Creating change in your life can begin by making a contribution. Some people have the idea that they want to make a change, yet, they don't know where to begin.  I found out personally a long time ago that sometimes the catalyst to changing is through doing something for someone else.  Everyone has their own talents and unique gifts and the ability to share those with others allows for personal growth.  The great residual of helping others is that you get so much satisfaction and conversely it begins to change who you are.  It also changes those people around you because you are no longer the same person that you used to be.  Sometimes that change is difficult for people who know you to accept, however, your true friends and close family will be your biggest supporters because they love and accept you unconditionally.  Remember that change and contribution can be a great fit, you just have to take that first step and look forward to the possibilities that you create as a result.
