Dr. Sandra C. Duru’s Voice of Nature | If you would make a list of the world’s problems now, the coronavirus pandemic would be the first.

If you would make a list of the world’s problems now, the coronavirus pandemic would be the first. Then, we have religious problems still causing disunity among humans. Then there are terminal diseases, poverty, mental sicknesses, mourning, and grief because people lose their loved ones every day. There’s heartbreak, friends, family, and lovers betraying each other, government bodies using the lives of the people to play politics, nature degenerating, and so many problems.

Then there’s you, probably struggling with grades, finances, health, kids and still trying to make someone else’s life better. It’s a lot, but one cannot face this life without some sort of inner strength.

As Michelle Obama said, you may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world’s problems. This is true. The world is large with a lot of problems and pressures. But you’re not lost in it. You can find yourself. You are important, despite all of these. You may not be able to solve it all at once but you can make a difference.

Michelle Obama also said that you should never underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown that courage can be contagious. You can make a change. You can live such a selfless inspiring life that many can emulate. You can make a difference in a life, that life can make a difference in another’s life, and the chain goes on, because of you.

Be confident.
