Man (or woman) in the mirror

Two great quotes — the first a Michael Jackson lyric, and the second a story from one of Anthony de Mello’s books that remind us to be accountable and to BE the change we seek.

I’m starting with the man in the mirror; I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could’ve been any clearer; if they wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

To a disciple forever complaining about others, the Master said, “If it is peace you want, seek to change yourself, not others. It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than to carpet the whole of the earth.”
