I think it's a too literal translation, hence sounds a little bit awkward. The first part ("If you can stay the same") omits detail about nature/intrinsic character (本质).

If you can maintain your nature unchanged, you actually changed the world.

Idiomatic translation. Though it's not literal translation, especially the second clause, it conveys similar meaning.
"If you can maintain your nature unchanged, you will have actually changed the world" would sound grammatically more correct.

If we can keep our essence unchanged, how can it not be a change to the world?
