Russel Brand Offers Insight On How You Can Actually Change Your Life For The Better
When it comes to making changes in our own lives many of us are very resistant.
Whether or not it’s because we don’t actually want to change, or we just look at ourselves as incapable of making these changes, it can be a difficult task. When you consider Gandhi’s words, that in order to change the world you must be the change ourselves, we might be feeling more pressure than ever. No doubt that deep down we all want to be the best humans we can be and to reach our full potential, but sometimes when we are so wrapped up in our struggles and challenges, it can be very difficult to find the faith we need in ourselves.

He has overcome a lot of challenges and has gained inevitably gained some experience along the way.

If we can take a step back, and see the bigger picture we can begin to look at our hardships, challenges and struggles as amazing opportunities to learn, grow and step further into the light that we are and have always been. “Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.
