1. Change yourself.

“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”

“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.”

If you change yourself you will change your world. If you change how you think then you will change how you feel and what actions you take.

2. You are in charge of your life it's your responsibility to change it.

“Nobody can hurt you without you first giving them the permission to.”


3. Forgive, resentment is like you drinking poison hoping the other person dies.

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”

“An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind. Revenge is never the way forward.”


4. No action ? Then there will be no change.

“An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.” You can pray and hope that the fire won't go out but unless yougetoff your ass and get a shovel full of coal it's going to go out.



5. Live in the now!

“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.  We are all only 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.”

“It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.”


7.  Keep on trying. Don't give up.

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


8. See the good in people .

“I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won’t presume to probe into the faults of others.”

“Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow-men.”

“I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles; but today it means getting along with people.”


9. Be true to yourself.

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

“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.

”Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.”
