CHANGE THE WORLD…
Our world is but a reflection of who we are. Therefore, if we want to change the world, all we have to do is change ourselves.
We do not need to change our parents for raising their voice at us, but rather listen to them carefully when they speak. We do not need to change those who treat us like kids, but rather act more mature around them. We do not need to change our supervisors for not trusting us, but rather do an outstanding job consistently and gain their trust. We do not need to change an irresponsible spouse, but rather be respectful, patient and responsible. We do not need to end our lives when life’s challenges overwhelm us, rather wait on the Almighty knowing fully well that a leaf never falls off its tree without His consent.
The world is not something mystical or unknown. The world is the exact reflection of that which we choose to ignore about ourselves. The way to change the world is not by changing the world but by changing ourselves….perception, mindset and tolerance level.
“You cannot help others become a better person unless you are that person”
– Dan Kelly.
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world”
– Mahatma Gandhi
So what do you want to change in the world today? Lemme tell you what you should change about you…
