Track Cumulative Effort

I donate toward
the planting of some trees
every month.
That monthly number isn’t very large.

I, however, also track
the lifetime-to-date,
the cumulative number of trees
I’ve helped plant.
After years of giving,
that number is now HUGE.

I’ve helped plant
the equivalent of
an entire forest.

I’m proud of that number.
I feel good about
making that difference
in the world.

Right now,
there’s likely something small
you’re doing every day/week/month.
Maybe it is social media posts
or
number of words written
or
cans of soup given to the food bank.

Consider tracking that effort
over time.
I suspect you’re making
a bigger impact
than you believe.
