"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.
I agree. Perhaps what people need is a simple way of finding and connecting with each other on the issues we're passionate about. Maybe there is a simple way but we get in the way by complicating it. It's way too easy for us to sit inside bubbles and accept the illusion of separateness.
ReplyDelete@Ibukun, wondering what ways you see this is possible? I wonder if we all just embodied and shared our dreams/ our deepest desires quickly and wore them on our sleeve in a respectful way, what that ignite more conversations?
ReplyDeleteI try to answer questions in that way, so people know exactly what I believe/long for to form the quickest connection with them. And maybe this all happens naturally when we show up as we are without pretense.
