CHANGE THE WORLD BY CHANGING ME
The Sufi Bayazid says this about himself: “I was a revolutionary when I was young and all my prayer to God was ‘Lord, give me the energy to change the world.'” “As I approached middle age and realized that half my life was gone without my changing a single soul, I changed my prayer to ‘Lord, give me the grace to change all those who come in contact with me. Just my family and friends, and I shall be satisfied.'” “Now that I am an old man and my days are numbered, my one prayer is, ‘Lord, give me the grace to change myself.’ If I had prayed for this right from the start I should not have wasted my life.” From The Song of the Bird, by Anthony de Mello
