Be the change

This is one of my favorite quotes of all time. I’ve seen it written in many different ways; my very favorite being “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Gandhi did so many amazing things and his words, this quote in particular, continue to inspire and encourage people. The photo is another one I took in “the magic field” where I currently live and the quote is a photo I took a couple years ago in London. The original photo makes me a bit sad, but I remember being really shocked to see these words in such a place. Here is the original:


Much more gloomy compared to the first photo. I almost posted just this, but then I realized that the surroundings are far from the change I want to see in the world.

I really like this a lot. And it really sticks with me right now. There are so many things that I need to change but that isn’t going to happen unless I do it myself. This really makes me put my whole life into perspective right now. I’m really glad I got on here this morning. I don’t know if this quote would have made that much of an impact on me any other day. Thanks for posting this ๐Ÿ™‚
