    “I’m starting with the man in the mirror /
    I’m asking him to change his ways /
    And no message could have been any clearer /
    If you wanna make the world a better place
    Take a look at yourself and then make a change /”
    Michael Jackson, Man in the Mirror

    “Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thing was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.”
    Anthony Robbins

    “Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.”

    “It’s like trying to stop a fire/
    With the moisture from a kiss /
    And I hear them saying you’ll never change things /
    And no matter what you do it’s still the same thing /
    But it’s not the world that I am changing /
    I do this so this world will know /
    That it will not change me”
    Garth Brooks, The Change
