Look in the Mirror
“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.”
-Jean Paul Sartre
There will be many with varying opinions regarding Mahatma Gandhi, but one of his self-effacing views was that the most important battle he had to fight was in overcoming his own demons, fears and insecurities. He thought it was all too easy to blame people, governing powers or enemies for his personal actions and well-being. Gandhi said that the solution to these types of problems can normally be found just by looking in the mirror.
Take note that the point being made is that it begins with you. Personal responsibility for ones own actions and attitudes is the first step in changing for the better.
Take a look in the mirror first and by all means, stay inspired my friends.
