Sometimes the problems in this world seem overwhelming. Whether it’s the media or our own minds, sometimes the focus becomes all about what is wrong. And when we get tied down with all the problems, it’s easy for despair to set in.

However, as the saying goes, “action is the antidote to despair”.

When we switch our focus from problems to solutions, from despair to action - that’s where the magic happens!

That’s one of the reasons I love my job.

I talk to people every day who dream big, think big, plan big. People who are passionate about what they do. People with vision, focused on the big picture with an eye for the details.

People who see the world as it is and see the potential of the world as it could be - and the best part about them is - they step in the gap! They enable change, they enact change, they embrace the possibility of achieving the impossible. 

Even though their actions may be small in light of the enormity of the problems, they take action anyway. 

The kind of people who continually inspire me to share their stories. Because through those stories, we can be inspired and encouraged to take our own small steps in the right direction.
