Be the change.  Your
leader Gandhi said this.  You can sit and
watch your fellow humans be cruel and heartless to each other or you can practice
coming from the heart in all that you do. 
This type of action begins with the thought.  How aware are you of your thoughts?  Do you see the goodness first or the
bad?  Both do exist in your world of
duality, but you get to choose where you place your focus.  To be the change you must change your
focus.   Feel helpful instead of
helpless, positive instead of putting down. 
It truly is all up to you, for the smallest change begins with one
heart.
