Your approach to worldly suffering will likely be a broadminded and progressive one today. For the first time, you may recognize that the level of abundance you enjoy is unusual and that most people throughout the globe have made their ways through life without the blessings you have enjoyed. You may react to this revelation by reflecting upon the many ways you might give aid and support to those less fortunate than yourself or improve living conditions for those besieged by poverty. The enormity of this task can be daunting, but if you believe in yourself, you'll likely discover today that the power to make a positive difference is within you. Your efforts to improve the world, whether by financial or direct means, can help you feel like a part of something larger than yourself.
It is only when we believe our efforts can change the world that we can begin making a positive difference through action. Though thoughtful individuals typically recognize that there is much suffering in the world, few consider themselves equipped to address the needless hurt and poverty they see. When we believe in our power to ease worldly pain, we recognize that even our most meager charitable endeavors have merit and are part of a larger community of goodness. We don't eschew opportunities to express ourselves philanthropically, thinking only of what we cannot do. Rather, we understand that change is the result of every person doing all they can. When you believe in yourself today, you'll find the strength to become a lifelong philanthropist.
