Terrorist attacks, brutality toward and by police, political divisions and coups and corruption. The world\u2019s problems loom so large. And we\u2019re so small. Insignificant. Overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p>And yet\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Even a single drop of rain on the ocean sends out a ripple.

You being one small droplet causing a ripple of change for the better in our world. Dare to do that one thing, take that one step against the grain. Instead of complaining about something, do the opposite. Be the person who puts away their cell phone at the checkout and talks to the cashier. Be the one who complements the mom whose kids seem like a handful.
