“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.”
– Matthew 5:13
Add value.
Live amongst those that add value. Work with those that add value. Surround yourself with those that add value.
Adding value doesn’t require academic intelligence. It doesn’t require special skills, a college degree, or a certification. It doesn’t require a particular worldview or faith. It doesn’t require money. It doesn’t require voting for a particular person or party. It doesn’t require privilege. It doesn’t require followers. It doesn’t require a particular kind of job or business. It doesn’t require activism. It doesn’t require data. It doesn’t require a particular type of diet.
It just requires caring about someone or something else and then acting. Add value to one other person or billions of others. Size doesn’t matter.
Do it humbly. Show empathy. Have a pure heart.
Sometimes, I think we’ve lost the thread.
