Nitubara: How Writing can Change the World

Change the world!

It?s not like writing something can change the world.

Or can it?

Uh, absolutely it can!

If you are a fan of writing, then you already know the power it has.

Writing something powerful has the ability to inspire, motivate, change lives, change minds, even change history (the bible, the alchemist).

Even if writing isn?t your ?thing?, you probably understand the importance of it. Writing isn?t fun for everyone, but everyone does it.

Those who write as a creative tool, do so to express their creativeness, thoughts, ideas, feelings, and help others learn something, do something, or just to plain old, write.

Reading to Write

I was never much of a fan of reading. I always thought it was rather boring and would rather flip on the video game console. It wasn?t until a few years ago that it occurred to me, the reason why I thought reading was boring. It really wasn?t that reading was boring, it was ?what? I would read.

I can?t imagine anyone having fun reading an article online because someone else thought it would be mind engaging or useful, like that of a friend, colleague, or professor, if they didn?t care about the topic.

Ever since I could remember, I was only reading because I ?had to?, for an assignment or other learning means.

Once I discovered the stories and articles that fell in line with my passions, I started to actually enjoy reading. I could look up a topic that inspired me and get lost in reading for hours.

It wasn?t long after, that I started to gain new perspectives, ideas, and opinions of my own, that I wanted to share. So, I did what anyone would do who has a head full of creativeness flowing with ideas, I started to write.

I wrote about what I thought and felt about the world. I wrote poems, songs, and essays that allowed what I was thinking, spill out of an ink pen and keyboard.

The only audience I had was myself and I was OK with that.

Writing led to more reading, which led to more learning about the growing list of concerns that bothered me. I found my passions were those that were inspiring change in the world.

People, books, and ideas that gave people a sense of renewal, for themselves, others, and the world we live in. I wanted to write about my experiences and what I had learned about the way of the world and share it.

I hoped that others would care as much as I did about how the world was, the way society was ran, and what humanity was doing to it. I found out that others do care and I wanted to join them.

I decided that I would use my passion for writing, (no matter how good or bad) to spread my thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and what I had learned, to those who needed a bit of inspiration. I wanted to help change the world with my writing.

How Writing can Change the World

For me, writing has completely changed my world. It changed the way I view myself and how I interact with others. Writing has allowed me to find what it is that I am most passionate about.

Because of writing, I know I will be able to share my passion for changing the world, to the world. I will be able to show others that they are capable of doing anything they want and do not have to follow the path of what is considered, ?normal?.

That in itself, I believe is a recipe for how writing can change the world, but let?s dig deeper.

I thought about what I could do, to convey the message I wanted to present to you, that I believe will show you how writing can change the world. I came up with a list.

A list that is more like a timeline, that represents the path from placing your hands on the keyboard, or picking up a pen, to making a significant change in the world. Remember, there is more than one way to make a change.

The following is the path I am on and will show you how I went from wanting to make a difference to using writing as a tool for world change.

Here is that list?

Finding what you are passionate about
Understand that your passion should be spread
Finding a platform to share your passion
Writing about what you are passionate about
Connect with others who share your passion
Learn how to get your writing noticed
Build a community
Help your community with what you have learned
Show your community how to spread their own passions
Write and Repeat?

Long Story Short

The list above is an accumulation of events and processes that took me about 2 years to get through, once I discovered my passion, which took 10 years to discover in the first place.

Don?t let that scare you off, no path is ever the same, and mine was never a continuous process. There are much more opportunities today that will aid in helping you to find your passion and follow the path above in a similar path.

What the list, or timeline represents, is a process of how writing can be used to change the world.

The End Process is the World Changer

So it comes to the end. The truth is there really is no end. To make a change is to keep making changes. To change the world will forever be a never ending process.

As for us, we have a chance to do a little, that can go a long way. By doing what we love and following our passions we are opening a door.

The door we open is a door to unlimited possibilities and showing others what that those possibilities exist. If I write about what I am passionate about because of someone else who has been writing about what they are passionate about, that person has changed my world.

By doing what you love and showing others how to do the same, you are stating a chain reaction of people everywhere, changing the way they view the world (for the better), and changing their worlds entirely. Reminds me of Rocky IV after he wins the big fight against Drago, ?If I can change, and you can change, everybody can change?(Rocky IV).

See, if I can change my world and you can change your world, then everyone can change their worlds, which will help the entire world to change.

This is how writing can change the world. One word, one message, one voice at a time, we can help each other. Together, anything is possible.
