I remembered a tweet I read quite some time ago..it keeps coming back so I decided to talk about it here.

But you're so busy changing the world
Just one smile and you can change all of mine
- from lyrics of "Angel" by Jack Johnson

I think song lyrics make great impact on me, always. They make me think alot. Hmmm..power of words.

Anyway, it hit me when I read these two lines. I haven't heard the song but I like these lines. They speak volumes.

I know this song's probably about the relationship b/w a guy and a girl but doesn't it speak about our own lives too?

Personally, I'm thinking of the times that I get caught up with work and busying about doing my own stuff. Those times when I strive so hard but forget that we change the world one heart at a time. And it starts from those closest to us.

When I read the two lines, I think about:

• my family & friends - am I too busy that I neglect spending quality time with them?

• my cg members - am I too busy to hear them out..what about those times when simply a smile and words of "I believe in you" can help build them up and change their lives? Am I stopping to meet needs like this?

• strangers - we never know how we can be factors that change a person's life. Maybe a simple warm smile can lift a stranger's spirits..how would we know?

I was on the train going back home last night and the old man I gave my seat up to began speaking to me. I was beat after a long day but somehow, I felt compelled to continue the conversation for 10 stops..and it did refresh my soul. We spoke on so many things and he got off the train smiling widely.

I changed the world by putting a smile on his face yesterday. The world became a better place.

I know I wrote long..but I think this is the bottomline.
We change the world one heart at a time.

I know I'll always be keeping myself in check now. Don't wanna miss a chance to change a life. :)
