No matter the loneliness, the despair and the overwhelming sense of failure you sometimes feel, you have so much to be grateful for. So much to give back to the world and bounce back to.
Realize that you’re reading this because of the freedom you have to do so, the opportunity I have to write it. That your toilet is filled with cleaner water than some struggle to carry back to their village to drink. That you have a job that allows you to pay for lights to enjoy even the darkest of evenings with family. A tv hangs from your wall while others don’t have walls with strength to stand up to the weather.
You have the opportunity to value your artistic creations and enjoy others imagination. Now watch this:
It doesn’t take long to realize what you’ve been complaining about really doesn’t matter, does it?
If you’re paying for Internet, for coffee, your water bill every month, you can afford to inconvenience yourself slightly to give back tremendously.
What better reason to help is there beyond – because you can?
Thanks for reading,
Sarah Butland
