Mahatma Gandhi is a renowned

figure in world history.

• His dedication to the principles of peacefulness islegendary and he was able to accomplish many greatthings in his life.

• He is the man who led his Indian people to gain theirindependence from British rule in 1947, and thephilosophy of the man lives on in the hearts of many tothis day.

• Gandhi’s ideas were simple and came from a positive

place in his heart, mind and soul.• We list the ten best ideas or pieces of advice we can

glean from Gandhi to change our world for the better




1. Learn to forgive your friends as

well as your enemies.

• This is a principle you can find in many religions, and the intent andconcept behind it come from love and a desire to abstain from violenceand negative thoughts. When you are wronged or hurt by another thenatural response may be to lash out or seek revenge. So many times wehear of jilted lovers doing terrible things in the heat of passion orfriendships ending due to misunderstandings.

• “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong.” • It does take a certain strength to forgive someone who has wronged

you. Realize that revenge will not erase the wrong that was done, it willonly create more hurt. Do not let yourself become a part of a viciouscycle of revenge. Listen to these famous words from Gandhi himself:

• “An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.”

• Revenge is a cyclical thing. Once you carry out your vengeance, you willbring more negativity and wrong down upon your head. If you cansearch within and find the strength to forgive your friends and foes alike,then that is far more admirable and better for the world.




2. Realize that no one is perfect.

• Perfection is an ideal that no man can realistically attain. Weare all flawed beings despite our best intentions. It takes ahumble sprit to continue to become better and better. Theway to achieve this is through admitting your mistakes and

learning from them as best you can.• “I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other

fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough toconfess my errors and to retrace my steps.”

• With a spirit of humility you can see where you went wrong.You can’t let pride blind you in this regard. To do so wouldbe to never truly evolve. The same mistakes wouldcontinually pop up in your life because you never properlylearn your lesson.




3. To thine own self be true.

• Yes, that line was from the famous Shakespeare play Hamlet.The words of Gandhi speak to us and say that we would do wellto align our thoughts, actions and words. In doing so we stay trueto ourselves.

• “Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you

do are in harmony.” • If more people were truly happy it would make the world a better

place. Negativity in the world often comes from a bitter spirit, jealousy and hate. Happiness embodies all of the great thingsabout the world such as love, prosperity and justice. When youare not afraid to do what you are thinking and the words coming

out of your mouth ring true you are living your life as you see fit.To be true to yourself is a great thing. Follow your heart and let allfacets of your being be guided by it.




4. Understand you are in control

of your own life.

• Sometimes people blame others for their misfortune. They try tofind a convenient scapegoat so that they don’t have to feel badabout their failures. This isn’t a healthy way to think of thingsthough and it leads to a bad place. It must be understood thateach human is in control of his or her life. Certainly other people

can influence you in many ways. Even if others lead you down abad path the choice was yours to follow that individual.

• “Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”

• Gandhi understood that ultimately each person is responsible fortheir choices and actions in life. Be mindful of this when livingyour life and it will help you to want to make the best decisions

possible. If you follow the crowd and do not like where you endup, you were still in control of what you were doing. Forge yourown path in life, and have a smile on your face when you reachyour destination.




5. You must change yourself

to change the world.

• The world is not always exactly how we want it to be. Sittingat home and hoping things will get better one day will dolittle or nothing towards making that a reality. In order tochange the world people need to change themselves. Thehealing starts at home so to speak.

• “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” • If the world were to change and you were to do nothing to

change yourself, you would still be a part of the problem.We must seek to continually change our world by making ita little bit better as time flows forward. By inspiring change

in your person you can inspire those around you. Simplethings such as treating others with kindness, being slow toanger and accepting others for who they are regardless ofpersonal prejudices are great ways to start.




6. Ideas need action to give

them meaning.

• Ideas are an incredible thing. Concepts such as democracy,freedom and justice look great on paper or in an individual’shead. What if those ideas had never come to fruitionthough? Without action the ideas are just pretty thoughtsfloating in the air. Action is what can bring an idea to life and

help change our surroundings for the better.• “An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”

• Letting your ideas be known is positive in its’ own way, butshowing people how they work through individual action isthe way to go. Dialogue is a part of the process of initiating

changes, but ideas must be put into practice. Get out thereand start that neighborhood watch to try to deter theheightening crime rate in your neighborhood. Put your ideasand words to good use.




7. Understand that we live

in the present.

• The past and future are great concerns for many. People look tothe past longingly for times that they cherished. They worry aboutthe future for the sake of their children, wondering what type ofworld we are leaving to them. In order to honour the memory ofthe past and ensure the future is a great one to leave to our

children, we must live in the present.• “I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with takingcare of the present. God has given me no control over themoment following.”

• The present moment in time is the one we have control over. Wecan change the way things are now by living our lives as best we

can. We can mould the future through our actions now, but if wedo nothing but think about times past and times to come themoment will pass us by. There is no going back to a moment intime. Let your mind live in the here and now.




8. Possess the spirit to endure.

• Things in life that are worth achieving often do notcome in the blink of an eye. Having a spirit that iswilling to endure tough times and continue to striveforward is an important quality in achieving great thingsin this world. One cannot give up due to not getting theresult they want the first time out of the gate.

• “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then theyfight you, then you win.”

• Being an individual who will persist in the pursuit of

your ideals or goals can win you the day. Those whooppose your progress will fall by the wayside while youremain unwavering. It is the person with the mostresolve who gets their desire.




9. See the good in your fellow man.

• No person is without their faults. Understanding that all humanbeings are prone to being imperfect, we must see the good in ourfellow man. By helping one another and promoting good will thewhole world’s situation can improve.

• “I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless

myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.” • By understanding that we all have things we wish to improve on,

we can help each other live fuller lives. Humanity never wouldhave come as far as it has if not for men working together to buildcivilization to this point. Our continued partnerships andrelationships will propel us forward for years to come. It is

important to get along with each other and to be accepting. Whenyou are with a person understand the goodness within them.Don’t judge them for what they aren’t, form a bond with what theyare.




10. Continually evolve and grow.

• We possess the abilities to learn, increase our skillsand come to a better understanding of so manydifferent things. It is important not to be stagnant in life,because only by continuing to improve one’s self canone keep up with the changing world around us.

• “Constant development is the law of life, and a manwho always tries to maintain his dogmas in order toappear consistent drives himself into a false position.”

• If you are a man who is unwilling to adapt you will not

last in the world. Certainly elasticity is a great quality topossess. Rigidity of belief and expectations can be aperson’s undoing. Continually be willing to learn newthings and change accordingly.
