I’m sure, like most people I meet, that there are days when I just want to give up on this world we live in.
It is no wonder that mental health issues such as depression and addiction are growing so rapidly in society.
Throw in the instant communications, often unfiltered on social media and 24 hour politically motivated news channels.
It is no wonder that we hit days we just want to throw in the towel.
I’m certainly not immune to these feels!!
Yet a reading today reminded me there is hope, and I share it with you. Please feel free to share this with all those you know who could use a positive boost in their lives.
Making a positive impact on this world does not have to be a hugs act. It can be done by each of us one small act at a time, a in doing so you will immediately reap a benefit.
Please digest this reading, think on it, and see if you can find a way in your day to help make positive change!
Helping The World Every Day
Each of us is more than capable of helping the world, despite our fears and limitations and the uncertainty that holds 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 that echo outward, give donations of time or money, smile at everyone we meet, and lend those in need of aid our assistance. As we learn, we inadvertently improve the universe because we can only be truly involved when we are informed. 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. Even the smallest of such deeds is a demonstration of the fact that we are capable of changing the world in a positive way. So much negative energy is generated by the suffering, pain, and close-mindedness 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, your desire 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, day by day.
