Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself - Leo Tolstoy
I was really struck by this quote I saw from Tolstoy this week.
It fits in well with what I’ve been saying recently about “circle of influence” versus “circle of concern”.
I’m happier when I focus my attention on what’s in my own power (my actions, words, behaviours) rather than on events that are beyond my control.
That doesn’t mean I don’t pay attention to what’s going on in the world.
But that world events are seen with perspective and I’m not worried about changing anything that is far beyond my circle of influence.
I’m more concerned about working on my own state of consciousness and my own contribution.
