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

1. Understand that each and every noteworthy change throughout history has arisen not because of armies, governments, nations and undoubtedly not commissions. They came to pass as an end result of the courage and commitment of individuals. People like Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison and Joan of Ark might not have done it alone, but they were, without question, the makers of change.

2. Trust that you have a distinctive purpose and promise in the world. It’s not so much something to invent as to be found. And it’s up to you to discover it. Have faith that you are capable of making and will make a difference.

3. Recognize that everything you do, every move you make, every sentence you write, every remark you speak (or don’t speak) makes a difference. Nothing is inconsequential. The world may be wide, but there are no lesser things. Everything counts.

4. To be the revolution you like to see in the world, you don’t have to be loud-mouthed. You don’t have to be eloquent. You don’t have to be designated. You don’t even have to be very sharp or scholarly. You do, however, have to be stanch.

5. Assume liability. Don’t ever think “it’s not my responsibility”. It’s a cop-out to say, “What can I do, I’m only one human being.” You don’t need everyone’s support or anyone’s authorization to make changes. Learn by heart this short aphorism, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.”

6. Don’t get stalled in the how of things. If you’re confident on what you want to alter and the reason why you want to change it, the how will come. Lots of important things have been left undone because somebody let the problem solving hamper the decision-making.

7. Don’t wait for things to be right for you to start. Change is tricky. Things will never be spot on. As Ted Roosevelt once said, “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

8. The start of change is consciousness. We cannot change what we don’t accept. Usually, we aren’t aware of what’s erroneous or what’s falling short. We don’t see the possibilities. By becoming more aware, we initiate the route of change.

9. Memorize by heart this statement from Albert Einstein, possibly the smartest change gurus 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. So that things can change, you need to change. We can’t change others; we can only change ourselves; however, when we change, it starts changing everything. And by doing this, we truly can be the change we wish to see in the world.
