18 quotes to inspire you to be the light

Listen to this article

We all hope to make positive changes in the world, but sometimes we feel stuck or as though our good deeds aren’t making a difference. We wonder whether our efforts even matter. In the grand scheme of things, what difference can one person really make? But think about how you can inspire one person, and how that person can inspire another, and on and on. Even if it’s doing something small, the more of us that care about helping the world improve, the better the world will be in the future. Together, we can all make a difference, even if sometimes it feels impossible.

Here are 18 quotes on making a difference, in case you need a little extra motivation:
