Be the change you want to see in the world.
—Mahatma GandhiFive Things to Do to Make the World a Better Place
- Pray—for peace, for justice, for equality, for people you know who are
hurting or in need, for people you don’t know who are hurting or in
need, for someone you don’t like, for leaders in the world that they may
discern what is right and have the courage to do it. - Listen—almost every day you will run into someone who needs you to
listen—not to agree or disagree, not to correct or make suggestions, but
just to listen. Do that.
