You might want to get involved in issues that you feel passionate about today. Perhaps there are political, social, or economic problems in the world that are screaming for your attention, and you might find the need to express your opinions or do something proactive about them. Getting involved in something that you sense needs your attention can be a way for you to feel as if you have some control over the things that are happening in the world and to keep you from feeling overwhelmed. Keeping in mind that every contribution helps, you may want to join or donate your time to an organization that shares your same view of the world. Giving in this way means that you are taking the steps needed to help someone else in the world and join in the effort to alleviate their suffering.

Doing something positive for other people plays a positive role in creating change for the better. It is easy to feel weighed down by everything that is happening around us, and it might seem that the actions of one person can't make much of a difference. Becoming educated about issues and talking with others, however, are all actions that raise not only our awareness but also the consciousness of everyone around us, which increases the effect of our efforts. By getting involved today in what makes you passionate, your small action will have a long-lasting impact on those you help.
