"Me" over "We"

As the “We need to change” demand grows louder with each day, something doesn’t sit well with me. In my opinion, the most important piece to completing the overall puzzle is “me” over “we.” At a virtual Promise Keepers men’s conference, one of the speakers summarized my thoughts perfectly:

• If a man associated with a family is messed up, the messed-up man contributes to a messed-up family.
  
• Since the family is associated with a neighborhood, a messed-up family contributes to a messed-up neighborhood.
  
• Since the neighborhood is associated with a city, a messed-up neighborhood contributes to a messed-up city.
  
• Since a city is associated with a county, a messed-up city contributes to a messed-up county.
  
• Since the county is associated with a state, a messed-up county contributes to a messed-up state.
  
• Since a state is associated with a nation, a messed-up state contributes to a messed-up nation.
  
• Since a nation is associated with the world, a messed-up nation contributes to a messed-up world.
  

Instead of demanding change from others, recognize where the change starts by looking in the mirror and surrender your wants to clean the mess.
