About This Quote
Don't wait for other people to be loving, giving, compassionate, grateful, forgiving, generous, or friendly. Lead the way! Lead by example. We all know that the world would be a better place if people were more loving and friendly to one another. But we can’t expect people to change on their own.
We have to lead by example. The best way we can do this is through our actions and words. When we go out of our way to show love and friendliness, we inspire others to do the same.
It takes courage to go out of your way but it is so worthwhile when you see the change in people’s lives as a result of your actions.
