I don't have a television at our farmhouse, so this morning—my first day in Sydney—I was saddened to find myself confronted by breaking news of the shooting at Bondi on a TV screen. It reminded me of something I've been thinking about a lot lately.
If you think the world needs more love, then add more love. If you think the world needs more kindness, then add more kindness. If you believe we need more compassion, more patience, more understanding—then bring those things into being through your own actions.
It's easy to sit around talking about everything the world lacks, cataloging all the ways we're falling short. But real change doesn't come from commentary—it comes from contribution. Each of us has the power to become the very thing we wish we saw more of in the world.
So instead of just observing what's missing, ask yourself: What can I add today? What small act of goodness can I put into motion? Because the world doesn't change through our critiques alone. It changes when we each decide to embody the values we're longing to see more of.
Be the love. Be the kindness. Be the change you want to see take root around you.
