Inspire people to make changes in the world, instead of just unhappily accepting it as it is.

i had a friend tell me the other day that she learns a lot from me. she told me she was proud of how much i’ve changed in the past two years. she asked advice on how i’ve become happier (she’s going through a few things) and i just smiled and told her she should try practicing the things she likes to see in the world, and that she should realize that change isn’t always so bad.
i didn’t know that i got through to anybody just by being who i am now, considering i’m still trying to be better everyday. it really made my day with what she said.=).

I’d like to inspire people to do nice things, but I realize that I have to start off with myself first.
I’m trying to be the change I want to see in the world.
and maybe, you know, I’ll inspire someone.
inform some people.
but not be sneaky and brainwashing, you know?
