Hope Begins With You
Dwelling on the troubles of the world may make you feel heavy today, which may be because you feel that there is little that you can do to make things better. While your feelings are natural, you might remind yourself that it is not really possible to save the world, but it is possible to contribute positively to the world through your thoughts and actions. Perhaps you can consciously incorporate “right action,” a spiritual practice in which you make a point to do no harm to another being, into your day today. As you try doing right action, you may notice that there are small ways in which you can have a positive impact on the world around you, such as by helping a stranger, recycling, or making more conscientious choices. If you can feel that you are part of the solution for a better world, you may find that your concerns about the larger issues in the world dissolve.
Right action is a powerful way to live our lives. So often we go about our day unaware of the effect our actions have on other people. We might, for example, gossip about someone else or unknowingly rebuff another person. The more we recognize our actions, the more steps we can take to transform what we do in order to put more constructive and nurturing energy out into the world. Changing the way you interact with others today will be a catalyst for greater positive transformation and hope for the world as a whole.
