You Are Making the World a Better Place

Well, the majority of you.

You may think that you are just reading or writing an article. Maybe you think that you’re just playing an instrument out of your own creativity. Maybe your family forced you to become a doctor so you could make money. Perhaps you became a journalist only to make yourself famous.

No matter why you are in it, you are helping to make the world a better place.

Remember that.

How, you might ask? Everything you do impacts the next person , who affects the next person after that.

In just a little way, if not by much, you change the people you hang out with, and they, in turn, change the next person and the next person and the next and the next generation.

It’s for a reason that humanity is constantly changing and growing. There are people who are making these sacrifices , some more than others.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said -
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.

All of us are making things better for ourselves, or our consumers, or our employers.

We are solving problems.
We are helping someone.
We are trying to make lives easy.

Change takes a long time, but it does happen. And,  YOU are one that’s making that change, and you might not even know it.
