By
being our true, authentic selves, we can make the world a better place one
day at a time. |

Each of us is more than capable of helping
the world, despite our fears or beliefs of limitations that hold us back. It
is commonly accepted that it is impossible to make a difference without
unlimited funding or free time, yet most healing, cleansing, and spreading of
joy is accomplished in a matter of minutes. If we vow to make the world a
better place one day at a time, the true significance of small good deeds
reveals itself to us. We come to see that we can be of service without
dedicating our lives to recognized charities or giving up the pleasures we
enjoy. The warmth we feel when we help the world is only a tiny part of the
affirmative transformations that take place when we make altruism a part of
everyday existence. We make our homes, workplaces, communities,
and countries better and brighter when we think positive thoughts, give
donations of time or money, smile at everyone we meet, and lend a hand to
those in need of our assistance. Even enthusiastically sharing ideas with
others generates positive energy that then serves as the motivation for more
tangible change. Selfless and helpful deeds remind us that we exercise some
degree of control over a world that can seem chaotic at times. So much
negative energy is generated by the suffering, pain, and close-mindedness
that we are regularly exposed to, but we can counteract it in a constructive
way by thinking and acting altruistically when opportunities to do so arise. Helping the world often takes no more than
a moment; just a wish for the world is a beautiful gesture and can be done by
even the busiest of people effortlessly. The gift you give each day need not
be grand or attention-worthy because the broader benefits are the same no
matter the literal repercussions. Once a day, you can affect reality, and you
can reap the rewards of knowing that you are making the world a better place. |
