#spheresofinfluence

It’s easy to forget that you have the capacity to help society when you’re already comfortable with your own bubble, your comfortable routine. I now realize the importance of the willingness to be bothered. 

Please be bothered at the thought of poverty. Be bothered at the thought that there a children without homes and women who are abused.

As a child, I had always dreamt of doing something significant which would have an impact on society. I was foolish enough to think I could do it on my own. Today, as an adult I realize that mobilizing change alone is improbable. Success happens through a collective effort. From bringing people together can we realize change with a concrete impact. 

It is a decision to own up to one’s “sphere of influence”. I really like that terminology --- “sphere of influence”. It is a reminder that one’s reach is not all-encompassing. It exposes the capacity of an individual to instigate change where he or she is planted. Imagine what society would be like if every individual took it upon himself / herself to use his / her skills for the benefit of others?
