Be the Change

When looking at top news stories to write about I have a choice between the election or the declining market to write about if I do a search on Yahoo or Google. When is the world going to change I wonder? My friends are all saying its going to take years to see any turn around yet we are all in here sticking it out through the hard times. Hard as it may seem though I did not live through the great depression so I'm still considering myself fortunate under any circumstances.
Be the change you wish to see in the world
Mahatma Gandhi is quoted as saying, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." This is my favorite all time quote. The quote is so popular you can buy it on jewelry all over the web! How can one person change the world? Take all the good that you are and share it with others. It's a very selfless act learning to be kind to oneself so that you learn to share that with those around you. There was a similar movie to this concept - Pay It Forward.

Sometimes I'm in pain and hurting but I know I have the choice to be happPay it Forwardy and most days I am able to choose that even though my body may be hurting. I do my best and I hope in some ways I'm able to share that part of myself with others. Peace all!
