You don't have to be a genius to change the world. We often believe that helping others requires wealth or power, but the reality is much simpler: we all have something of our own that we can share.
The genuine desire to be useful comes from within us, regardless of who we are or where we come from. This impulse is not just altruism; it is an inherent need of our human nature.
Feeling useful and purposeful feeds our self-esteem and gives us deep satisfaction. It is a direct connection to the essence of who we are.
Even science confirms this. Our thoughts, those streams of electrical energy known as brain waves (alpha, beta, theta and delta), become more intense when we connect with a higher purpose.
If we consider a genius to be someone capable of accessing knowledge beyond the ordinary, could the act of helping others be a way to tap into that universal wisdom and energy?
Mother Teresa of Calcutta, a true example of selfless service, understood this truth deeply. When asked what made her happy, she always replied, ‘Being useful to others.’
It is a lesson encapsulated in a timeless quote: ‘If everyone swept the doorstep of their own house, the world would be clean.’ Don't wait for someone else to do it for you. Every contribution, no matter how small, is the first step towards global change.
