Rhyme and No Reason!

How often have you heard people say that one person cannot make a difference?  My vote does not matter, and the outcome of the election will not change if I fail to show up at the polls.  I could pick up the plastic bottle another hiker left on the trail, but someone else will just end up dropping their food wrappers there anyway.  The world is full of angry, bitter people, so why should I bother to continue practicing acts of kindness?  I cannot change the world.

Stop right there.  Yes, you can.  You can change the world.  Granted, it may not be on a grand, global scale, though if you choose to go that far no one can stop you.  I implore you to believe in your own power.  I ask you to trust in your own ability.  Change your world, and you will change the world.
