Grains of Sand...

Our actions are like grains of sand on a scale. I don't mean rocks or coins or some larger object. We never know which little action will tip the scales in our favor. Every act of sharing and every moment of taking away ends up on the scale – which side it goes to is up to us.

When asked what one can do in response to the horrors of life — the starving children in Asia, the AIDS epidemic in Africa, the war in Iraq — I tell people that it comes from change within oneself. Giving your friend those five minutes you don’t have as you are rushing off to an important event, treating your competitors with human dignity, loving someone when you dislike them – that’s how you change the world.

Today, maybe we can effect change in remote areas of the world by effecting change in our home, in our environment, in our workplace.

If you can't change your fate, change your attitude.
