Making a Difference -- Motivational Minute (13_43)



Quote of the day:

“Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Consider:

Life is a great cycle of cause and effect. Everyone makes choices every day, and everyone's choices affect others. The combination of everyone's choices and the effect those choices have on others makes the world what it is.

Every problem can be traced to some unloving or selfish choice someone made. Selfishness and lack of love are the major cause of problems in the world today. People either don't see how their wrong choices affect others, or they don't care enough to do things differently.

You may feel that the world is too messed up, that too many wrong choices have been made, that it doesn't matter much what you do, that it's hopeless. But that's not true. Just as every problem can be traced to a wrong decision, every solution begins with a wise and loving decision to do the right thing, the loving and unselfish thing.

A little bit of love can go a long way, and each act of love makes a difference. One act of kindness or unselfishness can start a whole chain reaction of events that will, in the long run, make life much better for a lot of people. So don't despair because there is so much suffering and grief and wrong in the world. Instead, do what you can to make things right and encourage others to do the same. The world won't change in a day, but you can make a difference if you try.

Wishing you all the best,

Coach Dana
