“However much I am at the mercy of the world, I never let myself get lost by brooding over its misery. I hold firmly to the thought that each one of us can do a little to bring some portion of that misery to an end.” -- Albert Schweitzer
Reflection:
Sometimes we're discouraged and think, "Well, who am I? What can I do? The world's problems all seem so hopeless and impossible! It looks like there's nothing one person can do to change things for the better, so what's the use of trying?" And we're tempted to just give up and let the world go to Hell, which it seems to deserve!
You may not be able to change the whole world, but you can change your part of the world. If you have changed one life, you have changed a part of the world, and you have proven that there is hope that it can all be changed! The world can be changed, starting even with one person, just one person--maybe you!
