"I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do." -- Helen Keller


"People say, 'What can one person do? What is the sense of our small effort?' They cannot see that we can only lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time; we can be responsible only for the one action of the present moment."  - Dorothy Day


"We were born to succeed, not to fail."

- Henry David Thoreau

1. Consider the problems in the world that worry you (local, national and world-wide). Read about them, attend meetings on them, talk to people about these problems and join a group making change.

2. Think of something YOU can do to make positive social change in one area (this can be small).  It helps to work with groups of people of like minds.

3. Do something soon. Time and pain is caused by well-meaning, capable people waiting to do something until personal issues get in the way or time is tight.

4. We are people who pray.  Pray for relief,  grace and help for the people who are in pain.  Pray for courage and determination for yourself and for your group or groups you know of.

5. Contribute financially to groups making positive change.
