Change: What It Takes To Make A Change

Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King fought against apartheid and racism. Rosa Parks fought against segregation and for equal rights. Malala Yousafzai fought for human rights, especially girl's education. All it took to make a change were individuals who saw the need for change. People who said "If we die we die , but we wouldn't sit here and watch the system being ruined". All movement started with an individual who wasn't satisfied with what was considered as the new normal. Among the crowd, they were bold to speak out, not minding the risk, not afraid of the possible consequences that could befall those tagged as rebels.

To make a change, it begins with a man who's fed up with the status quo. It doesn't often need a group, one man is enough to make a change and it starts with saying "No" to a failed system. One unique trait about people who make a change is "Having a dream". Every revolution starts with a dream, a dream of a better future, a dream of a future where equity and justice reign, a dream of something that becomes a motivation and a force to die and live for. Until that dream becomes a force, change never happens.

Until we see the future from our present, people keep settling for less. But it doesn't take a group to start a change, it takes just an individual who isn't afraid to lose everything for the sake of what he is fighting for. They didn't care about the cost, they were willing to pay for their dream. Malala Yousafzai survived a bullet, but that didn't scare her from fighting, Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, but that didn't bind his spirit. No one says it's going to be easy, but that change starts with an individual who's ready to risk all for that one thing he dreams of.
