Do good

“I cannot do all the good that the world needs // but the world needs all the good I can do.”

Reading the news now triggers a physical stress reaction in my body. I’m not sure when or if this will go away. But today I came across this quote and it eased the tightness in my chest a bit. 

Each of us needs to do every good thing we can right now. Every day. Again and again. Even when it gets boring or feels like we’re going nowhere.

Reach outside of yourself and do something that makes you feel uncomfortable or nervous. Posting on Facebook or wearing a safety pin isn’t nearly enough. Do more. 

But it doesn’t have to be all things to all people. Make the biggest dent in the best way you can with what you have to offer. Each of us has something to offer and we owe it to ourselves and the rest of the country (and the world, really).

There is no “wait and see” – it’s happening now! Let’s go.
