I know I've wondered this throughout my life, and it's left me feeling helpless.

It wasn't until I'd worked in healthcare for nearly a decade and realized that the one thing that I did on a regular basis that made the BIGGEST difference in the lives of others was to be kind and empathetic. 

We are all humans experiencing this crazy thing called life differently. Though tough times are no excuse to treat others poorly, there is huge benefit in being the light in someone's gloomy day. In fact it can create a ripple effect.

This is a short clip which I want to go more into depth with, but felt needed to be shared.

If you find yourself feeling helpless in a world that needs healing, know that you are capable of being a light simply by leading with kindness in every interaction you have.
