In my opinion, the first choice, taking care of yourself so the world

takes care of itself.

Because in general, it is much easier to control yourself than it is

to control the rest of the world. Anyone who knows EFT knows that.

Trying to change the world.

Because if you change yourself, you also, by definition, change the

effect you have on the world and thus the world around you.

 

But if you try to change the world without changing yourself, you may

be frustrated and disappointed.

 

Because if you want the world to be more peaceful, and you work to

make yourself peaceful, then all the effect you have on the world will

be more peaceful than it was before.

 

But if you want the world to be more peaceful, and you concentrate on

that while you remain angry, you will be incongruent, and, in my

opinion, your effect will be diluted.

Wherever our control and influence ends.

 

Obviously if you're the President, you have a great deal more power to

change the world than if you're an ordinary citizen.

Because trying to change that which you have no power to change is a

recipe for frustration and disappointment.

 

Better to start with yourself and work outwards.

 

Have fun,
