Start With Yourself

When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits,
 I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser,
 I discovered the world would not change,
 so I shortened my sights somewhat
and decided to change only my country.
But, it too, seemed immovable.

As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt,
I settled for changing only my family,
those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.

And now as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize:
 If I had only changed my self first,
then by example I would have changed my family.

From their inspiration and encouragement,
 I would then have been able to better my country
and, who knows, I may have even changed the world.

The above words are said to be written on the
 tomb of an Anglican Bishop in the crypts
of Westminster Abbey in London, England.
