The following words are said to be written on the tomb of an Anglican Bishop in the crypts of Westminster Abbey in London, England.
"When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world.
As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But, it too, seemed immovable.
As I grew into my twilight years, in a last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.
And now as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed my self first, then by example I would have changed my family.
From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I may have even changed the world."
Do you have many things in the world that you would like to see done differently? Ever done anything about it yourself? ……Want to start today?
Just asking…..think about it and….of course……... as always…………..
