A wise man was once quoted as saying, "The more things change, the more they stay the same!" This thought suggests that most human behavior is conditioned by habit and familiar behavioral patterns. Therefore there will be times when you observe what you believe to be a significant change in people, only to discover that they eventually revert back to their same old ways. Or you might observe a series of ground-breaking events which give the appearance of significant change, but eventually, things return like they were in the beginning essentially remained the same.
Guess what? The only way to really CHANGE the things that exist in the world around you is for YOU to change! That's right! You can wait for change, wish for change, work for change, and even pray for change, ALL YOU WANT! But unless YOU LEARN how to embody and reflect the change you are seeking, things will remain the same. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
This might seem a bit confusing to you, but really its simple. It is virtually impossible to FORCE change upon people or situations, particularly if they believe the time is not right, or when they are simply NOT READY to receive and embrace that change. It like trying to clap with one hand! It really won't work! Why? Because it takes two sides, or two parties, agreeably working together, in order to make that happen. Its nothing you can FORCE, and certainly nothing you can RUSH!!
But here's what you CAN do! You can ask yourself, "What is there about MY attitude, MY actions, or MY behavior that might help to bring about the change that I'm wishing for?" And once you 
clear about what YOU can do, by all means, DO IT!! You might be surprised to discover that when YOU CHANGE, everything and everyone around you will begin to change as well.
YOUR attitude and YOUR behavior is infectious, and it is far more influential than you may realize! So YOU are a game changer, whether you believe it or not! And YOUR BEHAVIOR is the crucial factor for the change you are seeking. FACTS!! When YOU change, everything around you will begin to follow your pattern, because CHANGE is not a one-sided, instantaneous event! It’s more like YOU, leading a mighty orchestra; that slowly builds to a great climax!!!
Dreamer ion, if YOU & I don't start that process with OUR LIVES, the applause, which we so dearly love to hear in the end, will be nothing more than the sound of one hand clapping!!
