Let me tell you a secret-- you have incredible power inside of you. You need only to flip through the history pages to see that even one person can go against a culture and change it for the better. Where would the world be without Galileo, Martin Luther King, Jr., Gandhi and even Oprah Winfrey? These individuals took their personal cultures and by it, revolutionized the world.

You may be asking-- what has this got to do with me? Maybe changing the world is not in your to-do list this year; right now you can start with your goal to change life within your scope of influence.

We have heard that culture is the set of beliefs and ideas prevalent within a group of people. This does not mean only in the world or the national stage; culture applies to even the smaller groups you move in, like your family, society and your work place. In this article we tackle how to go beyond the corporate culture and purpose life improvement by creating your own.

In the'50s, a leader in an insurance company was known to give motivational pep talks to his people weekly. Even before, sales jobs would be stressful so this regular feeding of motivation quotes are events the employees would look forward to. When the leader had to go away for a period of time, he prepared recorded motivational talks to compensate for the time that he would be gone.

These recorded messages were so successful that the staff kept them long after their boss came back. In fact, the effective motivational quotes spread and to date, more than a million copies were sold. This story is based on real events and real people-more than that, you too can impact people of such magnitude.

Do you want this for your life? What are the dreams or goals that you have today? Write these down as well as the associations that come to mind when you think of these goals. Make it as specific as possible-what you have is the list of your paradigms. Once you have it in front of you, ask yourself what the reasons are for each of the mindsets you have formed throughout the years.

We come to the most important part of all-what are you going to do about it? You can either be a victim, a participant or a creator of culture as shaped by your paradigms. I suggest you choose to be the creator and change life to one that you want through the attitude that you choose to take and the words you decide to speak.

It doesn't matter if you are making a difference in people's sales jobs or the world-purpose life by creating a culture that you want. Unlock the power within you and be amazed at the incredible journey that lies ahead.
