The Great political leader Mahatma Gandhi said, “In a gentle way you can shake the world.” Here are some ideas to think about on how to do The late Great political leader Mohandas Gandhi said, “In a gentle way you can shake the world.” Here are some ideas to mull over on how to do just that:

1. Understand that each and every significant change all throughout history has occurred not because of governments, nations, armies and definitely not agencies. They transpired as a consequence of the audacity and of persons. People like Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison and Joan of Ark may not have done it by themselves, but they were, without doubt, the change makers.

2. Trust that you have a unique function and promise in the world. It’s not so much something to build as to be uncovered. And it’s up to you to learn it. Have faith that and will make a difference.

3. Recognize that everything you do, every move you make, every sentence you write, every word you speak (or don’t speak) counts. Nothing is unimportant. The globe may be sizable, but there are no insignificant things. Everything matters.

4. To be the agent of change you want to see in the earth, you don’t need to be voluble. You don’t have to be fluent. You don’t have to be chosen. You don’t even have to be specifically bright or scholarly. You do, however, need to be devoted.

5. Assume personal liability. Don’t ever say “it’s not my responsibility”. It’s an excuse to say, “What can I do, I’m only one human being.” You don’t need everyone’s help or anybody’s authorization to initiate change. Learn by heart this short saying, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.”

6. Don’t get slowed down in the how of things. If you’re certain on what you want to revolutionize and why you want to change it, the how will come. Numerous significant things have been left undone because somebody let the problem solving interfere with the decision-making.

7. Don’t wait for things to be right for you to begin. Change is complicated. Things will never ever be just right. As President Roosevelt once said, “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

8. The genesis of change is consciousness. We cannot change what we don’t accept. Most of the time, we aren’t aware of what’s wrong or what’s not working. We don’t recognize what could be. By increasing our awareness, we begin the process of change.

9. Take to heart these words from Albert Einstein, arguably the smartest change experts who ever lived: “All meaningful and lasting change starts first in your imagination and then works its way out. Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

10. For change to happen, you have to change. We cannot change others; we can only change ourselves; however, when we change, everything changes. And by doing this, we truly can be the change we aspire to see in the universe.
