Everyone Thinks of Changing The World, but No One Thinks of Changing Himself

How true is this saying? Very true… Guilty as charged!

Everyone blames this person, that person, the Government, the devil … for everything that goes wrong.

Ask a typical Nigerian why isn’t anything working? The expected answer you’ll get is “it’s the Government”. Yes they may be right to some extent and wrong too.

Let’s run through of series of question and answers to ascertain a fact.

Q: Who makes up the Government, spirits or humans?

A: Humans

Q: Did they fall from the skies?

A: No

Q: Do they have parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews….?

A: Yes, they do.

Q: Do they live among us?

A: They do.

Q: So who then is the government?

A: You and I, fact established!

 

Change they say starts from the individual. Change begins with you.

How funny is it that we don’t see ourselves as part of the problems. No wonder things have remained the same way they have always been with insignificant difference or a significant difference to the negative.

If everyone in the world decides to change for the better, the world would be a better place.

Be the change you want to see!
