“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” ― Leo Tolstoy
There was a time when I very seldom smiled. Several times, someone made the remark, “I was not certain if it was okay to speak to you because you seemed angry all the time. But since getting to know you, I’m not sure why I thought that.”
One day, after someone made that comment, I gave it some serious thought and decided, “From now on, I will have a smile on my face no matter what is happening in the world.”
That one simple change in myself has made all the difference in the world for me. People are friendlier. Where I once had a problem starting a conversation with others, I no longer have to worry about what to say to others. People now start conversations with me.
So, it is true. If you want your world to change, you first must make changes in yourself.
Until next time, take care. lw
