to sleep because i am wondering where are other people like me, i feel i need to conect with some lost family to fulfill my destiny. I did good at school and university and now i am a nutritionist dietist (yeah i like a lot of things) but i feel like i never have really fit in. For example, why i am here late at night writing all of this out of my chest when i know i have to wake up early to go to work, why i am here reading about complex quantum physics and dreaming about a global conciousness network when i am very tired after a long day!, why i feel i could cry of impotence when i see other people literally doesn´t care about other living things problems! I´m literally starving for doing something out of what i am supposed to do, i want to elevate the global conciousness, i feel we are all conected, we are like a web of energy that affect us all and determines our reality. I cannot explain this but i know if you´re like me, you also will understand. Here i let you my email, i feel we need to create a group of something, i don´t have facebook (you know i am not normal at all) but i will answer as soon as i can. This post today gave me hope on finding what i feel i have to otherwise i will die.
    PD. Sorry for my english, it´s not my native language

    • I feel all of these things also including if I can't get an answer just dying. I do not know what to do I am different, very smart, don't need anything. But something is wrong I feel it!
      I am here for a reason that has not relieved itself.
      Sandy I hope we find the answers we are both seeking.

    I hope to contact with you guys, i feel we need to really do something.

  • Hello

    Throughout my life so far I've had certain everyday life experiences, as well as certain spiritual/paranormal experiences. Regardless of nature of all these experiences ("good", "bad"), the point of Earthly life journey is to live by your soul - which is a purpose of one's existence - to express your very soul - and to leave it's expression trail in each moment.
    Each soul by it's very existence contributes to this world and wider (greater consciousness). Then why not contribute by being very true version of one self... It's a very liberating feeling. True identity lies in inner freedom.

    I know there are people who are lost, scared, who feel lonely, who feel like they don't belong here, who are searching for answers, who are afraid of being themselves cause of society's rules for being "normal" or out of fear of being rejected and alone, people who feel misunderstood, people who search for their purpose, the ones who don't know what to do and how to approach certain abilities and spiritual experiences of theirs, people who struggle all kinds of everyday problems (emotional, physical, mental...) and feel helpless cause in situation they are they cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel, people who go through pain and hurt...and so on...
    I'm familiar with these situations out of personal experiences too. If there's anyone (not just people mentioned in the last paragraph, but absolutely anyone) who needs someone to talk to about anything and/or need just an ear to listen to them, you can contact me at
    L i o n e s s t a r 7 @ g m a i l . c o m
    It would be my pleasure to assist in any way I can from the bottom of my heart. Souls uniting through helping each other.

    I'll finish this with one of my favourite quotes:
    "No matter how dark it all gets
    Love is
    And always will be
    My answer"

    Kind regards,
    Manuela
