You must be the change you want to see in the world- Mahatma Gandhi

When you alter your thoughts, change your beliefs, how you feel and actions you take, you change the world around you. As your actions become your habits, your inner world shifts and you start viewing the world through the same lenses. What we see and how we experience the world is through our tinted glasses.


I might not be in control of what happens around me, but I am in total control of how I react to it. You are in control of how you think, feel, perceive and respond to someone or something around you.

Be in control of your thoughts, feelings and actions.


If you want to achieve change effectively and permanently, change needs to come from within you. When we try to change ourselves, not congruent with our inner self, we tend to slip back into old patterns and self-sabotaging habits. When we carry negative emotions, fear and limiting beliefs within us, it creates stumbling blocks to the process.
When you eliminate inner conflict and become authentic, you create a world you desire you can sustain.


Imagine for a moment and reflect:
 Have you ever tried to change you?
 How long did it take you?
 How easy or difficult was it?
 Were you successful or failed a few times before you got there?


Before you expect CHANGE or get disappointed with someone for not changing, take a moment to answer these questions
You are not what others perceive you to be; you are what you think, believe and become.


There is only one person you can change, and it is YOU!!!
