WORDS THAT CAUGHT US: What can you make better today?

Take every opportunity to move forward, even if it’s only a little.

That means in every conversation and encounter we should ask:

"What can I do right here, right now, to make things better?”

We have unlimited capacity to make things better.

It's a duty we owe ourselves, and the best gift we can give providence

For the opportunity to be here.

That’s our daily challenge.

This is how we should evaluate our days, years and life –

Where and how have we made things better?

If we can answer this honestly, we shall have lived well,

Even if it was just sweeping the street.

If we were to ask ourselves this question constantly, every day,

There wouldn't be illegal dumping of hazardous waste in our habitats.

There wouldn't be corruption and underhand dealings.

There wouldn't be malicious damage and wastefulness.

There wouldn't be reckless pollution and global warming.

There wouldn’t be poverty, deliberate impoverishment and war.

There wouldn’t be strife and suffering.

There wouldn’t be human and child trafficking.

There wouldn’t be slavery, hatred and prejudice.

There wouldn’t be injustice and unfairness.

But it all starts with us: You and Me.

We can choose complacency and status quo,

Or we can choose to move forward, and make something better,

One little step, at a time,

One little moment, at a time,

One kind gesture, at a time,

One caring thought, at a time,

One little kiss, at a time. 

"This is how change happens: 

One gesture. 

One person. 

One moment at a time."

What are you making better where you are now?

What will you make better today?

That’s the debt we all owe providence, for the space we occupy.
