How are you going to change the world

If you can’t even change one person?

It’s daunting to say that we are going to end world poverty or world hunger or change healthcare.

It is so big and audacious how do you even start?

You don’t–it is another form of hiding.

The alternative is to make the change you seek to make in the world by helping one person at a time. One by one reaching out and touching the people around you. Can you think of one person in your school, your job, your neighborhood, your community that only you can help?

It is popular to make a big splash but popular is not the same as important. What is important is the ripple affects you make, they are far more reaching than the splash.

The enormity of solving world problems are incomprehensible. What is easy to measure is asking yourself:

Did I help someone today?

Did I make a difference?

Did I help someone take a giant leap forward?

Did I help someone do something that I could never do?

Did I help someone see the world as it is?

If you do it once, you can do it again. You improve what you measure.
