Change yourself first before changing the society.

we are more focused on changing the people and society around us than we are on how important it is to change ourselves first.This is one of the most basic principles of existence. And yet, for some reason, we are more focused on changing the people and society around us.
We may not be guilty of some of the horrendous things other people are, but we are guilty of something. Every last one of us.

If we want a more loving, accepting and equal society, we need to be more loving, accepting and equal. The world will only change as changes in individual levels of consciousness occur.

There are exceptions, but ultimately, the similarities in what we all seek are to live peacefully, to love and be loved, and to change what’s wrong with society.
Now, I do realize that it seems counter-intuitive: why change myself if there’s nothing wrong with me? I’m not the one who is responsible for the terrible things that are embedded in our culture. But you are responsible for something, and you are responsible for yourself.

Nobody expects you to be perfect, but you are expected to at least try. Do that for yourself, and watch who follows your lead.
