Change your life and world forever!

Welcome to Change Your
World!
Hello. My name is
Courtney Huntington, and I am the founder of Change Your World.
Are you interested in
having a better life? Are you interested in propelling yourself toward
massive, positive changes in your life? Are you interested in having
more money? Are you interested in being more effective in business? Are
you interested in being more kind and loving to your family? Are you
interested in helping prevent crime in your area? Are you interested in
living in a better house, a better neighborhood, or a better city? Are
you interested in having better relationships, both business and
personal? If any of these things appeal to you, you won’t want to miss
what you’ll read below.
How will you create massive change in your life? The only way to change
your world is by starting in your own backyard. I spent three years as
a high-school teacher, teaching subjects ranging from ancient and
medieval history to general science. I wanted to teach my students how
to live with integrity, and I knew that I couldn’t teach it unless I
lived it. How did I teach integrity? I resolved not to require anything
of my students that I wasn’t doing myself. I didn’t feel I had to
actually do every assignment with them, but the first time I was late
for class, I admitted my mistake, asked for their forgiveness, and
immediately loosened my standards on lateness for my students. Because
I had failed, I couldn’t be as hard on them. But what about my personal
standards? Did I loosen my personal standards for tardiness? No sir!
But I had to rebuild my reputation in that area, re-earn their trust,
and reestablish the standard. The only way to do that was to show
consistency.
In his book Awaken the Giant Within, Anthony Robbins says there are
three steps to creating lasting change: (1) Raise Your Standards—make a
list of all the things you refuse to allow anymore and all the things
you aspire to becoming; (2) Change Your Limiting Beliefs—without the
belief that you can meet or exceed your newly raised standards, you set
yourself up to fail; (3) Change Your Strategy—action is the key to
creating change, but having a good strategy ensures that your actions
are most effective.
There is an important principle that underlies these three, however. In
order to create a good environment for positive change, in order to
raise your standards, you must first take responsibility. If you don’t
take responsibility for your actions and choices—past, present, and
future—you will continue to struggle in finding success. One of the
foundation principles of Change Your World is this: “Change yourself
first.” It’s so easy to try to correct the flaws in others, even when
we make the same mistakes that we’re trying to correct in them. When
you see someone else’s mistake, look at yourself first and ask, “Do I
do that?” Whatever standard we hold others to we must hold for
ourselves, as well. In fact, we ought to measure ourselves by a higher
standard than we measure others by. Begin by changing yourself; then
you might be able to help others change, too. Can you change yourself
first? Will you change yourself first? Are you changing yourself first?
Change is a difficult process, and it requires tenacity—an unswerving
commitment to positive change. I and my team at Change Your World are
currently researching the most effective ways to create positive change
in our lives. We are committed to positive change in our own lives, and
we are committed to helping you—and others just like you—change your
own life. We want you to have a healthy, happy, and blessed life that
enriches you and all those around you. Our goal is to provide you with
ideas and tools that you need to change your life and the lives of
those around you for the better. I predict that this will grow into a
massive movement in positive life-transformation. Change Your World is
the tip of the iceberg; much more awaits you and me as the years go by.
Would you like to be part of something that will last for years to come
and change the lives of your family, your friends, and your associates?
You have the opportunity to change people you don’t even know. Would
you like to take hold of this opportunity? You have a unique
opportunity: Please don’t hesitate. Take responsibility for your future
self now!
