When you feel helpless, ask how you can help others.
You may not be able to change the world, but you can help one person with one thing.
Ask for nothing in return except that they do the same for someone else.
Repeat this many times over and you will find that, even if the world has not changed, you have.
By being helpful to others, you will begin to feel more hopeful and less helpless.
We are empowered by action.
A life of service is a life of purpose and meaning.
