You must be the change you wish to see in the world. Yes, If you want change, start with yourself - be the change you wish to see in others… Be a great example, then others will follow.
I guess most of us are familiar with this very popular quoted lines, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” by Gandhi.
Sometimes, we need to act and let other people see that things could be possibly done, so they would follow your example. It’s normal for human beings to want to stay on their comfort zones or to just continue doing what they do just because it’s what the multitude think and say they should do, or simply because they think that they can’t change.
I used to be an alcoholic, a drug dependent as well as a chain smoker, but I was able to change, and it’s been six years since then. At first, my friends thought I was just kidding when I told them that day would be the last for all those addictions and vices and the next day I would change for the better. They never believed I would be able to make it. But, I guess all it takes is conviction. I kept on repeating to myself… “Lex, you must be the change you wish to see in your friends and the rest of the world.”
I was able to do it, and when my friends saw that great change in me, they believed that it could be done and they followed. Now, we’re all living clean, after all the clinical trials. Free from alcohol, drugs, etc., and I discovered that life is so much better since then.
again…
If you want change, start with yourself – - be the change you wish to see in your friends, family’s, neighbors, and most importantly to the youth of today.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world!
