Change the World Movie: I truly believe that most of the time...less is more. Sometimes, certain things viewed in certain ways have the ability to make an impact on our life in a positive way. I think Eleanor Roosevelt said it best, "It is not fair to ask of others, what you are unwilling to do yourself"
Cassidy Megan "Wants people with epilepsy
everywhere to know they are not alone"
Ok! So you don't think you can change the world! However there's a sure bet you can make an impact on the world, no matter who you are; where you live or how old you are. Nine year old Cassidy thought she had a small vision to make a difference in her local community in Nova Scotia Canada in 2008, by simply wearing purple on March 26 to raise awareness about epilepsy and those with seizure disorders.
Thus year Purple day will be celebrated by people around the world by people with epilepsy, their family and friends by simply wearing purple in solidarity. The message of Purple Day is very simple.
"People will seizure disorders are everyday people living everyday lives"
Cassidy Megan's simple message is
now recognized around the world
and she's now just a teenager!
You can read more about this young history maker and the organization she has founded at Purple Day. "Cassidy's simple message is now celebrated around the world and at thirteen her life has only just began. Think you can't make a difference simply by being different? Then I challenge you to think again. Cassidy has a host of excuses, but not one of them has stopped her from changing the world.
May we encourage you to join Cassidy in transforming the world on March 26 simply by wearing purple.
Why do we look at historical figures who helped shaped the past?Because we believe that history has much to tells us. We can learn from visionaries and develop our own visions. We can learn from the mistakes from the past. I believe that even Hitler's original vision had merit, it was human greed that was his down fall, leading to one of the darkest periods in human history. If we as visionaries of today and building the visionaries of the future, but repeat the mistakes of the past, then we are not going to move forward and shape a positive future.
In presenting this series on people who helped shape history we are aiming to take a holistic approach to world change. The answer does not stem from religion alone, not is financial security the solution to world povety, The answers are much more complex. We need to answer them at a multi-face supply of basic needs response political, economical, cultural, personal belief system, technological, educational, geographical and careful translation of social believes and boundaries.
Born Marie Gouze, the French playwright was most definitely a women before her time. Her writings reached a wide audience and she was known as an political activist, feminist and abolitionist,
Marie once wrote " I was married a man I did not love and who was neither rich nor well-born. I was sacrificed for no reason that could make up for the repugnance I felt for this man." in her semi-autobiographical novel Memorie de Madame de Valmont contre la famille de Flaucourt
Gouhes most well known work is "The Rights of Women. In which she claimed women were the equal of men in all aspects of public and private life. To her these rights should include the right to vote, hold public office, employment, public speaking engagement, obtain "Public Hounors" property ownership, military participation, education in marriage and even in the Church. See The Rights of Women, 1791 to read the comprehensive list of Gouhes feminist views. Such ideas were ridicule highly at the time. However, she was otherwise not successful as an author due to her poor education in particular poor spelling and grammar, yet manage to produce several plays.
Olympe Gouhes hopes for the embracing the equality of men and women were raised when the French Revolution broke out, but she soon learn that equal rights would not be extended to women. She became more involve and vocal where even she saw injustice been done, regesiting her protest test through he writings. Her final pieces that lead to her arrest were The Three Urns, or the Salvation of the Country, and By An Aerial Traveler which were pro the new French government. Even so she tired to mount her defence using her early writings to demonstrate she was in support of the revolution, however it became quite evident that her ideas went far beyond what the ruling party had in mind. on November 2 1793 Gouges was sentences to death for trying to reinstate the monarchy.

Mark Doggett, is a member of the Pay It Forward Experience Facebook group. Today Mark shares
is powerful insight on the human condition of self-preoccupation. Mark explains what is selfish
and what is not!
As I was thinking more than I should about things and considering Kindness and Paying it forward I a devils advocate thought came into my head and I have been working out my thoughts and I wanted to share the question and the answer I have come up with......
Let's talk about what it means to be selfish:
We are selfish when we only consider ourselves and do not consider the effect our behavior has on others.
We are selfish when we expect others to give themselves up and do what we want them to do, rather than do what brings them joy or is in their highest good.
We are selfish when we keep drawing a conversation back to ourselves rather than listening to and caring about what someone else is saying.
We are selfish when we punish others when they think and feel differently than we do.
We are selfish when we harm others for our own ends.
Now let's talk about what is not selfish:
We are being self-responsible, not selfish, when we do what brings us joy with no intent to harm another, even if another person doesn't like it.
We are being self-responsible, not selfish, when we support our own highest good, even when someone wants us to do something other than what we are doing.
We are being self responsible when we are considerate of others' wants and needs without giving ourselves up.
Many of us were taught that if others are upset with us for our choices, we are somehow responsible for their feelings. We were taught that if we continue to do something that is upsetting to another, we are wrong, bad, and selfish. When parents teach this to their children, it has nothing to do with supporting their children's highest good. It is purely about wanting to control their children into doing what the parents want them to do. When parents do this, they are the ones being selfish, while telling their children that they are the selfish ones when they don't do what the parents want.
