You must be the change you wish to see in the world.–Gandhi
That is probably one of my favorite quotes, because it is so true. Change begins inside oneself and as change is intregrated fully, it becomes visible to other people. Kindness and positivity attract people like a lodestone. If I feel good, then the people around me will feel good.

It’s good to be passionate about what you believe in; it’s not good to make other people feel like crap because they have a *different* idea of how life should be. Imagine being kind to people to get your message across. I used to think people wanted it shoved down their throats and ridiculed. Note the sarcasm.
Everyone’s heard of the old adage, “You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar”. It’s true. I strive to always be kind and open to new ideas and how other people see the world and how we can improve upon it. I’m a big believer in self improvement, I’m always making an effort to
The change I want to see in the world is for everyone to stop critizing, stop being harsh with frail feelings, and to just learn to tolerate. Don’t confuse tolerate with acceptance, just learn to tolerate…I’m just asking for tolerance because long held ideas and deep beliefs can’t easily be overcome.
Maybe if I close my eyes and hope with all my heart, it will come true.
