“In a world full of people who couldn’t care less, be someone who couldn’t care more.” –Author Unknown

It’s always something.  Whether people are complaining about taxes, politics, the economy, global warming, or even the younger generation, our famous last words usually are, “I wish they’d do something about this.”

But who exactly are they?  We make it sound like there’s a big think tank where the masterminds of the world are meeting to solve all of our problems, when the only problem we really have is not realizing that they are us.

So if you’re mad as hell and you’re not going to take it anymore—great!  Instead of being an expert complainer, begin right where you are to effect change by applying the catch phrase, “Think globally.  Act locally.”  What can you do on your own street, in your own neighborhood, in your own town to make a difference?  Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi—all people just like you.  They all started somewhere.

Lessons from the Lorax: “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.  It’s not.”  He was the lone voice of reason in Thneed-ville.  Be the voice in Your-ville. 

Have a care in the world,
