I was once reading a book where I came across a beautiful story about a man who believed in making a difference. The story went like this.
In a beach, during high tide, thousands of fishes would wash on the shore. A lot of people would come for morning walks but none would do anything about it.
On a particular morning, a person got out of his car, went to the beach and started throwing the fishes back into the water.
The passersby looked and did nothing. Then an old couple stopped this man and asked him. “There are thousands of fishes washed away. How can you possibly save all of them? What difference does it make?”
The man picked up another dying fish and threw it back into the water, and said, “It made a difference to that one”.
In life, we come across so many situations where we can help and make a difference. We stop because of the sheer magnitude of change we want to make.
What if we could think differently?
What if we could stop planning to change the world and focus on one person at a time?
What if we could find time and courage to make a difference in people's lives one at a time?
What can you do:
- Practice gratitude. Let's be thankful for the resources we have.
- Let's be grateful for this ability to make a difference
- Let's find out what we can do to make a small change
- Let's make sure that we are doing our bits to help and support our families and friends. Sometimes, a phone call or a simple message is sufficient
_We may not be able to change everyone in the world, but our efforts could change the world for someone._
