The story behind this quote is about sugar. Gandhi was once asked by a woman to talk to her son about cutting back on sugar. He asked them to come back in two weeks time, at which time he talked to the boy and made an agreement. In answer to the mother's question - "why could you not talk to my son at the start?" Gandhi replied that he wasn't able to talk to the boy until he had first tried making that change himself.

We are so quick to judge. To have an opinion. To demand change. To expect our leaders, our managers, our Government to be responsible for making change happen. And fast. 

But what if we simply lived the change we want to see in the world? And by our actions, someone notices and copies. And then someone copies them - and so on and so on . . . Take the challenge - think of something you want to change - and quietly go about making that change happen in your own life, thoughts and actions. And just notice what happens . . . !

    https://www.lifekindness.org/Hi I'm Richard Norris. I live in Wellington, New Zealand, with my wife Jolanda.

    After many years or working and observing human nature I decided to launch www.itsgoingtobegreat.org - all about happiness, mindfulness and feeling great. 
    ​

    Much of the material is taken from everyday life experiences. My motivation is to give something back to a world that has given me so much - and the hope is that someone, somewhere reading this just might realise some of their dreams.
