"Be the change you wish to see in the world" Ghandi

I probably came across this quote dozens of times in my life. But only recently did I seem to truly understand the meaning of it. Thinking about making a change in the world is overwhelming. One person cannot "save the world" on its own. But people, together, can make a difference.

However, there is often no point in trying to convince others of your points of view. The best way to influence and inspire people around you is to show them the positive results of one's change (s). No need for endless explanations or arguments. Make a decision, be the change you believe in and let the rest take care of itself. People around may start to be interested and enquire about your values, your opinions, your lifestyle. They will be more open minded than if they were "forced" to listen to you. And it's OK if a lot of people don't understand or don't agree.

In the end, you will have been true to yourself and have inspired many.
