Be The Change

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
~Mohandas Gandhi

Through writings and speeches, protests and fasts, Mahatma Gandhi sought to change much of the world around him: not just British rule in India, but relations between men and women, Muslims and Hindus, and injustices at all levels of society. Implied in all of those goals is a fundamental rethinking of our individual conduct. To the skeptics who insisted that they could not change unless the world changes first, Gandhi replied, "No, the world will not change if we don't change."

How do we change ourselves or "be the change?" That's a question we all have to answer individually, over and over, probably for the rest of our lives.
