Gandhi said that we must be the change we wish to see in the world. We must first change ourselves within. When that happens, it begins to create a ripple effect that just continues. If we do everything with love and set out to make a difference with love, no matter how small it is, it really does matter and builds on itself. To change the world does not mean having to do something big as most of us cannot do something like that. To really make an huge impact, is to do many small things. Over time, those small things become a bigger imprint that you have left in this world.
Most of the recognized saints did not do anything big. Rather they did many small deeds with love from their hearts. It was by looking at their entire life that we do see the huge impact they have made on people's lives.
If we live from this day forward consciously and with greater awareness and seek to selflessly serve humanity in small ways, then you are changing the world.

you start with yourself,,, being the best self you can be, at this moment in time, you strive to grow and learn,,, then you branch out, to your family and community,,,,,,,, then you can continue to do that, your state, country, world,,,,,,,,,, even if you skip some steps, it always begins with you
you also can find a cause you care about, whether its hunger or violence,,,,,or encouraging youth ,,, helping the ill,,,,,, etc then find an outlet for that ,,,,,,, work to stop the hitting of children,,,, or against poverty and hunger,,,,, whether around you or in another country,,,,,,, just remember its important to help "yourself" meaning those in your own city/town,,,,,,,, if you feel you are a member of that city,, country etc
these are just my thoughts, if you find "good works " to do, it really doesnt matter when/where /how you do them
