Be the Change


This is my favourite quote, by Gandhi.

-Gandhi


If you want a cleaner world, stop littering. Reduce, reuse and recycle. Use public transport. Cycle to school and to work.

If you want a friendlier world, start with yourself. Smile. Be nice to people. Be happy. Be cordial. Don’t judge too fast.

If you want an honest world, start saying the truth every time. Be open and honest in your relationships with people.

If you want a safer world, let it start at home. Educate your children how all humans are equals. How everyone deserves the same respect. Set the example.

Sometimes, all it takes is one person to inspire a movement towards change. It’s as simple as that.

    Smiling always works doesn't it and I always try to remember the saying 'treat others how you want to be treated.'
    You are right, it only takes one person!

    Have a good day

      Smiling does work really well. It not only makes the other person feel more pleasant, it puts you in a much better mood too!

    That is wonderful. Especially when so many like to complain and judge, it is better to be the light than add to the darkness. Found your link through the link up.

    There is so much negativity and aggression in the world, that it could all change if people just changed their attitude. I used to be a bit of a grump and never smile, but now I do it more often. From tiny acorns do mighty oaks grow :)

      Add intolerance too to that list of negatives in this world! It would be nicer place if everyone was a bit more tolerant.

    Your blog title 100% makes me think of Once Upon a Time. I hope you've seen it because it's amazing, but they always drink hot chocolate with a tiny amount of cinnamon. :)

      I haven't seen the whole series, I'm not big on T.V. But I've seen quite a few episodes, it's really intriguing! And no, I had no idea they drink hot chocolate with cinnamon in it :) [it does taste good!]
