Mahatma Gandhi believed that we must be the change we want to see in the world. We must demonstrate to the world why they need to change. Starting with ourselves. As our behavior attract others to behave similarly, theirs will attract yet even more.
If we want to change the world to be better, we must show the world. Not just tell them. Our every day behavior must reflect how we want the world to be. We are ambassadors of that change. Many great causes succeed because of the influence of one person. Mother Teresa and Gandhi are examples of changing the world by personal actions.
Whatever cause you believe in, be good ambassadors for it. That means being passionate without being confrontational. That means practicing whatever cause you believe in with compassion. That means let the world see you be the change you want them to be.
In order for things to change, I have to change. I can only change myself, I am not God and I can't change others. Just because we believe in a cause, it doesn't make us better than a person who doesn't. When we genuinely believe in the cause, so much so that we practice it, we are more apt to change others to be like us.
Be the change we want the world to be and the world will change with you.
