One small change..

We need a change.. Not a change in the world.. A change in yourself!

We all think about changing something in the world. But no one does think about changing themselves. Some great person said "The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking". 
Yes... We all need to change our mindset and attitude about each and everything we are expecting to change in this world.

Let's start with an example of a small family: Mom, Dad and an 8-year old kid.. Dad is too grumpy, shouting all the time, finding mistakes in each and everything. Mom is very silent, doesn't talk much, does her work as a "duty". The kid doesn't like to be at home because of this attitude of his parents. He doesn't want to talk to his parents too. He has turned an introvert already.
One Morning: Mom prepares breakfast, lunch for everyone. Dad is shouting that the breakfast is not good. The kid is getting ready to school. He needs some money for his drawing competition and he asks his dad. His dad shouts at him saying, "Study properly, no need of drawing, you are not going to become a painter in life". The kid is disappointed. Now mom gets tea and by mistake she drops it on dad's shirt. Oh my god! What just happened!! The "always shouting" dad just got up, changed the shirt and went to office. And now, mom and the kid are left scandalized. They were expecting a war at home in this situation. But, dad did not even speak a single word. And what's going in dad's mind now. He himself is surprised by his reaction. He is thinking, "why didn't I shout?", "it was not purposefully dropped on my shirt", "how calm was the house when I stopped shouting?", "what might be my wife feeling now?", "what might my kid be thinking?". He calls up home (which he normally never did) and talks to mom. Mom has another surprise today! She says "Sorry" for dropping the tea and starts happily talking about what she did the whole day. Dad just feels the change in him and what difference his change has made. He comes in the evening and sees the kid happily waiting for him holding a drawing of his family, of course with a smile on his dad's face(all these days his drawings had a grumpy-faced dad)

This is just a small situation where just a small reaction changed the whole day of three lives. So now let's think, Is it so difficult to change? No, not at all.. Give a small change in your life everyday, in every action you do, every word you speak, every smile you give. 

Of course, you are living for yourself, you need not change for anyone. But just think, the whole world is not "just you". There are so many people around you who love you. Bring a small change in your life for those loved ones and just feel the happiness in you. If you are happy, you can achieve what you want. 

To bring a change in our country, think what you can change in yourself. Give a little thought. To change a country like India, one doesn't need intelligence or courage. He just needs patience and perseverance. Perseverance to make the change happen and patience to wait for it.
