Sometimes I sit and contemplate the enormity of how much brokenness there is in the world. I start to think, "There's too much. I'm only one person. I can't possibly hope to make any difference." But that is the very thinking that stops the world from changing for the better. However little a change is, it's still a change, and it adds up.
I am only one person, and I can only make small changes, but multiply that by the amount of people in the world, or even in America, and we've got a massive movement with the capacity to change the world. It isn't about individual initiative, it's about rallying together to do great things. So don't get discouraged. And don't give up. Because apathy is the biggest obstacle we have to overcome in the fight for change, for peace. The first step is learning to care for others as much as, if not more than, yourself. Because a life lived for yourself isn't worth living. We weren't created to do life alone.
