I am only one
“I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something
that I can do.”
Edward Everett Holt
What can you do that you have not done because it feels like your contribution could not possibly be enough to make a difference, could not possibly be good enough or significant enough to matter in the grand scheme of things? What are you not doing that you could do?
I came across this quote today and I intend to spend some time tonight meditating on the subject - I know that I am very guilty of not doing - and I’d like to change. How about you?
Edited to add: Re-read that and realized it sounded awfully negative, like I had very little faith in my readership. So…. what ARE you doing? What have you done? What little steps have you taken by your very own self that have made a difference, that will make a difference? How do you keep yourself motivated and determined? What is your ’something that I can do’? Are you doing it? If not, what steps do you need to take so that you are?
