In a culture that is built through influences and gloss, it is very easy to adopt the misconception that u need to affect people or systems to be successful.
However real difference is only made through creating an effect.
–Talking about pollution and green energy is one thing but doing plantation and shifting to solar energy for domestic use will bring effect.
–Sustainable fashion talk is classy but do you buy second-hand clothes?
At least you can start to donate mandatorily old ones before buying a new one.
Affecting is easy but creating the effect is what you need to make difference.
Pleasant and popular are convenient, easy, and sometimes riskless.
The extraordinary, on the other hand, is often difficult. It can create change and challenge our perceptions.
If we care enough to make a difference, we shouldn’t be focusing on affecting or settling for pleasant outcomes.
