One Drop

So, I've been really inspired by Mother Teresa lately. As you could probably tell from my last post. But the quote that's stuck with me the most is the one that says, "We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."


So often I feel like there's so much hurt in the world, so much brokenness, and I'm only one person. I can't even make a dent in the world's trouble, so why even try? But that's not what it's about. If everyone had that attitude then nothing would ever change. But when every person has the attitude that any change is worth making, no matter how small, then the small bits of change add up to something bigger, and slowly but surely we help make the world a better place. Together. I know it seems cliche but it's a truth that I've been clinging to.


Who knows how much change you can effect in the world! Even planting a seed in one person can lead to a chain reaction in hundreds of people. You never know what the smallest act of kindness will grow into! If you want to be a world changer, start with people. Go out of your way to be kind and civil towards them. If you see an opportunity to effect even the smallest bit of change, take it! Don't be too big for the little stuff. It's just so exciting to think about how much we can do together. I believe that God has great things in mind for my generation. We will be world changers. 

So go out, change the world. 
Hold the door open for someone. 
Smile. 
Do something for someone other than yourself. 
Don't wait for someone else to step up. 
BE the someone else. 
Step up. 
I can't wait to see what we're able to do.
