But are we actually powerless? Ultimately, there is great power in how we choose to handle the precious moments of our lives. The dream that you have, to make a meaningful impact with your life, is in your hands. It is in your choices. There is nothing unimportant about how you choose to use your energy, your time, your money. Surprisingly, you do have power beyond anything you might imagine. Honey, the world has been waiting for you to be bold and play your hand. Who is to say that you don’t have greatness encoded in your DNA? Maybe you have a cure for loneliness brewing in your mind, or maybe you are a compassionate teacher who will ease the suffering of one or many. Maybe you have the gift of being in the right place at the right time. There are countless ways to bring joy, health, and healing to our planet. You might be the agent of change we’ve been waiting for. Why you? Why not you?
