We all have something to give, whether it’s our deepest passion or our simplest hobby. Whatever that gift of joy may be, start giving as much of it as you can. The world needs your light now more than ever.
In a world where negative news is constantly being served to us on a daily basis, it’s difficult to not become affected by the panic, anger, and fear that these occurrences bring upon us. In Ethan Lipsitz’s Medium Post, he reflects on the law of inertia that states, objects in motion stay in motion unless acted on by an equal or greater opposing force. This concept can be just as true for emotions. Lipsitz says that in order to shift negative thoughts, we need to open ourselves to positive emotions and activate their catalysts. These positive emotions can come from art, people, stories, and movements - essentially anything in our day-to-day lives.
With the abundant amount of activism type petitions, marches and fundraisers, it’s easy to feel like maybe you haven't done enough to make a change. Lipsitz encourages us to think about what our gifts of joy are that we can shine onto the people in our lives.
We all have something to give, whether it’s our deepest passion or our simplest hobby. Whatever that gift of joy may be, start giving as much of it as you can. The world needs your light now more than ever.
