Change Yourself, Change the World

"There are 4 ideas you have to believe if you seek to "be the change you wish to see in the world: 1. Real change requires patience: It takes time to move others through love (rather than by carrot or stick), but the results are real and lasting. 2. Real change is decentralized/local: The revolution will not be provided by governments or corporations. 3.

However, the world doesn't work that way -- each result is born of millions of conscious and unconscious acts. 4. Real change is never complete: Each person in society is a seeker.
