“If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken yourself, if you want to eliminate the
suffering in the world, then eliminate what is dark and negative in yourself. Truly the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation” ~ Lao Tzu
This quote reminds me of Mahatma Ghandi’s quote: 'Be the change you wish to see in the world'. Change happens one step at a time, one person at a time,
and always begins with self-change. Just as Lao Tzu says in the above quote, the way to experience anything in your world is to first, experience it within yourself. It is amazing how you bring into your experience exactly what you are. If you want more kindness in your life, be kinder and you will begin to notice kindness all around you. As you transform yourself, you begin to transform the world around you.
This week’s inspirational activity: Be the change you wish to see! Try it with something small and see what happens. If you want to experience nicer drivers when you’re in traffic, try being one of those nicer drivers to others and see what happens. You can truly change the world around you when you first,
change yourself.
