Theme: A Catalyst For Change

A catalyst is a substance that aids to speed up a chemical reaction but it is left unchanged. Without catalysts, reactions could take days, weeks- or even YEARS! It has been said that humans might not have existed at all or at least not until a trillion years later.
Individuals that inspire us, that are insightfully causing the change for us, are left unchanged. They simply extract the best and speed up what you already have within you.
