You will still have your flaws, anger, negativity, self-sabotaging tendencies etc. Not only because you are now viewing your environment through new lenses of thoughts and emotions but also because the change within can allow you to take action in ways you wouldn’t have – or maybe even have thought about – while stuck in your old thought patterns.Īnd the problem with changing your outer world without changing yourself is that you will still be you when you reach that change you have strived for. If you change how you think then you will change how you feel and what actions you take. If you change yourself you will change your world. “As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.” “You must be the change you want to see in the world.”
