Be The Change That You Wish To See In The World

Sometimes things don't go your way and the world appears to be crumbling down around you. You are constantly slammed with bad news and feel like you've been hit by a semi. Sometimes it is hard to see the light of things when you've been surrounded in darkness for so long. The thing is, life won't get better unless you make the first step to make improvements. If you don't like what is going on in the world then start becoming the change you want to see. Be there for people who need help, look for beauty in bad situations, and let happiness come to you and fill you up. Be love in a world filled with hate and keep a positive mind during negative times. You'll be surprised to see how far a little love and postivity will take you. With so many bad things happening lately, here are some quotes to maybe bring some inspiration and peace to your life.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”

-Martin Luther King Jr.

“We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.”

-J.K. Rowling

"You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind."

-Joyce Meyer

“Love lights more fires than hate extinguishes.”

-Ella Wheeler Wilcox

“We shouldn't live in a world where we live in constant terror. We need less dying and more living. We need less destroying and more building. We need less hate and more love.”

-Imania Margria

"If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity."

-John F. Kennedy

"An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind"

-Mahatma Gandhi

Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
