Gandhi's top 10
staycentered: 1.

What do I want people to say about me at my funeral? Think about that for 10 minutes, then write down your answers. There may be a few different things, or 10, or just one. Write it down. Put your purpose...

How to Make the World Brighter:
Have you had an amazing experience in your life that you’d like others to have as well? Go to a local primary school, especially if there’s one in an underprivileged community, tell them about your experience and let them know you’ll help them in any way you can. It may be the inspiration they need to follow their dreams.
