While watching the movie "Remember Me" a character says this
quote by Ghandi
"Whatever you will do in life will be insignificant. But it's
important that you do it because nobody else will."
This quote speaks volumes about life. I know I am guilty of
underestimating my impact on this world. I think I need to do
something on a grander scale in my lifetime to help people.
My best friend has pointed out to me before that the things I
do daily create an impact. This quote made it full circle for
me. I know I dream of the powerful things I can do with one
day maybe running a non profit or housing foster kids and
helping out with charitable organizations. I believe I am
fully capable of doing that but really what matters is the
day to day things we do.
The doors we hold, the "bless you"
we say when someone sneezes, the good morning text or the
much needed hug someone desperately wanted. It's in the smile
we give to a stranger, the advice we give to a friend, the
meaning behind telling someone you love them. It can be
giving the homeless person some spare change or buying
something from your neighbors children's fundraiser. It's the
card you send for Christmas, Anniversaries, Birthdays,
Holidays or for no reason at all. I now find myself
saying..."if not you then who?" The little things we do in
our day to day lives seem so insignificant because it comes
from the nature of who we are but the little acts of kindness
we share without even realizing it, matter. If you don't hold
the door for the person behind you, nobody else will.
I write this blog because I get inspired and feel like
writing it out as an outlet of my thoughts and emotions. I'm
vulnerable and real with the things I share. I don't know who
reads this, where they live, what gender they are or even how
old they are but here I am. I write in the hopes that my
inspirations may inspire some of you and even if I don't
inspire that I just make you think for a second. If I never
wrote these words, you may have never came to this
conclusion. I don't only write this blog for me to get my
release, I more importantly write it for you.
No matter how insignificant something may seem do it...
Nobody else will.
