Remake Ourselves

Post Written By Eugene Morgan

“Our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world as being able to remake ourselves.”— Mahatma Gandhi

If we continuously allow ourselves to be affected by unpleasant events that we can’t control, then it is time for an internal change. Clearly, this is not to imply that we’re giving up on changing the world but instead by changing the world we first start with ourselves. Although we can’t force change on someone else, this is not to imply that we should force change on ourselves. Changing ourselves should be made gradually for it to last. Change is a process that shouldn’t be rushed but nurtured through stages. Changing means also learning to adapt to new surroundings. We ought not hold on to the beliefs that everything should stay as they are while everything else is changing.
