There’s More Than One Way to Change the World

Interesting reactions to an inspirational quote

Image created by Jacquelyn Lynn using MockupShots

What would the thirteenth-century Persian poet Rumi think of the reaction we got when we quoted him in a Shareable Saturday email?

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” ~ Rumi

Krystal Parker, president of the Central Florida Christian Chamber, observed:

“The ironic thing about this quote is that by focusing on the change within, one can actually make a greater impact on the world.”

Exchange student coordinator Sue Peterson said simply:

“Wonderful wisdom!!!”

But some folks found an element of humor in Rumi’s words.

Mark Goldstein, Central Florida area director with Christian Leadership Concepts, made this prediction:

“Tomorrow I’ll be senile so someone else will have to change me!”

And Kevin W. McCarthy, bestselling author and founder of On-Purpose Partners, said this:

“And wisest of all, I just decided to change my clothes! That’s about the degree of my sphere of control.”

Somehow we doubt that, but it made us chuckle.
