Lately it sucks all the time but you can't use that as a excuse to be worse you need to use it as an excuse to be better. An excuse to try to make your little corner of the world the best little corner you can make it. Yeah, it's shit, life can be real shit, especially lately, but you do have SOME power. It may not feel like a lot of power but when you think about the fact that Nelson Mandela was a prisoner for 27 years then went on to become President of his country how do YOU really know how much power you have?
You can't possibly know your full potential. Just do your best and don't count yourself out and every time you see somebody being terrible use that as impetus to be the opposite. Every time you see someone tear someone else down use it as an excuse to build someone up.
Every time you think you can't get through it remember that Oprah Winfrey was a little Black girl in the deep south in the 50's who was abused, mistreated and poor, who everyone thought would amount to absolutely nothing and look at where she is now. Leighton Meester was literally born in a prison while her mother was serving time and she grew up to play Blair Waldorf, one of the richest most iconic characters on TV. Noel Gallagher grew up a dyslexic kid in the 60's and 70's, when they had no idea what dyslexia even was, to an abusive father who used to beat him and his mother until his mother took her three sons and escaped to a Council House (low-income living) in Manchester, at that time one of the poorest cities in England. He grew up to be the writer and guitarist of one of the biggest bands in the entire world.
You have NO IDEA what your potential is or how one little positive ripple you send out could influence the world. Keep putting goodwill out there. As Paul Walker used to say …“When you put good will out there, it's amazing what can be accomplished”
