Be The Change

"Be the change you want to see in the world." Ghandi


I was having my morning coffee, sitting on my deck, and listening to the birds sing this morning. I was thinking of how I wish some things in life were different, better, easier (ha ha), etc. And then this quote popped into my mind. I thought on it for quite a while. And then I grabbed my journal and jotted some thoughts down.

If you want something in your life to change, there is only one person that you can change. And that person is YOU. Not your parents. Not your family. Not your boyfriend. Not your spouse. Not your kids. Just YOU. So BE THE CHANGE.

In my world, I will...

Be more patient.
Be more kind.
Do less.
Relax more.
Be happy.
Be calm.
Be active.
Be healthy.
Spend more time in nature.
Learn more.
Experience more.
Buy less stuff.
Smile more.
Laugh more.
Hug more.
Read more.
Go outside more.
Plan less.
Ditch the screen.
Be more present.


These are things I wish for myself, but also for my kids, my friends, my family, and others around me. But I know. That I can only change myself. So I choose to BE THE CHANGE.
