10 Life Changing Tips

10 Life Changing Tips Inspired By Gandhi

Here are ten of my favorite life changing tips inspired by one of the greatest leaders of the 20th century - Mohandas Gandhi.

1. You Can Change The World

"Be the change that you wish to see in the world."

2. Think Positive

"A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes."

3. Cherish Life

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

4. Don't Give Up 

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win."

5. Practice Compassion

"An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind."

6. Live In Harmony 

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

7. Forgive

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

8. Meditate

"I have so much to accomplish today that I must meditate for two hours instead of one."

9. Serve Others

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

10. Live Life To The Fullest

"In a gentle way, you can shake the world."

The Four Agreements

Here is how Don Miguel Ruiz summarises ‘The Four Agreements’:

the four agreements – don miguel ruiz’s code for life

agreement 1

Be impeccable with your word – Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

agreement 2

Don’t take anything personally – Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

agreement 3

Don’t make assumptions – Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

agreement 4

Always do your best – Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

I Rescued a Human Today

Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels.

I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her.

I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn’t be afraid.

As she stopped at my kennel, I blocked her view from the little accident I had earlier at the back of my cage.

I didn’t want her to know that I hadn’t been walked all day.

Sometimes the shelter keepers get to busy, and I didn’t want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card, I hoped she would feel bad about my past.

I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone’s life.

She got down on her knees and made little kisses sounds at me.

I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her.

Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.

A tear fell down her cheek, and I raised my paw to assure her that all would be well.

Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms.

I would promise to keep her safe, and I would promise to always be by her side.

I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes.

I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor.

So many more are out there who haven’t walked down the corridors.

So many more to be saved.

At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.
