Sometimes life feels so busy and complicated that it’s hard to see how one person can change anything. But although we can’t always see what impact our choices might have on the world, it’s likely that we are making much more of a difference than we know.
Bringing positive change to the world doesn’t necessarily require big dramatic projects. Often it’s our small day-to-day decisions that have more lasting effects, whether or not they might turn into anything that can be measured in terms of conventional success.
Nurturing Thursday was started by Becca Givens and seeks to “give this planet a much needed shot of fun, support and positive energy.” Visit her site to find more Nurturing Thursday posts and a list of frequent contributors.
Yes, you are right, 1 can make more of a difference then you think.
It’s all about doing! 🙂
It is like the ripple effect — the effect of one act starts the ripple effect.
Thank you for sharing with Nurturing Thursday!
Hi Becca, yes, we never know where those ripples might end up!
I love the quote Meg! Thanks so much for this post. Sometimes it feels so overwhelming looking at the big picture and the little moves feel like they don’t add up to much. Thank you for the reminder that we don’t always see or know the positive impact we may have by moving forward little by little.
Glad you liked the post Annie; and yes, there is so much that we never see, but it’s happening anyway.
Couldn’t agree more, Meg! Just think what can be achieved when we all do our bit, say a kind word, help in some small way… Canyons are forged one drop of water at a time 🙂
I like that image of canyons… thanks! 🙂
Yes, it is true. I have experienced this myself.
So have I, but sometimes I still need reminding.
Hi Meg, so funny to see this post, the first think a thought is how bad one person can be that can destroy many things, I had an example of it Wednesday here at work. But I guess, depend on us, to be the another person to fix things up. Well have a great day!
Hi Elizabeth, yes, we all need to be responsible and not wreck things too 🙂
