"We seek not rest but transformation. We are dancing through each other as doorways." --Marge Piercy

Change Yourself, Change the World

"There are 4 ideas you have to believe if you seek to "be the change you wish to see in the world: 1. Real change requires patience: It takes time to move others through love (rather than by carrot or stick), but the results are real and lasting. 2. Real change is decentralized/local: The revolution will not be provided by governments or corporations. 3. Real change cannot be traditionally measured: We are a society that believes strongly in measurable cause and effect. However, the world doesn't work that way -- each result is born of millions of conscious and unconscious acts. 4. Real change is never complete: Each person in society is a seeker. As nobody has the answers, it is incumbent on all of us to humbly support each other in being better people." Birju Pandya shares his ideas for how changing yourself changes the world.
