Henry Miller said, "I soon found out you can't change the world. The best you can do is to learn to live with it."
How true is that today? The world we live in changes faster and faster every minute now. I'm learning to smile (grimace sometimes), live with it and embrace it, and I trust you are too.

I agree that rarely one person can change the world on their own. However, I'm reminded of a story about a man walking along the beach after a storm, the beach is thick with thousands and thousands of starfish that have been washed ashore for as far as the eye can see. In the middle of them all is a little girl throwing starfish back into the ocean 1 by 1 before the sun kills them. The man says, "you're just a little girl and there are thousands of starfish, what difference can you possibly make?" the girl picked up another starfish, threw it back into the ocean and said "I just made a difference to him". If each of us do one small thing every day to shape the world how we like it (this might be walking to work, helping a struggling family get their kids to sporting practice, or encouraging a friend to continue pursuing their dreams), then together we can change the world.
It's no good only wishing the world was different, and you have to accept the situation we're in right now, but whether we sit back and say we can't change it, or we go about doing little things in the hope that we might - either way we'll be right.
Scott that is a fantastic story. Thank for commenting.
