INSIDE OUT ~ Good Read Shared

We crawl before we walk. We learn arithmetic before algebra. We must fix ourselves before we can fix others. If you want to make a change in your life, the place to begin is with yourself, not with your parents, or your friends, or your professor. All change begins with you. It is inside out. Not outside in. I am reminded of the writings of an Anglican bishop :

When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world; As I grew older and wiser I realized the world would not change. And I decided to shorten my sights somewhat and change only my country. But it too, seemed immovable.

As I entered my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I sought to change only my family, those closest to me, but at last they would have none of it.

And now here I lie on my death bed and realize ( perhaps for the first time ) that if only I would changed myself first, then by example I may have influenced my family and with their encouragement and support I may have bettered my country, and who knows I may have changed the world.
