What changes things

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world...it's the only thing that ever has.  Margaret Mead

Think small.  No really, think small so that big can be accomplished.  Ever heard the phrase, "too many cooks in the kitchen"?  Same thought process applies here.  The core group of any "difference maker" operates best and most productively when it remains small and committed.  When accountability is high and there is more action than talk.  When a core group gets too big things start to get blurred, accountability starts to drop off, and the vision can get lost in the midst of too many opinions, and then no difference is really made.  Notice I said "core group".  There are large organizations all over that are making a difference and obviously they operate with the help of more than just a handful BUT the core group should be small.  The group that is where "the buck stops". 

In a different way don't ever doubt the power of one or two and the difference they can and do make.  It really does take just one to make a difference in the life of someone.  What then happens is the "domino" effect.  One life is changed and then it overflows to change another life and so on and before you know it the world is changed.

Be thoughtful, be committed, allow accountability, talk less than you move and watch your world change.

Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play.
