I want to save the world. But, sometimes, it feels like no matter how much I do, the world still crumbles around me.
There’s a story about a little boy trying to save turtles as they hatch on a beach. Most baby turtles don’t survive because they don’t even make it to the water. Even though this boy was trying, many of them were going the wrong way, and he could not save them all. His sister, observing him, pointed out that no matter how hard he tried, many of the turtles weren’t going to make it, and his efforts did not matter. Cradling a baby turtle in his hands, the boy responded, “It matters to this one.”
My friends, the kind things you do – they matter. Always remember that.
But I don’t want to stop there, I want to take this one step further.
Mother Teresa once said that if you want to change the world, go home, and love your family.
And, therein, I believe, holds the answer for saving the world.
