Every single person has the power to make amazing change; we just have to look within ourselves to do it.
It may be simple to say we wish things were different, but we should live it.
āBe the change that you wish to see in the world.ā
ā Mahatma Gandhi
These three wordsāāBe the changeāāarenāt just a nice saying; itās like a superhero message for everyone.
It means if you want the world to be a good place, you have to be a good person in it, making little changes that add up.
So, how does it start? Not with big actionsā¦ Big action is for show.
Just doing your part can help change things around youā¦ but to really make a difference takes guts, follow-through, and new-style thinking.
And follow-through?
That tough third step you take when the going gets toughānot just hoping things will get better but making your own wish come true with some action.
You absolutely can make a change starting now with how you do your stuff and how you feel about it.
Letās go for ten ways you can be the change you hope to see and light up the world for everyone every day.
