Great People

Those people who believe that they are capable of changing are meant to strive to become better versions of themselves. They don't have to put "world peace" on their list; instead they start with small things that have tremendous impact on how they perceive their new selves. It can be in the form of ceasing or starting to do something. Some vow to quit smoking, casual sex or eating chocolates. Others prefer to be more affirmative and take on good habits like praying more often, greeting people at work or learning a new skill. The bottom line is, they are confident that they can change for the better. Otherwise they wouldn't be setting goals for themselves. They understand that it is imperative to tweak the way they live to be happier. The smarter ones know they cannot transform overnight, and so they take baby steps, making sure that each one is achievable and would lead to the next one. And that's how they eventually become great. While what they are doing is truly admirable, it is not enough for us to become spectators. Great people who lived before us are still remembered because they continue to inspire the ones who are still on this earth. That's us. In my opinion, the only way to live is to become the best you can be, and there is no excuse for not trying. So here's to a better you and an even better me. Cheers!
