There’s a lot going on in the world at the moment, in fact, there’s a
lot going on in Australia at the moment. Every single day I learn about a new injustice,
environmental disaster, humanitarian crisis, huge loss of Aussie jobs, friend
in peril, impending doom etc. . . .
It’s so easy to become overwhelmed with all the issues, charities, and calls
to action. They seem to be growing exponentially at the moment! You may feel like
the world is caving in and it’s all too hard. You might become paralysed and
feel unable to do anything of consequence so you just do nothing at all.
One
thing’s for sure, you can’t be neutral on a moving train . . .
We’re all in this together. We are all put on this ever-evolving planet
for a reason. If you’re not sure what yours is try thinking about what really
gets your goat, or on the other end of the chain, what really excites you. For me it is (in no particular order) animal
welfare, environmental issues, wildlife conservation, spreading kindness and
positivity, taking excellent care of myself and looking out for the people who
I love.
You don’t have to donate all your earthly possessions or give up your
day job to become a full time campaigner. It can be as easy as clicking a
“like” button on Facebook, signing an online petition, sending someone an
encouraging text message, forwarding on an email or even sharing this blog with
somebody. If you feel strongly about something, if you feel it really pulling
at you, go out and do something about it. Anything. Do whatever you can to make
a change. It doesn’t have to be big to make a difference. As Mother Teresa said
“do small things with great love”.
After all, it might just be what you have been put on this earth to do.
Happy Friday J
