I read a quote a while back that read, "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself."
-Leo Tolstoy

I realized in some ways I fell into that trap as well. I know the only way to change the world is to change myself. The only way to lead is to lead by example. I agree with you 100% that we can change it into a culture of love by our thoughts and daily actions!

I have had huge changes happen over years, just bit by bit. That was great. But, I want to share that I had jaw dropping changes happen recently in a matter of a couple months. I got out of the military in September 2017. The beginning of the change was stopping all soda drinking. I was addicted to soda and knew that this was effecting my body in negative ways. We have a pretty good clean diet but I was struggling with the soda addiction. I stopped and that was probably the end of Sept. I also stopped drinking beer. I have had one beer and a couple glasses of wine since Sept and don't really care if I ever drink alcohol again. Maybe once in a while?...it doesn't matter to me at all. Not important these days. Yay!!! The physical change is that I lost 21 lbs and my back feels less hurty :)The emotional and spiritual changes have blown me away. I won't go into all that now, but thank you for this. The changes that I have went through have been AWESOME! Thank you for this, it gives me hope for human kind. Have a fun Sunday!
