A Monastery Memo.....

From the diary of a monk over 900 years ago.....

" When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world , so I tried to change the nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family. Now as an old man, I've realized the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have impacted our town. Their impact could have changed the nation, and I indeed would have changed the world."

God Bless!
