I honestly believe that one good deed can have so many ripple effects. Like steemit, we can be that glimmer of hope and light to those around us.
On some people, your good deeds have no effect. They are just so selfish and only concerned with themselves, that they never appreciate what you do for them. This , I was saying generally.
In Steemit, I have met so many awesome people who are willing to help you grow, and they do it so selflessly. The world is beautiful because of such people.
True, but it makes you a better person. Some people also put up a wall, and you will never know the effect that you have on them.
Reminds me of the saying be the change that you want to see in the world. It's hard to even start with yourself when there is so much negativity...
I have learned to change what I can, and what you can do nothing about, I try to forget about. I know there is a lot of negativity, but imagine that you were also negative, then there is just one more negative person in the world. Just as negativity is contagious, positivity is too. You are right though, there is a lot of CRAP out there, Every time I think something can't shock me more, I fear something that shocks me even more than that. It is so easy to say to someone, just be positive and forget about your problems. I am not gonna lie, it is just like going to the gym, you need to work really hard, and you can't slack for a week, then expect the results that you want. Living positively is definitely the way to be. Sometimes we just have to turn the news off and focus on what is happening to us in our surroundings.
you cant be more right. everything you have said is so correct and what i love the most that you said is' turn off the news and focus on whats happening at us in our surrounding'....i do that a lot . and am happier for it.
Yes! When we are beacons of positivity, we have a butterfly effect on the world around it. When we smile at a stranger, we may joy see the effect we have, but the smallest deed can snowball in a person’s psyche, often unconsciously, and lead them to a brighter future.
If we let Love guide our actions, we always win!
