If I could change one thing it wouldn't be famine, poverty, hunger, or greed.

It's not to bring world peace, or stop hate or end slavery. 

Not because I don't think these are problems, they are.

It's not that I don't think they need to change, they do.

But our problem, the world's problem, is much smaller.

And yet it is so much bigger.

Money, war, race, religion, hate.

They're all part of the problem, 

But the root is not the things, It's the people.

It's you.

And it's me.

So thats where I'm going to start. 

Like MJ "I'm startin' with the man in the mirror."

If I can change myself I can change anything.

After all the first step to recovery is admitting.

I need to change myself,

Before I work on anyone else.

When people ask me if I could change one thing

I just say one thing. ME. 

This seems to confuse people.

They always think im asking "me?"

But I'm not. 

I know that they expect some book answer.

Like "Poverty." "War." or  "Global warming."

But that's not what needs to change. 

I do. You do. We do.

Because nothing changes by itself. 

It requires action.

You don't see trees fight back against lumberjacks. 

Or oil spills clean themselves up.

Or impoverished countries finance their own loans.

It just doesn't happen.

In order for something to start working, 

For things to change, 

I need to change myself,

Change my ways.

What about you?

What will you do?
