Changes

Everyone has had changes in his or her life. That’s what makes life interesting. When we look back at the changes that have occurred over our lives, we can determine our life’s path and why changes were and are important. Many people have survived, overcome, and succeeded following life-changing events. The world too has grown as a result of changes brought about by exploration, invention, and research. Embracing change is needed to create a life with trust and purpose. The following activities will assist participants to explore and acknowledge the value of changes in their own lives, other people’s lives, and in the world at large.

Part One: Personal Changes
Changes in one’s personal life often lead to previously undiscovered reserves of inner strength, altered outlooks, and unmitigated resolve. Taking a look at yesterday, and discovering the changes that led to the here and now, is a powerful tool to discover our inner flexibility and trust. The activities that explore personal changes will have participants present their personal biographies and life challenges (turning points). It is hoped that participants will find their unique and personal challenges an inspiration to themselves and to others. It is also hoped that participants can see that one’s life, when lived with continuous learning, is always changing.
Part Two: World Changes
The world is always turning and changing, along with the people in it. Changes in the world can assist mankind to unlock the mystery to developing a better way to a more peaceful existence. This part will provide participants the opportunity to uncover why and how the world and society change. Participants will discover the power of ordinary people who had dreams, and perhaps discover the value of their own dreams.
Learning Objectives
Participants will develop and present a personal autobiography, as well as determine, document, and communicate findings about a turning point in their lives. World social developments and biographies of renowned people who overcame barriers will be reviewed, discussed, and analyzed by the participants.
