Few Simple ways to make the World A Better Place
Once upon a time I wanted to change the world. But truth was until I took care of myself I was no good to anyone. The world even.
I was so eager make a difference, to help others, to make people happy, I just felt like I just wasn’t doing enough.
Constantly feeling inadequate and comparing myself to all the amazing change makers I was surrounded by (and they were and still are INCREDIBLE), I exhausted myself in comparisons and feelings of inadequacy and FOMO.
Truth is I was a huge people pleaser, always putting others before myself and my family. But that’s a story for another day…
And then I realised the mistake I’d been making.
No disrespect to the big thinkers, thought leaders and game changers, but personally I was aiming too big. I’d missed the point completely.
Baby steps. Small changes. Daily moments of kindness. LITTLE things. That’s what mattered.
And most of us simply don’t have the money, connections or resources to do so. Now there’s a depressing thought. But it needn’t be, because in our own way, we can help to make the world a better place.

The idea of changing the world can be daunting. It's not only easy but understandable to think, "I’m only one person; what can I really do?" If every person thinks that, nothing will get done. But if every person did just one thing to make the world a better place today, billions of acts of kindness, social responsibility and generosity would take place — and wouldn’t that alone change the face of this planet?
Helen Keller said, "I am only one, but still I am one; I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and just because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do." That is the attitude in which authors Linda Catting and Jeffery Hollander wrote the book How to Make the World a Better Place: 116 Ways You Can Make a Difference. Here is a list of some of their ideas, and a few others, on how to make the world a better place one small action at a time.so i am gonna to tell how can be a little thing can bring the biggest changing than before
