Do Something! I was sitting on a plane after a long, tiring business trip. I was a bit grouchy and irritable because the rigorous schedule I had made for myself left me exhausted. Looking to not talk to the person next to me and simply endure the flight, I decided to open my newspaper and read about what was happening in the world. As I continued to read, it seemed that everywhere I looked there were stories of injustice, pain, suffering, and people losing hope. Finally, fueled by my tired, irritable state, I became overcome with compassion and frustration for the way things were. I got up and went to the bathroom and broke down. With tears streaming down my face, I helplessly looked to the sky and yelled to God. “God, look at this mess. Look at all this pain and suffering. Look at all this killing and hate. God, how could you let this happen? Why don’t you do something?” Just then, a quiet stillness pacified my heart. A feeling of peace I won’t ever forget engulfed my body. And, as I looked into my own eyes in the mirror, the answer to my own question came back to me… “Steve, stop asking God to do something. God already did something, he gave you life. Now YOU do something! . Steve Maraboli
About This Quote

Do something. Do something. Do something. And so it is.

The simple power of a word, a phrase, a thought, a prayer, an action, a deed - it is this simple power that has been used to change the course of history and change the lives of those around us. We take all these things for granted day-to-day - we take them for granted and we don't give them enough credit. The words we speak and the things we do can affect other people's lives in such a powerful way that we couldn't begin to imagine.

What we do and what we say can make our own life and our own world better or worse. The same power that created this entire world is the same power that can change it...
