As we go into 2013......

Gandhi’s Top 10 Fundamentals for Changing the World

1. Change yourself - “As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.”

2. You are in control - What you feel and how you react to something is always up to you. There may be a “normal” or a common way to react to different things. But that’s mostly just all it is.

3. Forgive and let it go -“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

4. Without action you aren’t going anywhere- “An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”

5. Take care of this moment -“I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.”

6. Everyone is human -“I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.”

7. Persist -“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

8. See the good in people and help them- “I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.”

9. Be congruent, be authentic, be your true self -“Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.”

10. Continue to grow and evolve -You can pretty much always improve your skills, habits or re-evaluate your evaluations. You can gain deeper understanding of yourself and the world
