“The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.”
– Paul Coelho
Imagine our world as a colossal, bustling train station, brimming with a myriad of opinions like countless trains, each with its own destination and purpose, each making noise. Opinions? They’re like the trains’ whistle — loud, attention-grabbing, but quickly fading into the distance.
However, your actions are like the rails themselves. They guide those trains, leading them on a particular path. They’re not fleeting like a train’s whistle; they are fixed, sturdy, and impactful. Your actions dictate where you and others end up.
Consider the powerful effect when you choose to act with kindness towards a stranger, bravery in challenging situations, or show resolve when faced with obstacles. These actions are like laying down new tracks, paving the way for others to follow in your direction.
In the end, it’s your authenticity and actions, not your opinions, that guide change in this bustling station we call our world. Every action you take lays down new track, shaping the routes for others, influencing their journey. It’s not the train whistles that change the course of the trains, it’s the tracks. It’s your actions, your example.
