Quote for the Day - Changing the World

I thought I could change the world. It took me a hundred years to figure out I can't change the world. I can only change Bessie. And honey, that ain't easy either.

Annie Elizabeth (Bessie) Delany, 1891-1995
African-American Author and Civil Rights Pioneer

Isn't that the truth. Dreams of changing the world are not uncommon and yet we can only truly change ourselves. However, when we take the time to live with integrity and speak our truth, we do impact the world. Don't ever downplay the difference one person can make. Live life to it's fullest. Enjoy every minute. Speak up for what you believe in. Be who you are in all your glory. Imagine if everyone did this....
