Changing the World

Posted on June 20, 2012 by russtowne

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” — Rumi

I love this quote and have learned that when I change myself I change the world, and the same holds true for everyone else.

I saw the Rumi quote via Online Wellness Network.
