Never underestimate your power to bring about that change. Even if it is a change that you yourself want to make. I think the sad truth is is that you have to be a celebrity or of high power to be recognized for that, but to me it is the John Doe's of this world that make the most difference. So don't ever thing that your help is unrecognized. Good post Matt. So true!!

It brightens my heart and life, and motivates me to keep heading where i'm going. This is a good remedy against people who give sideways looks that say "I don't understand why you want to change the world". It's such a joyful feeling to walk into a place where, for at least one person, it is better because I'm doing something about it.
