If I ruled the world it would be significantly more
fantastic, but unfortunately, I don’t. Well,
maybe not so unfortunate. That would be
a huge responsibility, and wouldn’t leave me much time for training, and
spending time with my family, which would probably turn me into a miserable
dictator, but I digress.
But I noticed the other day that even a small drop in a
bucket makes a splash that is just a little bigger. When I make a change for the better, so does
everything around me. I’ve wondered if
it’s just my perception, but something like a clean house is measurable.
So here is my thought for the week: The only thing you can always change is
you. We get into trouble when we try to
change other people, the weather (yes, I’ve tried, but that’s another story),
or circumstances, like traffic. You can
change your behavior, you can change your focus, and you can change your
outlook. Gandhi is this: “If we could
change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man
changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him.
... We need not wait to see what others do.” And as usual I agree with him.
Complaining is easy, change is hard. Choose to make the changes that will make
your life better, and you will make the world a better place. Which is what we would do if we ruled the
world anyway, right?
