Good effort
We all have things about life that we’d like to see changed. They may relate to our personal circumstances or way of being. Or they may also be about the human condition or the overall planetary state.
While we may make attempts to alter our own lives (sometimes perhaps half-hearted), we may feel that changes in humanity or the environment are beyond our ability to affect. These issues may just seem too vast for us to affect.
And in this we’re partially right. Big issues usually aren’t solved by one person alone. But the small individual efforts of many people can effect big changes.
What’s important for us is to be working for what we feel is good and healthy. Whether that’s making sure we eat well and exercise or whether that’s trying to reduce our single use consumption of non-renewable resources, we can make a difference. And the differences made by a large number of folks can shift our lives and the lives of all the planet in a good way.
It all comes down to being kind, respectful, and nurturing—of ourselves, of other people, other species, of the environment. When we relate to all of life in a good way, we help create beauty.
Today’s message reminds me that I can embody good if I’m mindful about it. When I relate to all existence in a benevolent way, I make my life and life in general better.
Please reflect and share. How do you make an effort to be good?
