I love the reminder..."Let it begin with me" how many times have I wondered... how things could change.. when others would see their true purpose... when others could find their true light.. how healing could help another... if only they would do this or that... until I remember the saying... "Let it begin with me" I may never be able to change another... I may never understand what lies in their heart... the pain or saddness another carries... or guilt they've been felt to bear... yet I am often reminded... by this one little saying each day... that if I am true to myself... I can begin the way... It can begin with me... for it is all I have... I am only one... but my actions, behaviors and thoughts... do affect and carry over for others to see... then so let it be... that if I can only change one... then let it begin with me.
thank you for the reminder. I live in a situation where there are a number of alcoholics and indeed their behavior does affect me. I have to remember my behavior affects others too.
