"The proper way to fix the world isn’t to fix the world; it’s to fix yourself"
Simplified meaning
When you want to make the world a better place, start by improving yourself first. Think about a messy room. If you clean your own space, you automatically make the room tidier, which helps everyone. Trying to directly fix all the world's problems can be overwhelming, but if each person works on becoming better, kinder, and more responsible, these small changes add up to a big improvement. For example, if you treat people with respect and kindness, others might follow your example, creating a more positive environment. So by focusing on your own actions and behavior, you're contributing to a better world in a manageable way.
