You may experience a sense of helplessness or inadequacy today. Perhaps you feel powerless and wonder if your efforts are enough to make any real impact on the world. By understanding that what you do has value, you can transform these feelings of frustration by serving others. Not only will you regain your sense of empowerment, but you will see that you can make a difference. You might take a few moments today to think about the smaller acts you could do that may change someone's world, whether you mentor a child, donate some clothing to a homeless shelter, or sort contributions at a food pantry.

We transform our feelings of powerlessness by empowering ourselves to do powerful acts that will serve others. It is easy to become overwhelmed by feelings of despair or frustration and not see how our actions can make an impact. If we can take a look around and choose just one area where we can help, we begin to feel proactive and empowered because we see how we can make a difference. We soon realize that the scale in which we choose to help others isn't nearly as important as the fact that we are doing something. By seeking ways to serve others today, you are setting yourself up to experience a greater sense of empowerment, strength, and satisfaction.
