I began my morning off with my normal ritual: checked all four of my Twitter accounts, (yes, I said four) Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Foursquare and my blog. Somewhere along the way, I stumbled across this quote, "How people treat you is their Karma. How you respond is your Karma."
Pondering on this for a minute, I concluded that I couldn't agree more. The way people treat others is their problem. The only thing we can do, being the compassionate people some of us are, is work hard in our efforts to make up for others bad karma.
Working for a non-profit, I have had to accept this wholeheartedly. Not everyone will care about putting people with disabilities to work, or volunteering to make a small mark in their community but for the ones of us who do - we must persevere.
This brings me to one word - humility. We could all use a small dose in the morning before we get our day started. At the end of my life, I want to be remembered for what I did for others, how I made others feel and how I impacted others lives. What I don't want to be remembered for is lacking humility. This is the most important quality a person can portray.
At the end of the day, I may have not changed societies view on the things I believe in, but I did my part to make a difference in what I believe in, and in my eyes, that's all that really matters.
