How to change the world

"I have reached the conclusion that I lack the power to change the world, or any significant part of it. I only have the power to change myself. And the fascinating thing is that if I decide to change myself, there is no force in the world that can prevent me from doing so. It is just my decision and if I want to do it, I can do it!. Now the point is that if I change myself, something may happen as a consequence that may lead to a [little] change in the world."
Manfred Max-Neef
