Beginning With Ourselves

Several wise people have stated that you must be the change you seek to find in your world.
When we change ourselves to be the best we can be and to conform to our desires, we set an example for others. It is their choice to follow our example or not.
The closer our example conforms to their basic desires and needs, the better the chances they will desire to change and follow it.
Rather than use your time and resources trying to change others, invest this time in changing yourself and you will be amazed at the amount of grief and turmoil you will avoid.
