To be meditated upon

Hello,
Start with yourselves

When I was young and free and possessed of an unbridled imagination, I dreamed of changing the world.
Having become wiser, I understood with the passing years that the world would not change, so I somewhat narrowed my ambitions and decided to change only my country.
But he too seemed immutable.

As I approached old age, in a supreme and desperate attempt, I decided to change only my family, those closest to me; alas! they would hear none of it.
And now, lying on my deathbed, I suddenly understand: if only I had changed myself, then, by my example, my family would have changed as well.
From their inspiration and encouragement, I would have drawn the strength to improve my country, and who knows, I might even have changed the world!

Hello Marylena,

Your citation, so just and wise, is in fact only one of the golden rules of Reiki:

• Never work on someone who has not explicitly requested it
• And above all, if something in our environment doesn't suit us, we should not try to change it, but instead do some work on ourselves in relation to that environment.
  It is our own change in behavior that will make others change their behavior toward us.
