Why “Be The Change”?
I’m sure most of you are familiar with the pivotal words of Mahatma Gandhi, but if not, then consider this your much needed education. “Be the change” as a phrase has been a meaningful (and perhaps overused) saying ever since Gandhi’s death in 1948.
The words are a call (a demand perhaps) for people to be more accountable for their actions. To recognize how their choices can leave a huge effect on the people around them and the world. Everyone knows what qualities are seen as most desirable in people: respect, honesty, trust, compassion, patience, intelligence, just to name a few. Most people know what the “right” choice to make is, even if they decide to do the opposite. Read More…

What Not to Change
I’ve mentioned that it is important not to change your personality; although, it is okay to make smaller or more targeted changes to yourself.

Method #2: Penalty
This is my system: in order to improve my communication skills I will attempt to assert myself more frequently. If I have something to say, but fail to say it due to timidness, that will be considered a “penalty.” I have a bracelet that I always wear and any time I fail to speak my mind, I will switch it from my right wrist to my left. Every morning, I will reset the bracelet back to the right. The goal is to go three weeks without having to switch. Read More…
