“If you think that time will change your ways, don’t wait too long.” –Madeleine Peyroux
Time will not change your ways. You have to change your ways.
Behavioral change is hard, but with strategy and effort, it’s absolutely possible. Unlike the statue above, you’re not set in stone.
And although it’s never too late to change, you should start now. Don’t wait for it to be convenient. Don’t wait for tomorrow. Start now.
The same is true for society. Our government and our culture will not change for the better merely with the passing of time. We have to work for change.
All over the country, people are doing that work. They are demanding change – not change tomorrow, not change in some distant future, change now.
We’ve already waited too long.
