Every time I feel the need of changing the world around for a better life for myself and others, now a days, I get back to this- the only way is change myself ! Trying to look for qualities of honesty, integrity, empathy, compassion in others I realize that it gets much easier, in case I try to attain these rather than wishing others to do the same.
The point I want to make is very simple/easy and difficult at the same time to achieve.
Easy - because the solution is you, yourself, nothing outside you.
Difficult - on account of the same reason. The change has to come from within you and mind it, it is not easy at all. Otherwise things would have been rather different by now !
In a nut shell the change will not come by demanding others to change and has to be in you ! And unfortunately we are not trained to think like this and hence the chance of getting a solution goes tumbling down. Every time I feel overwhelmed by this thought I try to bring myself to normal level and focus only on how to change myself.
