We don\u2019t need to perform \u201cgrand, heroic deeds\u201d. No, we just need to be a good person ourselves, a person who sees and believes in the goodness of others, a person who prefers kindness and compassion over hating and judging. By living this way,<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"> <strong>you\u2019ll radiate this goodness to all and everyone around you.<\/strong><\/span> It\u2019s in living as a good person, it\u2019s in doing what your heart tells you to do, it\u2019s in living compassionately, in seeing the good in others that we are <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">creating a loving environment.<\/span> As The Law of Attraction** says: <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">we attract what we send out, we encounter what vibrates on the same frequency as we are living.<\/span> So, when we are living on the frequency of love and kindness, that\u2019s what we\u2019ll get more of. And when more and more people start living and acting in this loving, peaceful way, that\u2019s where you can create enough momentum to make a difference in the world, that\u2019s when change becomes possible, that\u2019s when a shift is made, that\u2019s when we create more love into the world&#8230; We just have to <strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">believe that no matter how \u2018small\u2019 we are, we do have the power to send love into the world<\/span><\/strong>. The more people who are sending out love and good intentions, the more people will get inspired to do the same, the more people who will start seeing and believing and hence, sending out love and kindness themselves. Let\u2019s all <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">focus on how we <em>want <\/em>our world to look like<\/span>, not on all the negativity that is going around. There is so much hatred and violence on the news that, if we let ourselves be guided by that negativity, we end up believing that it\u2019s all out of our hands and that there is more hatred than love in the world. I would like to ask you to, also be aware of all the good stuff, of all the good people, of all the love that we all have in us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Where focus goes, energy flows<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>So<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">, make sure your energy flows towards being a loving person, towards believing there is also a lot of good in the world.<\/span> This all will lead to making a better world and that is how we can all make a difference, that is how we can all make our contribution to more peace in the world, more kindness, more love.<\/p>\n<p>I love this poem by <em>Placide Gaboury<\/em>* that completely represents my thoughts and beliefs on the matter:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><em>\u201cOn ne d\u00e9truit pas les t\u00e9n\u00e8bres en luttant contre elles, mais en allumant la lumi\u00e8re.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><em>On ne d\u00e9truit pas le mal en luttant contre lui, mais en faisant le bien.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><em>On ne d\u00e9truit pas la haine ou la peur en s\u2019acharnant contre elles, mais en laissant montrer la tendresse et l\u2019amour.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><em>C\u2019est en allant vers l\u2019Est qu\u2019on s\u2019\u00e9loigne de l\u2019Ouest.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><em>C\u2019est en allant vers plus de vie, qu\u2019on d\u00e9passe la mort.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><em>C\u2019est en allant vers ce qui dure, qu\u2019on est libre de ce qui ne dure pas.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I hereby give you my translation\/interpretation in English, any incorrectness is totally of my doing:<\/p>\n<p><em>We don\u2019t get rid of darkness by fighting against it, but by being the light.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We don\u2019t get rid of the bad by fighting it, but by doing good.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We don\u2019t get rid of hatred and fear by holding on to it, but by showing tenderness and love.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s by going to the East that we get further away from the West.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s by living more that we are bigger than death.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It\u2019s by doing what lasts that we are free from what does not.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">My wish for YOU:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Believe you can make a difference, <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Believe that by living, by doing good, you can change the world,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Believe that by being an example of love, you\u2019ll inspire others to love more too,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Believe that kindness will lead to more kindness. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>That is what I wish for you!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Thank you all for reading me and for supporting me on Medium!
