Relationships With Yourself: You Have It All Right Now

These words are said to be written on the tomb of an Anglican Bishop in the crypts of Westminster Abbey in London, England:
“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 my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.
And now as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed my self first, then by example I would have changed my family.
From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and, who knows, I may have even changed the world.”
You are the light that shines for rest of the world. People never change by force…they change by the example of leadership. We all remember that one person from our childhood that we wanted to be like when we grew up. Looking back, even today, we still have an endearing feeling for this individual that we may have never even seen since. The example of good leadership and holding of the light high for all to see not only illuminates our room but the room of others. What kind of example are you setting for others?
Just beyond our peripheral vision lies someone looking at us like we did to our heroes. In the mind of that person, perhaps even a small child, they are thinking of being like you and I when they grow up. They are creating their future selves in our image. What future self are you creating right now for you? Today is the most important day of your life. It’s the day you breathe life into each moment and are surrounded by the total influence of all that you have known. The completeness of who you are culminates in this moment and everything you have ever worked for is here right now.
