Is Being The Change Enough?

When you picture a revolution, what comes to mind?

The first thing I think of is a Goldilocks situation. Either too small or too big.

Small revolutions are happening every day in communities around the world. Urban gardens. Bicycle riding. Volunteering. Even protests. While noticeable, they are only mildly divisive of the population, if at all. These acts are monumental in regards to being the change you want to see in the world. But while small acts are absolutely essential, their jobs are also to lay the groundwork for something bigger.
