You can make a difference!

Last post was saying about saving the environment, here is a story that I wanna to share with you......


Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer.

He smiled to himself to think of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

As he got closer he called out, "Good morning! What are you doing?"

The young man paused, looked up and replied, "Throwing starfishes in the ocean."

"I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes into the ocean?"

"The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die."

"But, young man, don't you reaslise that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!"

The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, "It made a difference for that one."


There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can become aware of that gift, we gained through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future.
