Changing the world and simplicity seem to go together like peanut butter and pickles. The two just don’t mix.
I want to make a difference and do something important, and yet most days, I feel like I’m falling woefully short. Can you relate?
But what if making an impact is much easier than we make it? What if we could do it right now? Here are a few simple ways we can.

1. Stay the Course
What if changing the world can be accomplished more in the daily, consistent, small choices of our day than in the epic and big?
When we think of world changers, we think of their culminating moments. Martin Luther King Jr. and his “I Have a Dream” speech. Nelson Mandela and becoming president of South Africa. We think of these events as the moment when they “changed the world”.
But those big moments never happen without the thousands of small, consistent, hard choices that led up to them.
If Nelson Mandela didn’t lean into his purpose, even while exiled in prison for 27 long years, then the radical reconciliation he brought later never happens. Their is something revolutionary to staying consistent in the small and daily.
You don’t build a house with the final brick.
You start with the foundation, then lay brick after brick, board after board. If you rush the beginning, it all falls apart.
2. Partner with Organizations who are Making a Difference
