I was filling my ‘relaxing’ time this morning by browsing some quotes online. I came across this little peach by “lord of peace Ghandi” (Whitefield, 2006)…
“You must be the change you want to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)
It reminded me that my mum must be as wise as the man himself…as she is always saying - “think global, act local” (Macdonald, all the time). It’s a nice philosophy to live by. Don’t spend your life waiting for the big revolution to take place, don’t think that if everyone else does it…then you’ll go along, or even worse…that everyone else will do it. You do it. It’s your world. You use it, and often - you abuse it.

They might not have done it alone, but they were, without question, the change makers
