The following words were found written on the tomb of an Anglican Bishop in the crypts of Westminister Abby:

"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 one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only family, those closest to me.  But, alas they would have none of it.

And now, as I lay on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.

From their inspiration and encouragement, I would have then been able to better my country, and, who knows, I may have even changed the world.

Change needs to begin with ourselves.  Change needs to start on the inside and flow out.  You are not a tree.  If you don't like who you are or where you are, make a change.  If you don't like what's going on in your life, talk to the person in the mirror.

Sometimes the hardest thing about making a change is just getting started.

"I have often found some of the greatest motivation and inspiration in achieving a goal is found by simply getting started.  Once you take a step past fatigue, boredom, obstacles, mental blocks and procrastination you find renewed energy and vision."   Jim Rohn
