You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
— Mahatma Gandhi
Do you ever wish to see change in your world. Do you think there is indeed a better way. Easy to see right, hard to put into place as most people hate change, they fear it, it is uncomfortable to them.
A change agent changes the way something has always been done, rearranges the furniture to make it fit better, look better, perhaps enhances something and often a change agent finds resistance.
But with anything worthwhile it takes work, effort and constant positive communications.
Sometimes its the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.
~ Keri Russell
The smallest of decisions can have the biggest impact on your life and the life of others.
The decision to find gratitude daily and speak it sounds easy and very simple. It is.
The decision to not care what others think as it is truly none of your business, sounds easy and simple.
It is.
The decision to share a smile, find a kind word or share some laughter is a very simple decision.
It is.
The change agent finds the simple and easy and completes it for a better moment in their life and the lives of those around them.
This month can you become a change agent?
It is very easy. It is very simple.
Find a void, a whole in the world or in someones life and FILL IT.
May your smiles be shared. May your laughter create more. May your actions find another soul that just may need some inspiration.
Smiles as always sent your way. Today and everyday : )
