"To change the world, is to start by changing yourself"


We all talk about how change is needed, how we all must embrace change and we think how change is so good for us all. Change can be challenging. It comes gradually, with risks, setbacks, and criticism. And it is typically the fear of people around us that prevents us from taking the first step toward change. Because it exposes one to danger, the initial step is the most challenging and terrifying phase of the process. However, it also opens the door to greater freedom and opportunities. The decision to bring about change is difficult, and sticking on that path through exerting effort is also difficult and crucial, but as the saying goes, nothing good ever comes easy.

 


Change is never comfortable; it is not supposed to be. If it was, everybody would do it. But, as uncomfortable as it is, it is also necessary. When we dream of changing the world, we often forget that in order to change the billions out there, we must first change ourselves. That is where it’s supposed to start. We must believe in ourselves. The world may or may not follow but in our hearts, we know we took the leap and made the journey and reached where we planned to.

 


Over the years, I have made decisions that I was afraid to make because I knew that taking those routes meant opening myself up to new changes, which made me uncomfortable as well, but looking back, I am pleased I took those decisions and allowed myself to grow for the better.

 


To change is natural. To be afraid of change is also natural. But what makes us human is doing it anyway. We are members of the human race, and rather than being defined by our ability to change the world, we are defined by the choices that we make for ourselves and what we do to become better human beings, because that is where the change really starts.
