Changing the World - one action at a time
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.
Edmund Burke
I used to be this very person. I thought if I couldn’t ‘change the world’ by doing something BIG then why bother doing anything at all.
It was then I realised the importance of those little things, because all of those little things add up. And imagine – if everyone in the world did ONE little thing to make a difference – be it smile at an elderly person, saying hi to the person walking towards you on the street, donating a couple of hours of your month to a cause, calling your Mum, not joining work colleagues in a daily bitch session, donating a few dollars, recycling, practising patience when you drive, the list goes on. Just imagine what the world could be like.

I smile at an elderly person (or a baby), I say 'hi' to people walking down the street, I dontate a couple of hours to my children's local school (tonight in fact), I dontate $ to causes, recycle, practice patience etc and do you know why - cos it makes ME feel good.... everyone should try it some time!

Awesome! As someone who also used to face dilemma, I can relate wholeheartedly. It's truly the SMALL changes, that make the BIG differences.
