Managing our micro-universe

Almost a week ago I had the possibility to listen to this country's President speak. It is a person who is very down to earth, has a great humour, and
best of all, is humane. Humanity is something we'd need at the front line of many countries in this world, I'd say. The President said something like "We only have one life. We need to live it as we like to, we should not feel obliged to sell all of our time to an employer. There is more to life than work." The President was speaking of the importance of family.

In my mind, a thought started to shape. We all live our own lives and it is up to us to do our best in doing so. We can worry, complain and talk about the world around us, as if it was something we are no part of. It feels cold and wrong and too big to be changed by ourselves.

Well, we all know that a great forest can start from one little seed. Also an ocean has its first drop of water. Humanity is inside of us. A change for the better is inside of us. We are like micro-universes inside this macro-universe of ours. We can make great change starting from within. All we need is the ability to believe. Not even so much in the possibility to achieve greater change, but in the good that will come out of the change within ourselves.

We are the waves in that ocean. It won't move if we don't.
