Become one with your smile


Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi also known as "Mahatma Gandhi", was an incredible man. Before I posted his smile, I wanted to find out a few facts about him. I learned a couple of interesting facts.

First and foremost, I learned that Gandhi, was not just some oppressed guy that got sick of being beaten down by the man... No, in fact Gandhi was "The Man" and got sick of seeing his people beaten down.

Ghandi was born to the Prime Minister of India, (That's the equivalent to our US President) He was raised well and sent to school to become a barrister (Lawyer).

So aside from being a very intelligent person, Gandhi was also very well schooled.

One of my all-time favorite quotes came from this man. I hope that they put them on my headstone when I die. He said:

"Be the change that you want to see in the world."

Gandhi knew that the greatest battle we would ever fight was the one we fight with ourselves. Constantly he was calling for people to point fingers only to the one in the mirror.

If you feel like there is change needed in the world, look to yourself and be that change. When we all do smiles and goodwill will abound and we wont need my blog anymore. And I'm okay with that :)

-Keep on Smiling-
