So many people expect change in others, expect change in the world but are never willing to change themselves first.

If you want to see change in others, you must first be the change you wish to see.

If I want others to be better, I must be better.

If I want my loved ones to change, I must be that change.

If I want my kids to become a certain way, I must live that way.

I must be that example, not tell them how to be but be that person.

If I want them to be kind to others, I must be kind to others.

If I want them to live fully as themselves and not wear any masks to fit in with others, I must be that person free from fear of judgment and live as I wish to live.

If I want them to be giving I must be giving, giving of my time giving of my love, my spirit, my presence.

If I want them to be healthy, I must live healthy in every area.

If I expect others to be grateful, I must be grateful first.

I must show my gratitude.

If I want others to live the life they wanna live, I must set that example by loving the life that I live.

If I want other people to make happiness and love a priority in their lives I must make happiness and love a priority in my own life.

If I expect others to be kind I must be kind.

I must be compassionate.

If I expect others to listen and be understanding, I must listen.

Really listen and really try to understand.

I do expect all these things so I will live as all these things.

I will live as the person I expect of others.

I will be the change that I wish to see.
