Be The Change Affirmations & Quotes
"I can't change the world. I'm just one person. What can I do?" We think thoughts like this and we articulate and hear others articulate versions of this statement all the time. Yet, history is replete with examples of a single person or a small group people completely transforming the landscape. The cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead once wrote, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
Mahatma Gandhi, an example of one man who transformed everything, gave us the famous reminder at the top of this article that we must BE the change. Now, not everyone is going to be a Gandhi or someone who changes the world. Some of us are destined to do no more than change our minds or elevate our thinking to see beyond old paradigms. Yet, by doing that we are transforming far more than we imagine.
This I know. There is a complete spectrum of ways you can contribute. You may be on a mission to feed the hungry or eliminate injustice. You may change everything by being completely present for someone or sharing a smile or some eye contact. That moment of simply saying, “I see YOU and I know how unique and significant you are,” might change a moment, a life, or the world.
Today's affirmations and original quotes are for those committed to BEING the change and making a difference- whether it be to change the world, change a moment, or change a mind.
