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 apply to all of the above. I am going to college to be a Psychotherapist because I want to help the mentally ill. I myself am mentally ill. I always felt like I was meant to do something important. I feel I can do this as a therapist. I am very spiritual but do not support modern Christianity. Thank you for the good read.
Almost everything on the list Fits me and my lif What do we do now and how can I get around others like me?e
I apply to all of them! I always felt different growing up but I am just realizing that I need to change something important now. I don't know where to start but I do what I can to help those around me with their feelings. I am a cancer survivor and I have realized that anything is possible!
Most if the above applies. ESPECIALLY with regards to religion and being around nature. Empathy is something ive always had and thought so did everyone else. Until I realized that was not the case. Anyway good read. O I'm re training to become a physio therapist. To hopefully work at the new rehab centre being built in the Midlands. Designed to help rehabilitate military personnel wounded in action.
Thank you for your insightful post. I graduated with an MSW in May at the age of 54. I want to empower people with the strengths they already own. May all that read this post be surrounded by the ultimate forces of good will for all living things!
