How to be the change you want to see in the world….

Nobody can do everything, but everyone can do something. The world today is definitely not a paradise. Hunger, abuse, poverty, pollution and other dangers are all too common. Granted, the world never has and probably never will be perfect, but that is no excuse to not try. You can help to create a better world for the future. Many people believe that they don’t have what it takes to make a difference to the world. They believe only people like Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, and the likes, are capable of making a difference. The truth is, every one of us is put in this world to contribute and make a difference to the world in our own unique way. It need not be anything out of the world. Every effort counts, no matter how small and insignificant it may seem. You already have what it takes to make the world a better place. Just do something, do something good.
