Random quote of the day:

 

“The gift you carry for others is not an attempt to save the world but to fully belong to it. It’s not possible to save the world by trying to save it. You need to find what is genuinely yours to offer the world before you can make it a better place. Discovering your unique gift to bring to your community is your greatest opportunity and challenge. The offering of that gift—your true self—is the most you can do to love and serve the world. And it is all the world needs.”

—Bill Plotkin, Soulcraft

Oh wow; I'd never thought of it like this, but how very true this is. Really.

Yes, it's one of those statements that really clarifies things. I've believed for some time that it's the small things we do in our lives, the small changes, that really help save the world rather than the mass movements. But this idea of using your gift to accomplish those small changes really amplifies that.
