Be the change

This is something I have been thinking about for a while. Everyone talks about wanting to meet "someone different", a "good friend" , "interesting people"...etc.We talk about how the world is going down the drain, be it anything from corrupt politics to the environment to pop music. We criticize others but forget we are part of the problem ourselves. but no one ever stops to think: why can't I be that person?
The world is full of people who are hungry for kindness. It's a truth everyone knows all too well, but unlike other problems, nobody seems to want to do something about it. Well, I have decided to put my foot down and do something about it. This is not about a self-righteous quest. I believe that we have the power to make our own reality, and the only way to do that is to actively take steps to change our situation. So let us stop lamenting our reality and change it. It doesn't matter who you are or where you are, everyone matters and everyone has something to offer. We are the movers and shakers of this world, and if you believe you can, you will. When you put something out into the universe, the universe will give it back to you.
So how about we start a campaign? Think of one thing you can do today to make this world a better place. It could be anything- literally anything, you can do to make a small ripple in the world around you, and who knows? Maybe that small ripple could be the basis for a tsunami of change. Never underestimate yourself, or anyone else. Everyone matters. 
Be the person you want to meet, and soon you will find yourself attracting people like you all the time. Birds of a feather, right?
Be extraordinary, be interesting, add value to the world. Be the change you want to see in the world, and sooner or later, the world will follow.
