Take A Look At Yourself And Make A Change

Take A Look At Yourself And Make A Change

In the song by Michael Jackson, "Man In The Mirror," one of the lyrics are: "If You Want To Make The World A Better Place Take A Look At Yourself And Make A Change." I just love lyrics that hit a nerve.

You can look at the lyric "The World" and define it as "Your World" or "The Entire World." The one that hit home for me was "My World." When I was in my thirties "My World" was spinning out of control. It was so easy for me to blame all my personal problems on "The Entire World" around me.

With the suggesting of a Mentor (Bob was his name), I was encouraged to: "Take A Look At Myself And Make A Change." It didn't come fast or easy, but the changes I made put happiness back into my life.

As far as "The Entire World" goes, wouldn't it be great if everyone in power believed: "If You Want To Make The World A Better Place Take A Look At Yourself And Make A Change." Some in power are making changes that make the world a better place - can you spell "Bill and Linda Gates." Some in power are making changes, but not all of them are making the world a better place.

Some are changing "Their World" to enhance their position in life and could give a shit about how those changes affect "The Entire World." I'm not naming names because there are always two sides to a coin. This is not about any specific person. It's about all the people in power.

What I do believe is before you name names:

"Take A Look At Yourself And Make A Change."
