What can one person do? --Everything

"I am only one, but I am one. I can't do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do. And I what I ought to do, By the grace of God I will do."- Canon Farrar

I read that today and was talking with a friend about how each of us could have an impact in the world. There are many problems, what impact could each of us have? I don't believe any one of us has all the answers, but I know that together we do. We do our part each time we show up and ask:

How can I serve?
How can I make things better?
How can I live my truth?


If we honestly want to combat hunger, poverty, climate change and the problems in our society, we need to do something. I believe that starts in the heart of each person and has significant power when we come together. If every person thought about how they could live their truth, how they could serve others in their life (family, work, friends) our world would change.

Yes, there is work to be done and that is why we're alive on this planet.
