“To do good, you actually have to do something” -Yvon Chouinard

This quote has been inspiring me all week long (it’s pulled from a video created for American Express), and it has reminded me, that sometimes, even when tasks seem small and unimportant, often they are part of larger efforts affecting change. An important thing to keep in mind, particularly when you get down on yourself for not doing enough.

Maybe it’s helping to spread a message, maybe it’s donating time to a cause, or maybe it’s as simple as educating yourself on an issue so that you can inform others; even though are efforts are small in comparison to the size and scope of the world around is, we all have an effect on our surroundings and the planet as a whole.

What good have you done today?
