You must be the change you wish to see in the world.- Mahatma Gandhi
So many of us have heard and been moved by Gandhi's quote. But even as we have quoted, cited, coached it and counseled with it, we don’t often hear the story behind it.
Among the hundreds of people were waiting to visit with Mahatma Gandhi were a mother and her young son. When it was their turn, the woman asked Gandhi to speak with her son about eating sugar.
Gandhi asked her to come back in two weeks and said he would talk to the boy then. She wondered why he didn’t just speak to her son when he was already there, but she complied with his request.
In two weeks they returned, and after waiting for a couple of hours, she was able to approach Gandhi once again.
Hearing her repeated request, Gandhi immediately spoke with the boy, who agreed to begin working to eliminate sweets. After thanking Gandhi for his wise and compassionate words, the mother asked him why he wanted them to return instead of offering his advice the first time.
Gandhi replied, “Upon your visit two weeks ago I too was eating sugar.” He explained that he could not speak of or teach her son to not eat sugar if he himself had not taken that journey.
Whatever changes you would like to effect in our society has to begin with you.
Let your every moment be an example of what you teach and counsel.
Let your every action be a reflection of your beliefs.
Let your every word be reflective of your own thoughts.
The best leaders the world has ever known are the reformers who were accountable and responsible for their own change.
The commitment for change has no days off, does not allow for excuses, does not allow for pardons.
It’s a true commitment—a commitment to lead with heart to add value to the world.
Changing our face can change nothing. But facing our change can change everything.

Belief in yourself is the beginning of self motivation and achieving your dreams. Without a solid belief in your own potential and abilities, you are doomed to failure and mediocrity.
Self Motivation Fact #1 - YOUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT YOU CAN BE GREAT.
Self Motivation Fact #1 - YOUR DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT YOU CAN BE GREAT.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?”
I believe that quote sums it all up. Many people are simply afraid to think of themselves as anything but average. The truth is – most people are average. The truth is also that most people don’t use their average ability. Most people live below their average ability.
That means that even if you just utilized your average ability you could probably achieve great things. It doesn’t take much to excel in a below average world.
Self Motivation Fact # 2 - YOU HAVE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.
That means that even if you just utilized your average ability you could probably achieve great things. It doesn’t take much to excel in a below average world.
Self Motivation Fact # 2 - YOU HAVE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.
Potential is simply what you can do, but have not yet done.
Myles Munroe in his inspirational book “Understanding Your Potential” defines potential as:
“…All you can be but have not yet become…all you can do but have not yet done…how far you can reach but have not yet reached…what you can accomplish but have not yet accomplished.
Potential is unexposed ability and latent power.
You must understand that every human being is born with unlimited potential. There is a vast pool of untapped ability in each one of us. The only question is – are you willing to seek it out and bring it to fruition?
If you believe, like I do, that there is a God and that he created you, then you won’t find it hard to believe that you were created with vast ability and potential. God, after all, made man “in his own image.” He made YOU in his own image. If God made you in his own image, then you must be very much like God in a lot of ways. Then to say that you are limited in your potential or that you don’t have much ability to excel would be to insult God’s intelligence and ability.
That is where my self-esteem and belief in my ability comes from. I was made by the greatest being in the Universe. That is where most “self-esteem” movements fail. Self-esteem has got to have a basis. It’s got to “hang” onto something. Self-esteem without this solid foundation is potentially dangerous and destructive. However, with God as your anchor you can do anything.
Self Motivation Fact # 3 - THE MOST IMPORTANT OPINION ABOUT YOU IS YOUR OWN.

However, with God as your anchor you can do anything.
Self Motivation Fact # 3 - THE MOST IMPORTANT OPINION ABOUT YOU IS YOUR OWN.
“The only thing that matters is what you think of yourself. In as much as you believe it, it is what you live by. It is your personal truth.”
Okay I wrote that one (feel free to quote me), but it basically sums up what I believe about the subject of believing in oneself. It doesn’t matter what your parents, teachers, peers, employer or any one else thinks of you. What matters is what you think of yourself. If you believe what others say about you, good or bad, you are lost. Have your own opinion of who you are. That way That way YOU are in control.
Don’t be defined by someone else. Define yourself. Believe in yourself. Hey if you don’t, who is going to?
God believes in you. Why shouldn’t you believe in yourself?
Self Motivation Fact # 4 – YOU CAN CHART YOUR OWN COURSE.
The good news is – there is another way. Chart out your own course. Break out of the mould. Listen to that small inner voice. It knows more about you than you can imagine.
You can be an original, not a copy. If you are dissatisfied with life could it be because deep down you have a feeling that there is more to it than what you are experiencing? Is it possible that that still small voice is trying to tell you to “get up and be the person you should be!”
Here is a great self motivation tip:
“You are all you can be…go on and be it”

“The greatest thing about man is his ability to transcend himself, his ancestry and his environment and to become what he dreams of being.”
remember:
”If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
Fighting evil with evil won’t help anyone. And as said in the previous tip, you always choose how to react to something. When you can incorporate such a thought habit more and more into your life then you can react in a way that is more useful to you and others.
You realize that forgiving and letting go of the past will do you and the people in your world a great service. And spending your time in some negative memory won’t help you after you have learned the lessons you can learn from that experience. You’ll probably just cause yourself more suffering and paralyze yourself from taking action in this present moment.
If you don’t forgive then you let the past and another person to control how you feel. By forgiving you release yourself from those bonds. And then you can focus totally on, for instance, the next point.
Everything that exists has a purpose. My computer has a purpose, my shoes have a purpose, my watch has a purpose, if I had a dog, he or she would have a purpose, and most importantly, you have a purpose.
You showed up on this planet for a reason. Maybe you showed up to sing, or to dance, or to teach, or to write, or to entertain, or to act, or to talk, or to cook, or to paint, or any other thing, but you showed up for a reason. There’s a purpose that you came here to fulfill. Don’t “sell out!”
In other words, don’t settle for a life of doing a mundane job that you’re not passionate about. You only live once, you must live your life to the fullest; you must die empty.
Don’t buy into the thinking that it’s too hard to become a singer or whatever else you’re passionate about. It’s exactly that thinking that will make it appear like an impossible task, and your perception will become your reality.
Yes, it will take work; you and I both know that anything worth achieving is going to take a ton of work, but we also know that it will be worth it in the end.
Everyone is born a diamond in the rough; we just need to be uncovered. The truth is, if anyone else can succeed in this world, so can you. No one is any better than you.
So don’t sell out! No matter how long it takes, I don’t care if it takes the next 45 years; you owe it to your creator and to yourself to live out your intended purpose.
You will never be truly happy until you’re doing what you were created to do. Yes, you may be able to settle and push your feelings of dissatisfaction to the side, but there’s nothing like the exhilaration of doing what you love and watching others benefit from it. Even if you never make a dime from it…the joy of doing what you love is priceless.
Don’t “sell out” because you’re afraid of how much work it will take
Even natural-born hunters like lions must spend years practicing before they’re any good. It’s definitely going to take a lot of work to live your passion. Probably many hours for many years, but when you’re doing what you love, you’ll enjoy it, and you’ll work hard to ensure that it doesn’t take you forever to succeed.
Don’t “sell out” because you’re afraid of how much time it will take
You’ve probably heard the story of the guy who wanted to be a doctor, but was unwilling to go back to school for eight years. When asked by his friend why he wasn’t going to fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor he said, “I would love to become a doctor, but I would have to go back to school for eight years, and in eight years I’m going to be 40 years old! His wise friend responded, “Well, how old will you be in eight years if you don’t go back to school?”
The point is the years will go by, the time will pass, you will eventually get into your future; make sure you arrive there having accomplished what you were created to accomplish. So what if it takes you a little longer than normal, so what if you succeed at 60 instead of 16, will it matter at 60? No. The only thing that will matter is if you sold yourself short, if you settled for mediocrity when you were born for greatness.
Don’t “sell out” because you’re afraid you’ll fail!
You will eventually succeed. If you work in an area you’re passionate about and give your best, you will eventually experience success.
In conclusion, do what you were created to do, even if you must do it while you’re working your “9-5” job, with seven kids, a dog, and a hamster. Make the time; nothing is more important. The world needs what you have, and the world is waiting for you to be manifested. Success will be yours when you do!
Life is changing every day, we only realize it after a long time when we look back. Everyday is unique and with new challenges.
Some changes are joyful and some are painful but yet we have to accept it. Change gives growth both mentally and physically.
Change in life is must because one cannot live same life for years. Bringing one change in our attitude can change our whole life.
In life some circumstances happen against our wish. Firstly they are hard to digest but once we cross that path we feel the change in our life and thankful to god for that hard days.
Everyone wants to grow and growth can be possible by changes in circumstances. Circumstances bring change in our perspective. So accept life as it comes, it comes for our growth.

When someone asks you; who are you? simply say:
I'm a human being.
I'm one who deserves to be alive, a person who deserves respect.
I'm a person who deserves to be loved, I'm a person who deserves to be here in this world.
I am a person who deserves to be happy.
And when they ask, who are you? simply say:
I'm a person born with my own dignity.
I am a person with ambition, dreams, a person who belongs to the right people.
I'm a person who thinks.
I'm a person who knows a thank you.
One willing to listen with respect for others.
When someone asks you; who are you? Simply say:
I'm a person who deserves to be poor, only to know God. I'm a person who lives by purpose, following only what my Lord asks of me.
I'm a person who prays only to talk, share and ask my Lord what I need.
I'm person who deserves to fall, only to alert people to the fact that God gives us strength to walk tall.
I'm a person who deserves to be rich only to show that God can provide.
I'm a person who fears, one who respects my Lord
