everything we do makes a difference .....

I just love this posting by Dr Ben Kim.

We often think that some problems in the world are so big that we're powerless to do anything about it.  But we can. 

Everything we do does make a difference - maybe not a BIG difference, but it DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE.  It's just up to us whether the difference we make is a positive or negative one.

Whether it's sharing a smile with a stranger and making their day, or deciding to buy a more ethical product, the change will be noticed in the world, because everything is connected with everything else.  

So, if there's something we care about, then we need to try to do something, anything about it.  No matter how small.  It'll make us feel better and waves will follow in its wake; something will change. 

We'll be making a difference.

The Tom Shadyac film "I am" in Ben Kim's post, is really worth watching - I found it very moving.  It rambles at times but the message is right on.  And it comes from someone who has "lived the dream" and realised it was just an empty promise.  He found that what really mattered was connecting with people, not just amassing more stuff.

And I just loved the amazing experiment where he shows we can communicate our feelings to yoghurt .......!
