Think about your life for a second. Have you ever been inspired by words of encouragement, a story you read in the paper, or even by watching a stranger do something righteous? Very likely, you have. In turn, you probably adopted similar behaviours and became an inspiration to others, even though you may not be aware of it.
Yes, there's pain-motivated change and the inevitable life-cycle changes, but none make us feel better than change through new information, positive incentives, and enthusiasm!
So how do we get people to change? Lead by example. Want more love? Give more love. Too much cruelty? Be ever so kind. Not enough happiness around you? Be the happiest person you know!
You must embody everything that you believe will heal the planet. The transformation begins within you.
Here's to random acts of benevolent love,

I also believe that when we lead by example and demonstrate love and passion in our walk,we allow one to see something from another point of view whether they change or not. Imparting ideas and getting them to think is just as important. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. I had my son enrolled in a muslim school from pre-k to 2nd grade and he was the only African-American male along with a little girl. A young muslim sister came and sat next to me on the bus one morning and told me that I was her inspiration for putting her son in that school because she saw me doing it and she knew she could do the same. I was floored. You never know who is watching you.
