“Each one of us can make a difference. Together we can make change.”
~ Barbara Mikulski
“Individually we are one drop. Together we are an ocean.”
~ Ryunosuke Satoro
“We are all on this planet together and only together can we make it a better place for all.”
~ Cynthia Jo Lutje
How we contribute to ‘together’ is different for everyone! Just as how we cope with the changes and challenges around us is different for each of us. There is no doubt that global challenges affect each and every one of us and we ALL have a responsibility to give substance to our reactions and our actions. We must also notice, be informed and take action when those around us are affected. Being in it together suggests a collective initiative. Yet, a collective initiative only works if we ask what is our individual part in ‘together’. Change is possible with inclusive collaboration, cooperation and when genuine consensus drives an action.
“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”
~ Maya Angelou
