Positively you know, that you know, that you know...

People become as you treat them

A parent may treat a child as weak by always being there to help them. The child becomes an adult and there is an appetite to be cared for and rescued. A partner treats her husband as a loser, he soon starts to behave so. People become as we treat them. You, therefore, have the chance to change the world by treating people better than they treat themselves. People become as you treat them. 

You become as you treat yourself too. Did you know that nobody can treat you better or worse than you treat yourself?

Start with the value of their time. Start with the value of your time. What do you want out of a day? What do you hope for from others in the hour? Are you treating people as genius or fools? People become as you treat them.

Tonight, treat yourself and others as you wish you (them) to become. See how it goes.

When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world: as I grew older and wiser I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change my country, but it too seemed immovable. As I grew into my twilight years in one last desperate attempt I settled for changing only my family, those 
 closest to me. But alas they would have none of it! 
And now I realize as I lie on my deathbed, if I had only changed myself first, then by example I might have changed my family. From then, by example, I might have changed my friends. 
From their aspirations and encouragement I would have then been able to better my country, and who knows, I might have even changed the world.
