Change; It Starts With Me

3 Steps in Changing Yourself

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." 

I came across of this quote while browsing the internet for an essay of, 'Change; It Starts With Me'. It's funny that I'm writing an essay that has a theme of 'change' when I cannot seem to change my dirty ways of writing, searching. All we want to do and say is change the world for the better but even our own selves have no indication to change for the better.

How can we change the world if even our own selves cannot change? It is important that before we think of changing the world, we first need to change the one inside of us.

There are three steps in changing ourselves for the better:

   1. Take small actions. Take a look of your surroundings or the ones around you if they are hurt with what you are saying. Take a look if they don't like what you are doing, if they don't like your attitude. This is when you know that you need to change that certain attitude for the better. These small actions can help you in changing for yourself.

   2.  Ask for help. In changing, it is important that we know who can help us in changing. You are important, each and everyone of us are important to receive help from others. It's not a sign of weakness but a sign of determination and strength to change.

   3. Prove that you are confident. Confidence is the key to everyone's fear. People sometimes think to change but is afraid of failing, but when you have the confidence to change for the better, this is the right time to prove that you can change. Nothing will go wrong if you have confidence to make a change for yourself.

These are the three steps in changing. What will you do first? Remember that when changing the world, it starts with you.
