Be The Change
“Be the change that you want to see in the world.” Indian Sage Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948)
It’s easy to be an armchair critic and analyze the actions and deeds of others. The rubber meets the road when we ourselves are put to the test. And we don’t have to wait for some trauma or tragedy or special event to occur to test out our moxie or our motives of intent.
Our daily lives are filled with moments and seasons of opportunities to be the change that we want to see. We all would like to be forgiven for our mistakes, acknowledged for our good deeds, shown genuine love, kindness and respect by people in our lives, given a helping hand or a shoulder to lean on when we are hurting, help and support in those areas of daily living where we have two left feet and can never seem to get it right, etc.
Simple acts of kindness, consideration, thoughtfulness and peaceful provocations can bring about far more positive changes than we may have ever imagined.
It is awesome to consider the possibilities of peace and innovation that we could all experience if we find a way to be the change that we want to see.
