Taking over the World

When we were little, we dreamt of taking over the world. We dreamt of being famous, of being astronauts, firefighters, singers, dancers, actors, policemen, politicians. We dreamt of being people of influence, with the power to be world-changers. We were hopeful, and we couldn't wait to remake the world the way we thought it should be, making it fit our image.

Then, we grew up. We got real. We decided our dreams were foolish. We  went to college for business and accounting, teaching and nursing. Some of us found new passions, and others just drifted along with the current. We decided that the world didn't depend on us.

But we were wrong. Very soon, we are going to take over the world whether we realize it or not. There will be no coup, no media coverage, no new world order. We will take over the world quietly. It will happen one day at a time, one idea after another. We will suddenly be the ones making the decisions. The ones voting on new laws, or not. The ones speaking up against the wrongs of the world, or not. We will be the ones acting like adults, or we won't be. We will change the world, or we won't.

It is our destiny, greater than we ever dreamt as children. We are Plan A for the future of the world. If we don't take up the challenge to take over the world, no one else will. We are Plan A, and there is no Plan B.

Very soon, we will take over the world. Will we know what to do with it when it's ours?
