I wanted to change the World

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker

In an Industry when we are bombarded with all the thoughts of change that must take place in our schedules, work environment,technology services coming at us exponentially everyday, and a world of self proclaimed authorities and critics one needs to really reach from within to see clearly the path they need to walk. Sometimes we can have great demands put on us in these challenging times. When we weather a storm we know we can always look forward to the fresh air and sunshine that follows it. When things are put in perspective and we really know the importance of life, and it's fragility the little things we overlook on a daily basis at times really are our strengths and motivation. I know where I derive mine from.

I remember seeing the following quote from a renowned novelist and I still reflect on it from time to time.

"I wanted to change the world. But I have found that the only thing one can be sure of changing is oneself."
Aldous Huxley

Wishing you a productive day, and see you at closing!

Tom, what a great thought,and it is so true.  But, on the same token, we have to keep pushing for changing the things we can't control outside of ourselves too.  I miss you!  How are you doing?

True, but I was making reference that it really is the attitude we adopt that can help guide us.

Tom, great wisdom in knowing the power to change the world lies in the power to change ourselves.

Kind of sounds like the song " I'm starting with the man in the mirror." Good post. Thanks for thought.
