What did Gandhi mean by "be the change you want to see in the world"?

Table of contents

Mahatma Gandhi was a leader of the Indian independence movement and became known as an enlightened person who practiced non-violence. He believed that it was possible to change the world without taking up arms and hurting other human beings, animals, and destroying cities. One of his best known sayings is: "be the change you want to see in the world", but what did he mean by this?

Do you agree that there is much wrong in the world? Injustice, corruption, lack of love for others, disrespect for the planet and nature? You are right! We are becoming more and more selfish, concerned with our own navels and ignorant of the needs of others. What are you doing to change this situation?

Why follow the motto: be the change you want to see in the world?

One day a friend told me that he would like to go to Africa to do volunteer work or even start an NGO. I replied that I thought the idea was great, but that he should start small, making small changes in his daily life to improve the quality of life of those around him.

You must act according to what you believe in. Are you tired of corruption, but when you need to, you find a way to solve a situation?

You talk about how we need to reduce poverty in the world, but you ignore those who ask for help?

When you start acting like the change you would like to see in others, your world starts to change. You improve the lives of people close to you, whether it's by helping a friend, recycling the garbage, taking care of an abandoned animal, or simply being honest in your attitudes.

The great change the world needs starts inside each one of us, in our minds and hearts. You start to radiate a different brightness, others notice it, are touched by it and changed. Whenever you think something is wrong around you, remember the phrase and be the change you really want to see. The world will change behind, but nothing will happen if we keep actingand thinking as we used to, emanating the destructive energy that we are used to.

Demand changes from governments, neighbors and family, but first of all, realize what you are doing to change the situation. Start there and see the result reflected in your community!
