When we say immediately, we remember an elderly man who gave up everything for a country called India. Yes, I’m talking about Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Subhash Chandra Bose called Gandhi the Father of the Nation. Gandhi played a crucial role in the independence of India. He is world famous and still remembered. But do you know the lessons he taught us?
- Forgiveness
He emphasised forgiveness. For him, forgiveness means you are stronger and also able to let go of the grudges that become obstacles in our growth.
- Transform Yourself
If we want to make changes, then the best person to start making changes is ourselves first. We need to take the initiative, and this leads to a chain of reactions that will lead to the bigger changes that you want.
- Support and commitment
He believed that we needed to support the right cause and give our commitment to them too. We need to stand by it, come what may. That makes us powerful and also brings cohesiveness.
- Mental Fortitude He placed more emphasis on mental strength than physical strength. He always mentioned that obstacles are not outside of us but within us, and we need to overcome that.
- Concentrate on the Present Moment
He mentioned that instead of thinking about the past or future, enjoy your present and grab the new opportunities that are thrown at us.
- Being Truthful to Yourself
We have lied to many, and we aren’t saints. But lying to ourselves won’t keep us happy. We need to face facts and accept our truths, even if the truth is bitter.
- Positivity
Every situation has some positivity. We only need to realise it. By cribbing over things, we will not be doing any good. But we will suffer the most.
- Love
It’s very powerful. It can change everything and make people and situations better. It’s the best weapon to change a person in a positive manner.
If we followed the lessons he gave us, our lives would be a lot simpler and we would be able to achieve our goals in life.
