Be the Change You Wish To See

Instead of complaining about the way the world is be the change you wish to see. We all admire those seemingly rare individuals who rise to fame and fortune like our dearly departed Dolly Parton, yet stay true to their desire to make a positive difference in the world. No one denies that Dolly made a difference in her eighty years. If a poor little girl from East Tennessee could do that so can you and I.

Gandhi brought the change he wanted to see in India with non-violent protest. He was a hero of Martin Luther King Junior and Nelson Mandela who followed in his footsteps and brought about positive change in their countries through non-violent protest. Dolly and Gandhi left quite a legacy. Most of us will never have the platform that they did, yet we can also leave a legacy of love and good deeds that will live long after us.

I say it again, “Be the change you want to see in the world. We were born to make a difference, let us make it a positive one.
