Be the change you want to see in this world
The main idea is within the title. Everything starts from Us, from 1, from the Individual.

We can indeed change our life, actually we can change anything we want but only if we love enough.

Energy changes the circumstances because the Spiritual is above the Material. All we need to do is to create new conditions for Happiness and the happiness will come.
