Building a house for Project Mercy in Tijuana, Mexico via Heart Of The Samurai"And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do." How often do we do the very opposite?
If each of us believed that we were capable of creating something great for the world, perhaps many of the calamities and injustices would not be present. Each and every one of us has within ourselves the opportunity to enrich the lives of the people around us. At every turn in life, be they good or bad, difficult or easy, wanted or not, therein lies the seed of something great. There amidst every event or situation that we find ourselves in, is the chance to grow and learn and give to ourselves and others. In raising our awareness of the possibility of greatness and success, for both ourselves and others, we invariably begin to attract it into our lives.
Napoleon Hill said, "Every adversity has the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit."
Every story has two or more sides, and depending upon how you view any given story or circumstance may very well determine how aware you become of that "seed of an equivalent or greater benefit."

ow back to Tijuana, where we built 5 houses in a day and laid 14 foundations for new houses. Not all of us can drop everything and go to another country to build homes 
for people who on the previous day were living in large cardboard boxes. However, who in your immediate circle of influence could use some serious 'building' in their lives. Perhaps someone you know could use some help building their business, financial support or support for their goals and dreams, perhaps a relationship needs to be re-built or merely some inspiration and encouragement.
It is a good practice to ask oneself each day "What can I do right now, on this day, to improve the quality of someone's life and even my own?" The more times you ask the question... the more times you'll get an answer.ow back to Tijuana, where we built 5 houses in a day and laid 14 foundations for new houses.

My 'one' plus your 'one', plus his and hers and theirs, equals over 200 'ones'.
If enough of us dare to care enough, we can all say, "I can improve the world."
