It Begins With Us

    One quote by Mahatma Gandhi that has lingered in the back of my head is, "Be the change that you wish to see in the world." I have made decisions throughout the years that I was afraid to take because I understood that doing so would lead me to new changes. For someone like myself who struggles to leave her comfort zone, I find it extremely difficult to change. Change is difficult because it occurs gradually and comes with risks, difficulties and judgment. However, once you have come to accept change and step outside of your comfort zone, you will be reminded that it is an important part of our personal development. Everyone wants to see the world change, but we're don't know where to begin.

    Change is never easy, as everyone knows—if it were, everyone would make it. However, despite the difficulty it is, it is also important. Sometimes, we forget that we have to change ourselves before we can change others, even if our dreams involve changing the world. That is where it's supposed to start. It's important to have trust in ourselves. Whether the world follows up or not, we know deep down that we made the risk, crossed the distance, and arrived at where we were going.

    Furthermore, we are all aware that fear is what prevents us from making a change. Since it feels like it reveals ourselves, the initial step is the most difficult and frightening part of the process. However, the more we look at it, the more we see that change also creates huge opportunities and freedom.

    If we start with ourselves, we may bring change and improve the world. Being able to improve myself will allow me to contribute back more to my loved ones and community. I might be able to have an impact on the world by starting a change and bringing beneficial changes into my life.
