You count!
WE MIGHT think we're insignificant in the scheme of things, but we aren't. Think how a tiny mosquito can drive you crazy when you're trying to fall asleep! Think how a butterfly can mesmerise you as you watch its grace and beauty. That maddening mosquito and that beautiful butterfly aren't insignificant and neither are we! Everything we do makes a difference.
With that in mind, it pays to develop the good habits we want to develop. Do you want to be more patient? Act more patiently and pretty soon, you'll notice how patient you are. Do you want to be more thoughtful of others? Make a point of doing something kind for someone every day and before long, you will be known as a caring person.
Do you want to live in a tidier neighbourhood? Set a good example by bending over to pick up that bit of rubbish and disposing of it where it belongs.
This way, you'll continually improve your character. You'll be a positive influence on those around you as some of your positive points rub off on them. And they in turn will inspire others. You'll do your bit to make the world a better place.
