You must be the change you want to see in the world

After so long not posting, restarting with an inspirational one.

Gandhi’s Top 10 Fundamentals for Changing the World

I particularly like the first one, "You must be the change you want to see in the world". And, “As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.”

This seems to me the answer to people who say, what is the point of me turning my light out as I leave the room - it's not going to make any difference. The difference is not my action of turning a light out, it's the change to my mindset if I do it because I want to step more lightly on this earth.
